2. MEIC Design Choices Achieving high luminosity • Very high bunch repetition frequency (1.5 GHz) • Very small β* to reach very small spot sizes at collision points • Short bunch length (σz~ β*) to avoid luminosity loss due to hour-glass effect (unless other mitigation schemes used) • Relatively small bunch charge for making short bunch possible • High bunch repetition restores high average current and luminosity This luminosity concept has been tested at two B-factories very successfully, reaching luminosity above 1034 cm-2/s-1 • MeRHIC • Low repetition rate • High bunch charge • Long bunch length (but…) • Large β* (but…) • MEIC • High repetition rate • Small bunch charge • Short bunch length • Small β* • VS.

3. Current Ideas for a Collider Design Goals for Colliders Under Consideration World-wide Present focus of interest (in the US) are the (M)EIC and Staged MeRHIC versions, with s up to ~3000 and ~5000, resp.

4. Both laboratories are working together to get advice on the best steps towards a US Electron-Ion Collider. Sam Aronson and Christoph Lehmann/Hugh Montgomery have named an international EIC Advisory Committee: Joachim Bartels Allen Caldwell Albert De Roeck Walter Henning (chair) David Hertzog Xiangdong Ji Robert Klanner Alfred Mueller Katsunobu Oide Naohito Saito Uli Wienands 1st meeting Feb. 16, 2009 at SURA headquarters, D.C. 2nd meeting Nov. 2&3, 2009 at Jefferson Lab 3rd meeting around September???, 2010 At BNL??? Concrete design for EIC@Jlab requested by this meeting Internal reviewed cost estimate requested by this meeting

5. Near-Term MEIC Design Parameters Luminosity expected to be around 1 x 1034 e-nucleons/s/cm2 around 60x5 GeV2, and be well above 1033 at “s edges”

6. (M)EIC@JLab: Plan and Deliverables Slide from Yuhong Zhang • Accelerator Design “Contract” • Medium energy with scaled down parameters (ELIC version M.1) • “Contract” revision (end of 2010), after user workshops and the next EIC AC meeting • “Design Manual” • A 20 to 30 page document, archived in web • Explanation of high level design choices • Main and secondary parameters, schemes • Major components, and interfaces between them • Action items • Finish “action items/decision points” in about a week each • Work scope • Collecting information/references • Performing estimations/calculations if applicable • Formulate a solution/recommendation • Present in ELIC R&D meeting • Write a (minimum) half page on each item for the “design manual” • Similar Action Item: Detector/IR document

7. MEIC/ELIC Design Process - Status • Near-term design concentrates on parameters that are within state-of-the-art (exception: small bunch length & small vertical b* for proton/ion beams) • Detector/IR design has concentrated on maximizing acceptance for deep exclusive processes and processes associated with very-forward going particles • (detect remnants of struck quark & spectator quarks!) • Exact energy/luminosity profile still a work in progress • Summer 2010: MEIC design review followed by internal cost review (and finalizing input from user workshops) • Many parameters related to the detector/IR design seem to be well matched now (crossing angles, magnet apertures/gradients/peak fields, field requirements), such that we do not end up with large “blind spots”.

Quotes from EICAC Report on Accelerator R&D Priorities • Highest priority: • Design of JLab EIC • High current (e.g. 50 mA) polarized electron gun • Demonstration of high energy – high current recirculation ERL • Beam-Beam simulations for EIC • Polarized 3He production and acceleration • Coherent electron cooling • High priority, but could wait until decision made: • Compact loop magnets • Electron cooling for JLab concepts • Traveling focus scheme (it is not clear what the loss in performance would be if it doesn’t work; it is not a show stopper if it doesn’t) • Development of eRHIC-type SRF cavities Medium Priority: • Crab cavities • ERL technology development at JLAB Slide from Steve Vigdor
