MOPRO013 | Present Status of Coherent Electron Cooling Proof-of-Principle Experiment | 87 |
|

Funding: Work supported by Stony Brook University and by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. The Coherent Electron Cooling Proof of Principle (CeC PoP) system is being installed in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. It will demonstrate the ability of relativistic electrons to cool a single bunch of heavy ions in RHIC. This technique may increase the beam luminosity by as much as tenfold. Within the scope of this experiment, a 112 MHz 2 MeV Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) electron gun coupled with a cathode stalk mechanism, two normal conducting 500 MHz single-cell bunching cavities, a 704 MHz 20 MeV 5-cell SRF cavity and a helical undulator will be used. In this paper, we provide an overview of the engineering design for this project, test results and discuss project status and plansd. |

MOPRI059 | Fabrication of Alkali Antimonide Photocathode for SRF Gun | 742 |
|
||
Funding: * This work is supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. DOE and DOE grant The first alkali antimonide photocathode was prepared and inserted into the BNL 704 MHz SRF gun. An excimer laser cleaning system was installed in a cathode deposition chamber and the cleaning technique developed previously was used in the first cathode preparation. We also demonstrated that oxidized cathode can be removed by exposing it to the same excimer laser. In this paper, we show the set up of the incorporated laser cleaning system and the QE enhancement of alkali antimony photocathode. The vacuum evolution at transport cart and QE measurement system are also discussed. |

MOPRI064 | First Test Results from SRF Photoinjector for the R&D ERL at BNL | 748 |
|
||
Funding: This work is supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. DOE and DOE grant at Stony Brook, DE-SC0005713. An ampere class 20 MeV superconducting Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) is presently under commissioning at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). This facility enables testing of concepts relevant for high-energy coherent electron cooling, electron-ion colliders, and high repetition rate Free-Electron Lasers. The ERL will be capable of providing electron beams with sufficient quality to produce high repetition rate THz and X-ray radiation. When completed the SRF photoinjector will provide 2 MeV energy and 300 mA average beam current. The injector for the R&D ERL was installed in 2012, this includes a 704MHz SRF gun* with multi-alkali photocathode, cryo-system upgrade and a novel emittance preservation zigzag-like low energy merger system. We describe the design and major components of the R&D ERL injector then report the first experimental results and experiences learned in the first stage of beam commissioning of the BNL R&D ERL. * Wencan Xu et al., “Commissioning SRF gun for the R&D ERL at BNL”, IPAC2013 proceedings, WEPWO085. |

TUPRO032 | RHIC Performance for FY2014 Heavy Ion Run | 1090 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. After running uranium-uranium and copper-gold collisions in 2012, the high energy heavy ion run of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) for Fiscal Year 14 (Run14) is back to gold-gold (Au-Au) collisions at 100 GeV/nucleon. Following the level of performance achieved in Run12, RHIC is still looking to push both instantaneous and integrated luminosity goals. To that end, a new 56 MHz superconducting RF cavity was installed and commissioned, designed to keep ions in one RF bucket and improve luminosity by allowing a smaller beta function at the interaction point (IP) due to a reduced hourglass effect. The following presents an overview of these changes and reviews the performance of the collider. |

TUPME084 | On the Frequency Choice for the eRHIC SRF Linac | 1547 |
|
||
Funding: Work is supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the US DOE. eRHIC is a future electron-hadron collider proposed at BNL. It will collide high-intensity hadron beams from one of the existing rings of RHIC with a 50-mA electron beam from a multi-pass 10-GeV superconducting RF (SRF) Energy Recovery Linac (ERL). A novel approach to the multi-pass ERL utilizing a non-scaling FFAG was recently proposed. It has many advantages over the previous designs including significant cost savings. The current design has 11 passes in two FFAG rings. To mitigate various beam dynamics effects, it was proposed to lower RF frequency of the SRF linac from 704 MHz used in the previous design. In this paper we consider different effects driving the frequency choice of the SRF ERL and present our arguments for choosing lower RF frequency. |

WEPRI081 | Mechanical Design of the 704 MHz 5-cell SRF Cavity Cold Mass for CeC PoP Experiment | 2678 |
|
||
Funding: * Work is supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the US DOE. A 5-cell SRF cavity operating at 704 MHz will be used for the Coherent Electron Cooling Proof of Principle (CeC PoP) system under development for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The CeC PoP experiment will demonstrate the new technique of cooling proton and ion beams that may increase the beam luminosity in certain cases, by as much as tenfold. The 704 MHz cavity will accelerate 2 MeV electrons from a 112 MHz SRF gun up 22 MeV. Novel mechanical designs, including a super fluid heat exchanger, helium vessel, vacuum vessel and tuner mechanism are presented. Structural and thermal analysis, using ANSYS were performed to confirm the mechanical tuning system structural stability. This paper provides an overview of the design, the project status and schedule of the 704 MHz 5-cell SRF for CeC PoP experiment. |
