RHIC Operations and Plans
• Run 1: FY 2000 28 wks Au-Au (130 GeV/A)• Run 2:FY 2001-02 40 wks Au-Au (200 GeV/A) p↑-p↑ (200 GeV)• Run 3:FY 2003 29 wks d-Au (200 GeV/A) p↑-p↑ (200 GeV) ~30% Pol.• Run 4:FY 2004 27 wks Au-Au (200, 62 GeV/A) p↑-p↑ (200 GeV)• Run 5:FY 2005 32 wks Cu-Cu (200, 62 GeV/A) p↑-p↑ (200 GeV) ~50% Pol
Near term improvements in progress• Superconducting helical snakes in the AGS for higher polarization for FY 2006 Runs• Development of EBIS ion source for flexibility of ion operation

First Five Years of RHIC Experiments
• The luminosity performance of RHIC for Au-Au & Cu-Cu collisions exceeded the design values.
• We observed creation of a new state of matter in Au-Au collisions at 200 GeV/A collision energy: – hot, dense and strongly coupled, – behaving like perfect fluid.
• Next stage of the program:– Study properties of the new state of matter– Study of rare processes Requires much higher
average/integrated luminosity

Control of Emittance Growth: Cooling
• The Au-Au luminosity life-time is only a few hours• Strong intra-beam scatterings cause emittance growth:
– Longitudinal: loss of ions from colliding buckets– Transverse: larger crossing beam spot size
• Cooling of ion beams: the key to a longer luminosity life-time: i.e., a higher average luminosity
• Cooling:– Stochastic cooling: more effective for hot beam
• Difficult for bunched Proton beams but it appears that it can work for heavy ion beams in RHIC
• Longitudinal cooling test in preparation– Electron cooling: more effective for cool beam
• It has been successful at lower energies but has not been demonstrated at high energy like RHIC

The Objectives of RHIC e-Cooling and Challenges
• ~10 times Increase of RHIC average luminosity for Au-Au at 100 GeV/A
• Reduce background due to beam loss
• Keep short collision diamond by maintaining short bunch length to match detector’s acceptance
• Cooling rate slows in proportion to 7/2.
• Energy of electrons needed (54 MeV) is well above DC accelerators.
• Requires bunched e beam.
• Need exceptionally high electron bunch charge and low emittance.
• Need ERL to provide low emittance e-beam while maintaining a reasonable power demand.

R&D: Theory Issues
• We must understand cooling physics in a new regime:
– understanding IBS, recombination, disintegration– binary collision simulations for benchmarking– experimental benchmarking of the magnetized cooling
efficiency issues
• Cooling dynamics simulations with precision
• A good estimate of the luminosity gain is essential.
• Simulations show that:10X increase in the average luminosity can be
achieved(from 7x1026 to ~7x1027 cm-2s-1)

The Possibility of Non-magnetized Electron Cooling
• Handling of magnetized beams is not easy, and the system is complex and expensive.
• At high , achievable solenoid error limits the cooling speed of the magnetized cooling.
Another way is the non-magnetized e-cooling:• A study showed that sufficient cooling rates can be achieved
with non-magnetized cooling.• Recombination beam loss is a concern but can be managed
to be small enough to assure a long luminosity life-time– By reduced bunch charge– By larger beam size
• Helical undulator can further reduce recombination**Suggested by Derbenev, and independently by Litvinenko

Non-magnetized Cooling: Parameters Beam Parameters:• Rms momentum spread of electrons =10-3
• Rms normalized emittance: 2.5 µmrad• Rms radius of electron beam in cooling section: 2.5 mm• Rms bunch length: 5 cm• Charge per bunch: 5nC (cf. 20nC for magnetized case)• Cooling sections: 2x30 m• Large ion beam in the cooling section: β* = 200 m
All ERL technology developments for mag-cool applies here but• without complex magnetized electron beam gun, • without bunch stretcher and compressor, and• without complex beam optics to preserve magnetization
