Electron-Ion Collider at CEBAF: New Insights and Conceptual Progress
We report on progress in the conceptual development of the proposed high luminosity (up to 1035 cm-2s-1) and efficient spin manipulation (using ''figure 8'' boosters and collider rings) Electron-Ion Collider at the CEBAF. This facility would use a polarized 5-7 GeV electron beam from a superconducting energy recovering linac with a kicker-operated circulator ring, and a 30-150 GeV ion beam in a storage ring (for polarized p, d, 3He, Li and unpolarized totally stripped nuclei up to Ar). Ultra-high luminosity is envisioned to be achieved with very short crab-crossing bunches at 1.5 GHz repetition rate. Our recent studies were concentrated on understanding beam-beam interaction, ion beam instabilities, luminosity lifetime due to intrabeam scatterings, ERL-ring synchronization, and ion spin control. We also proposed a preliminary conceptual design of the interaction region.
