EBIS option for the relativistic heavy ion collider - RHIC
The present RHIC scenario for acceleration of gold ions starts with the BNL Tandem injecting Au{sup 14+} ions in to the Booster. As a future alternative to the Tandem and its 840 m transfer line to the Booster, the authors are considering an EBIS followed by an RFQ and a short linac. Such a preinjector should be capable of delivering ions of any species up to uranium, with intensities as required by RHIC. This paper will first present a short review of the state-of-the-art of intense EBIS devices, followed by an estimate of parameters of a source for RHIC and BNL. The authors plan to proceed in two phases, first to develop a device with an electron beam current of 1-2 A to serve as a feasibility test, and then to continue with the design of the final device. The second part of the paper will describe an RFQ and a linac for ions with a charge-to-mass ratio of about 0.18. Finally, the authors mention a scheme to inject in a fast sequence up to four pulses into the Booster, running in an accumulating mode.
