MOA3IO01 | High Energy Coulomb Scattered Electrons Detected in Air Used as the Main Beam Overlap Diagnostics for Tuning the RHIC Electron Lenses | 20 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy A new type of electron-ion beam overlap monitor has been developed for the RHIC electron lenses. Low energy electrons acquire high energies in small impact parameter Coulomb scattering collisions with relativistic ions. Such electrons can traverse thin vacuum windows and be conveniently detected in air. Counting rates are maximized to optimize beam overlap. Operational experience with the electron backscattering detectors during the 2015 p-p RHIC run will be presented. Other possible real-time non-invasive beam-diagnostic applications of high energy Coulomb-scattered electrons will be briefly discussed. Most of this material appears in an article by the same authors entitled "High energy Coulomb-scattered electrons for relativistic particle beam diagnostics", Phys. Rev. Accel.

MOB3CO03 | RHIC Au-Au Operation at 100 GeV in Run16 | 42 |
|
||
In order to achieve higher instantaneous and integrated luminosities, the average Au bunch intensity in RHIC has been increased by 30% compared to the preceding Au run. This increase was accomplished by merging bunches in the RHIC injector AGS. Luminosity leveling for one of the two interaction points (IP) with collisions was realized by continuous control of the vertical beam separation. Parallel to RHIC physics operation, the electron beam commissioning of a novel cooling technique with potential application in eRHIC, Coherent electron Cooling as a proof of principle (CeCPoP), was carried out. In addition, a 56 MHz superconducting RF cavity was commissioned and made operational. In this paper we will focus on the RHIC performance during the 2016 Au-Au run. | ||

TUPOB55 | Optimize the Algorithm for the Global Orbit Feedback at Fixed Energies and During Acceleration in RHIC | 612 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-SC0012704 with the U.S. Department of Energy. To combat triplets vibration, the global orbit feedback system with frequency about 10 Hz was developed and en- gaged in operation at injection and top energy in 2010, dur- ing beam acceleration in 2012 at RHIC. The system has performed well with keeping 6 out of 12 eigenvalues for the orbit response matrix. However, we observed correc- tor current transients with the lattice for polarized proton program in 2015 which resulted in corrector power supply trips. In this report, we will present the observation, an- alyze the cause and also optimize the feedback algorithm to overcome the newly emerged problem with the feedback system. |

WEPOB68 | DESIGN AND SIMULATION OF EMITTANCE MEASUREMENT WITH MULTI-SLIT FOR LEREC | 1045 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-SC0012704 with the U.S. Department of Energy. To improve the luminosity of beam energy scan of low energy Au-Au collision, a electron machine is under con- struction to cool ion beams in both RHIC rings with pulsed electron beam. Over the course of the project, a multi- slit device is needed to characterize the transverse beam emittance of three energies, 0.4, 1.6 and 2.6 MeV. This re- port shows the optimization and compromise of the design, which include the slit width, slit spacing, and drift space from the multi-slit to the downstream profile monitor. |
