  In March 2014, a Laser Ion Source (LIS) was commissioned which delivers high brightness low charge state heavy ions for the hadron accelerator complex in Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Since then, the LIS has provided many heavy ion species successfully. The induced low charge state (mostly singly charged) beams are injected to the Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) where ions are then highly ionized to fit to the following accelerator's Q/M acceptance, like Au32+. Last year, we upgraded the LIS to be able to provide two different beams into EBIS on a pulse-to- pulse basis. Now the LIS is simultaneously providing beams for both the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL). In the conference we present achieved performance and developed new techniques of the LIS.

  A laser ion source (LIS) provides several types of singly charged ions into an electron beam ion source (EBIS) followed by linear accelerator injectors for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. In the present set-up of the LIS, beam current shape varies with time drastically. It is expected that the present current shape is not optimal for the ion trap of the EBIS. However, there are no knobs to modify the shape flexibly. Therefore, as an upgrade of the LIS, we install a coil and a pulsed circuit* that generates a fast-rising pulsed magnetic field to tailor the beam current shape. In this presentation, the effect of the magnetic field on the beam profile from the LIS and the performance of the injectors, such as the transmission and the charge injected into an accelerator downstream, are described.

Non-magnetized bunched electron cooling of low-energy RHIC requires electron beam energy in range of 1.6-2.6 MeV, with average current up to 45 mA, very small energy spread, and low emittance [1]. A 400 kV DC gun equipped with photocathode and laser delivery system will serve as a source of high-quality electron beam. Acceleration will be achieved by an SRF 704 MHz booster cavity and other RF components that are scheduled to be operational in early 2018. The DC gun testing in its installed location in RHIC will start in early 2017. During this stage we plan to test the critical equipment in close to operation conditions: laser beam delivery system, cathode QE lifetime, DC gun, beam instrumentation, high power beam dump system, and controls. In this paper, we describe the gun test set up, major components, and parameters to be achieved and measured during the gun beam test.

The operation of LEReC is to provide an electron cooling to improve the luminosity of the RHIC heavy ion beam at lower energies in a range of 2.5-25 GeV/nucleon. The electron beam is generated in a DC Electron Gun (DC gun) designed and built by the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source Group. This DC gun will operate around the clock for at least two weeks without maintenance. This paper presents the design of a reliable cathode puck insertion system, which includes a multi-pucks storage device, a transfer mechanism, a puck insertion device, a vacuum/control system, and a transport scheme.
