  2. Topic Outline • LeRHIC Program Summary • Review Conceptual Cavity Designs • Outline Current Cavity Design • Present EM Simulation Methods & Results

  3. Low Energy RHIC Program Summary We are in search of the “critical point” where matter violently transitions back from a Quark-Gluon Plasma to a Hadron Gas. QCD phase diagram for nuclear matter.

  4. Low Energy RHIC Program Summary We are in search of the “critical point” where matter violently transitions back from a Quark-Gluon Plasma to a Hadron Gas. A new low frequency RF system is required to reduce the space charge limitations that prohibit strong electron cooling. QCD phase diagram for nuclear matter.

  5. Cavity Conceptual Design History • Dielectric Loaded Folded Cavity • 4.5MHz cavity length = 2m • Combines gap and cavity foreshortening functions • High Q when compared to ferrite cavities (Wesgo AL-995 tan(δ) = 3e-5) Air Vacuum

  6. Cavity Conceptual Design History • Dielectric Loaded Folded Cavity • Vp = 40kV (80kV Total) • fo = 4.5MHz • Qo ≈ 3000 Air Vacuum

  7. Cavity Conceptual Design History • Dielectric Loaded Folded Cavity • Vp = 40kV (80kV Total) • fo = 4.5MHz (L Increases 25% with 9MHz) • Qo ≈ 3000 Want More Luminosity! Air Vacuum
