Title: Beam Dynamics and Instabilities in ELIC Design

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1029963

In this paper, we report the first study of beam related instabilities in lepton ring of the proposed electron-ion collider beyond the 12 GeV upgrade of CEBAF at Jefferson lab. The design parameters are consistent with PEP-II. Present studies reveal that coupled bunch and two stream instabilities are important issues and we need feedback system. The Medium Energy Electron Ion Collider (MEIC) at Jefferson Lab has been envisioned as future high energy particle accelerator beyond the 12 GeV upgrade of CEBAF. The MEIC will consist of the existing polarized electron source complex with 12 GeV upgrade and a new ion complex with polarized and unpolarized light to medium ions. The conceptual layout is shown in Fig. 1 and the basic parameters in comparison with the similar machines are discussed in Table 1. The maximum permissible collision frequency at 1.5 GHz is dictated by the existing electron machine, allowing the relatively small charge per bunch and large crossing angle resulting in the increased beam stability and high luminosity. In this paper, we present the preliminary study of collective effects for e-ring.
