Title: The Beam-Beam Effect and its Consequences for the Jefferson Lab EIC

In this work we address the effect of beam jitter on emittance growth as caused by the beam-beam effect on the Jefferson Lab Electron Ion Collider (JLEIC). This proposed collider would collide up to 100 GeV proton beams with up to 10 GeV electron beams. Due to the asymmetric rigidities of the beams and their non-linear lensing action on each other during a collision, collective effects can limit beam storage times. Using simulations we determined that one of JLEIC’s synchronization concepts would require a new set of software tools to accurately understand phase space evolution.
