A failure of the RHIC superconducting circuit occurred at the end of Run 23 and led to an unplanned shutdown and extensive work to replace a damaged superconducting magnet. After an in-depth investigation, the failure was found to have started with an electrical short within a superconducting current lead. The short led to large spilling of current through auxiliary superconducting circuits...
The Ghost Collider makes use of unique “ghost” bunches, which are electrically neutral combinations of electrons and positrons within the same RF bucket, eliminates the beam-beam effects typically present at the interaction point (IP) in conventional colliders. This allows for the novel possibility of placing multiple interaction regions in series, achieving additive luminosity without...
In this study, we use tracking simulations to investigate synchrotron phase-space injection for electron accumulation in the electron storage ring of the Electron-Ion Collider. Our simulation model incorporates both beam-beam interactions and lattice nonlinearities. Specifically, we examine how particle loss depends on various parameters. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of synchrotron...
