Title: Small gap magnets and vacuum chambers for eRHIC

Conference ·
OSTI ID:952552

eRHIC[1][2][3], a future high luminosity electron-ion collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), will add polarized electrons to the list of colliding species in RHIC. A 10-30 GeV electron energy recovery linac (ERL) will require up to six passes around the RHIC 3.8 km circumference. We are developing and testing small (5 mm) gap dipole and quadrupole magnets and vacuum chambers for cost-effective eRHIC passes [4]. We are also studying the sensitivity of eRHIC pass optics to magnet and alignment errors in such a small magnet structure. We present the magnetic and mechanical designs of the small gap eRHIC components and prototyping test progress.
