Description
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) accelerates electrons from 750 MeV to 10 GeV over approximately 64.7 ms. While the baseline design simultaneously ramps both RF voltage and phase, this study evaluates an alternative where RF cavities are divided into two groups, each operating at a fixed 6.5 MV, with the effective voltage synthesized through phase control. In the symmetric scheme (Option A), both groups vary symmetrically about the synchronous phase to provide exact matching of energy gain and synchrotron tune throughout the ramp. Conversely, the asymmetric scheme (Option B) pins one group at the final operating phase while the other varies to supply the required energy gain. The feasibility of Option B is determined by the adiabaticity of the resulting synchrotron tune evolution, with ramp profiles, phase trajectories, and adiabaticity metrics analyzed for both implementations.
