| Publication Abstract: | The proposed Jefferson Lab Electron Ion Collider (JLEIC) will collide up to 10 GeV electrons with up to 100 GeV protons (or equivalent ions) for nuclear physics experiments. This proposed collider would require that a new ion complex be built at Jefferson Lab. The current design of this complex envisions a 285 MeV linac driving the ions from the source to a booster which will accelerate them to 8 GeV before injecting them into a large collider ring where they will reach their collision energy. This booster has recently been redesigned to allow a higher top energy. In order to avoid transition crossing across the energy range of the booster, flexible momentum compaction (FMC) cells are used in the arcs. Steps were also taken to eliminate synchrobetatron issues caused by non-linear dispersions brought about by the FMC arcs. This new lattice is undergoing preliminary simulations of injection and energy ramping, using the space charge code SYNERGIA. |
