Description

The spin-preserving Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) is an integral component of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) complex. It will accelerate 750 MeV electrons from the Beam Accumulator Ring (BAR) to 5, 9, 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 dynamic aperture and spin preservation as well as a reduced-cost RCS for operations to 9 GeV.
