Bucket and bunch parameters for clean injection of low energy gold ions into RHIC
- Brookhaven National Lab. (BNL), Upton, NY (United States)
Collisions of gold nuclei in RHIC at five low energies, 3.85, 4.55, 5.75, 7.30, and 9.80 GeV per nucleon, are planned in the search for a critical point in the nuclear matter phase diagram. As discussed previously, having longer bunches of gold ions is advantageous for this program. The longer bunches are made possible by six new “9 MHz” cavities, three per ring, which produce harmonic 120 RF buckets. This is one third the harmonic number (360) produced by the standard “28 MHz” cavities.
