Title: A BEAM SCREEN TO PREPARE THE RHIC VACUUM CHAMBER FOR EIC HADRON BEAMS: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND REQUIREMENTS

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1784486

The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) will use the existing Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider storage rings, including the superconducting magnet arcs [1]. The vacuum chambers in the superconducting magnets and the cold mass interconnects were not designed for EIC beams and so must be updated to reduce resistive-wall heating and to suppress e-clouds. To do so without compromising the EIC luminosity goal, a stainless steel beam screen with colaminated copper and a thin layer of amorphous carbon will be installed. This paper describes the main requirements that our solution for the hadron ring vacuum chamber needs to satisfy, including impedance, aperture limitations, vacuum, thermal and structural stability, mechanical design, installation and operation. The conceptual design of the beam screen currently under development is introduced.
