2. MEIC Design Choices Achieving high luminosity  Very high bunch repetition frequency (1.5 GHz)  Very small β* to reach very small spot sizes at collision points  Short bunch length (σ z ~ β*) to avoid luminosity loss due to hour-glass effect (unless other mitigation schemes used)  Relatively small bunch charge for making short bunch possible  High bunch repetition restores high average current and luminosity MEIC High repetition rate Small bunch charge Short bunch length Small β* MeRHIC Low repetition rate High bunch charge Long bunch length (but…) Large β* (but…) VS. This luminosity concept has been tested at two B-factories very successfully, reaching luminosity above 10 34 cm -2 /s -1

7. MEIC/ELIC Design Process - Status Near-term design concentrates on parameters that are within state-of-the-art (exception: small bunch length & small vertical  * for proton/ion beams) Detector/IR design has concentrated on maximizing acceptance for deep exclusive processes and processes associated with very-forward going particles (detect remnants of struck quark & spectator quarks!) Exact energy/luminosity profile still a work in progress Summer 2010: MEIC design review followed by internal cost review (and finalizing input from user workshops) Many parameters related to the detector/IR design seem to be well matched now (crossing angles, magnet apertures/gradients/peak fields, field requirements), such that we do not end up with large “blind spots”.

Quotes from EICAC Report on Accelerator R&D Priorities Highest priority:  Design of JLab EIC  High current (e.g. 50 mA) polarized electron gun  Demonstration of high energy – high current recirculation ERL  Beam-Beam simulations for EIC  Polarized 3He production and acceleration  Coherent electron cooling High priority, but could wait until decision made:  Compact loop magnets  Electron cooling for JLab concepts  Traveling focus scheme (it is not clear what the loss in performance would be if it doesn’t work; it is not a show stopper if it doesn’t)  Development of eRHIC-type SRF cavities Medium Priority:  Crab cavities  ERL technology development at JLAB Slide from Steve Vigdor
