Description

The spin-transparent Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) is an integral component of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) complex. It will accelerate 750 MeV electrons from the linac to 5, 10, or 18 GeV, as required by the Electron Storage Ring (ESR), all while preserving the polarization. We discuss here the design considerations and the current optics solution, including considerations related to injection and extraction, dynamic aperture, and spin preservation.
