Title: The ERL-based Design of Electron-Hadron Collider eRHIC

Conference ·

Recent developments of the ERL-based design of future high-luminosity electron-hadron collider eRHIC focused on balancing technological risks present in the design versus the design cost. As a result a lower risk design has been adopted at moderate cost increase. The modifications include a change of the main linac RF frequency, reduced number of SRF cavity types and modified electron spin transport using a spin rotator. A luminosity-staged approach is being explored with a Nominal design ($$L \sim 10^{33} {\rm cm}^2 {\rm s}^{-1}$$) that employs reduced electron current and could possibly be based on classical electron cooling, and then with the Ultimate design ($$L \gt 10^{34} {\rm cm}^{-2} {\rm s}^{-1}$$) that uses higher electron current and an innovative cooling technique (CeC). The paper describes the recent design modifications, and presents the full status of the eRHIC ERL-based design.
