Over the past year, a baseline design of the electron ring for the eRHIC hadron-lepton collider has been developed.This site-specific design is based on the understanding of the existing RHIC machine performance and its possible upgrades.The design includes a full energy polarized electron beam injector to ensure operational reliability and to provide high integrated luminosity.The electron ring energy range is 5 to 10 GeV.The electron beam emittance, the electron beam path length and the interaction region optics have to be adjusted over a wide range to match the hadron beam of various species and variable energies.We describe the expected machine perfomance, the interaction region and the lattice design. We also discuss the possible approaches leading to the 1033 cm-2s-1 luminosity for the collisions between 10 GeV polarized electron beam and 250 GeV polarized proton beam.

Longitudinally polarized proton beams have been accelerated, stored and collided at 100GeV in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to study spin effects in the hadronic reactions. The essential equipment includes four Siberian snakes, eight spin rotators and a fast relative polarimeters in each of the two RHIC rings as well as local polarimeters at the STAR and PHENIX detectors. This paper summarizes the performance of RHIC as a polarized proton collider.

To improve cooling capability of electron coolers magnetized beams in strong solenoid fields are used. Too avoid betatron coupling in the ion coupling compensation is required. For the RHIC electron cooler we propose a scheme consisting of two identical solenoids with opposing fields, connected by a quadrupole matching section that preserves the electron beam magnetization. Since the fringe fields of the individual magnets overlap, the matching section can not be designed with standard optics codes. We developed an optimization code based on particle tracking instead. Input for the program are the simulated/measured field maps of the magnets. We demonstrate that the transverse temperature of the electron beam does not increase.

To maintain low electron beam temperatures in the proposed RHIC electron cooler, careful matching of the magnetized beam from the source to the cooler solenoid is mandatory. We propose a tomographic technique to diagnose matching conditions. First simulation results will be presented.

After an exploratory phase, during which a number of beam parameters were varied, the RHIC experiments now demand high luminosity to study heavy ion collisions in detail. Presently RHIC operates routinely above its design luminosity. In the first 4 weeks of its current operating period (Run-4) the machine has delivered more integrated luminosity that during the 14 weeks of the last gold-gold operating period (Run-2). We give an overview of the changes that increased the instantaneous luminosity and luminosity lifetime, raised the reliability, and improved the operational efficiency.

The paper reviews the progress made lately in the design of eRHIC, proposed future electron-ion collider on the basis of the existing RHIC machine. The eRHIC aims to provide collisions of electrons and positrons on ions and protons in center mass energy range of 25-70 GeV. The goal luminosities are in 1032-1033 1/(s*cm2) values for e-p and in 1030-1031 1/(s*cm2) values for e-Au collisions. An essential design requirement is to provide longitudinally polarized beams of electrons and protons (and, possibly lighter ions) at the collision point. The eRHIC ZDR has been recently developed which considers various aspects of the accelerator design. An electron accelerator, which delivers about 0.5A polarized electron beam current in the electron energy range of 5 to 10 GeV, should be constructed at the BNL near existing ion rings of the RHIC collider and should intersect an ion ring at least in one of the available ion ring interaction regions. In order to reach the luminosity goals some upgrades in ion rings also would be required. Ways to reach lower beam emmittances (electron cooling) and higher beam intensities have to be realized.

Beam induced pressure rise remains an intensity limit at the RHIC for both heavy ion and polarized proton operations. The beam injection pressure rise at warm sections has been diagnosed due to electron cloud effect. In addition, pressure rise of heavy ion operation at the beam transition has caused experiment background problem in deuteron-gold run, and it is expected to take place in gold-gold run at high intensities. This type of pressure rise is related to beam momentum spread, and the electron cloud seems not dominant. Extensive approaches for both diagnosis and looking-for-remedies are undergoing in the current gold operation, RUN 4. Results of beam scrubbing, NEG pipe in RHIC ring, beam scraping test of ion desorption, beam momentum effect at the transition, beam gap effect, solenoid effect, and NEG pipe ion desorption test stand will be presented.
