Emittance and Bunch Length Measurement of the Electron Beams from the NSRRC Photocathode Gun
A high brightness photo-injector is under development for single pass FEL research at NSRRC. The gun test facility (GTF) equipped with a photocathode rf gun a compensation solenoid, a S-band high power pulse klystron as well as a UV driver laser has been constructed for testing the photocathode rf gun. The gun is fabricated in house and being tested at the GTF. Since the transverse emittance is a key property of the electron beam from the rf gun, multi-slit method is used to characterize the transverse emittance of the electron beam. Another key property of the electron beam is bunch length. An S-band three-cell deflecting cavity is designed to measure the bunch length. The setup and results of emittance measurement as well as the structure design of the deflecting cavity is reported in this contribution.

HIGH-FIDELITY 3D MODULATOR SIMULATIONS OF COHERENT ELECTRON COOLING SYSTEMS
Next generation electron-hadron colliders will require effective cooling of high-energy, high-intensity hadron beams. Coherent electron cooling (CeC) can in principle cool relativistic hadron beams on orders-of-magnitude shorter time scales than other techniques [1]. The parallel Vorpal framework is used for 3D delta-f PIC simulations of anisotropic Debye shielding in a full longitudinal slice of the co-propagating electron beam, choosing parameters relevant to the proof-of-principle experiment under development at BNL. The transverse density conforms to an exponential Vlasov equilibrium for Gaussian velocities, with no longitudinal density variation. Comparison with 1D1V Vlasov/Poisson simulations shows good agreement in 1D. Parallel 3D simulationsat NERSC show 3Deffects for ions moving longitudinally and transversely. Simulation results are comparedwith theconstant-densitytheoryof Wang and Blaskiewicz [2].

Modulator simulations for coherent electron cooling using a variable density electron beam
Increasing the luminosity of relativistic hadron beams is critical for the advancement of nuclear physics. Coherent electron cooling (CEC) promises to cool such beams significantly faster than alternative methods. We present simulations of 40 GeV/nucleon Au+79 ions through the first (modulator) section of a coherent electron cooler. In the modulator, the electron beam copropagates with the ion beam, which perturbs the electron beam density and velocity via anisotropic Debye shielding. In contrast to previous simulations, where the electron density was constant in time and space, here the electron beam has a finite transverse extent, and undergoes focusing by quadrupoles as it passes through the modulator. The peak density in the modulator increases by a factor of 3, as specified by the beam Twiss parameters. The inherently 3D particle and field dynamics is modeled with the parallel VSim framework using a $\delta$f PIC algorithm. Physical parameters are taken from the CEC proof-of-principle experiment under development at Brookhaven National Lab.

Lattice design for the ERL electron ion collider in RHIC
We present electron ion collider lattice design for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (eRHIC) where the electrons have multi-passes through recirculating linacs (ERL) and arcs placed in the existing RHIC tunnel. The present RHIC interaction regions (IR's), where the electron ion collisions will occur, are modified to allow for the large luminosity. Staging of eRHIC will bring the electron energy from 4 up to 20 (30) GeV as the superconducting cavities are built and installed sequentially. The synchrotron radiation from electrons at the IR is reduced as they arrive straight to the collision while ions and protons come with 10 mrad crossing angle using the crab cavities.

THE TRANSVERSE LINAC OPTICS DESIGN IN MULTI-PASS ERL
In this paper, we analyzed the linac optics design requirement for a multi-pass energy recovery linac (ERL) for arbitrary number of linacs. A set of general formula of constrains for the 2-D transverse matrix is derived to ensure design optics acceptance matching throughout the entire accelerating and decelerating process. Meanwhile, the rest free parameters can be adjusted for fulfilling other requirements or optimization purpose. As an example, we design the linac optics for the future MeRHIC (Medium Energy eRHIC) project and show the optimization for small {beta} function.

Study of electron-proton beam-beam interaction in eRHIC
Beam-beam effects present one of major factors limiting the luminosity of colliders. In the linac-ring option of eRHIC design, an electron beam accelerated in a superconducting energy recovery linac collides with a proton beam circulating in the RHIC ring. There are some features of beam-beam effects, which require careful examination in linac-ring configuration. First, the beam- beam interaction can induce specific head-tail type instability of the proton beam referred to as 'kink' instability. Thus, beam stability conditions should be established to avoid proton beam loss. Also, the electron beam transverse disruption by collisions has to be evaluated to ensure beam quality is good enough for the energy recovery pass. In addition, fluctuations of electron beam current and/or electron beam size, as well as transverse offset, can cause proton beam emittance growth. The tolerances for those factors should be determined and possible countermeasures should be developed to mitigate the emittance growth. In this paper, a soft Gaussian strong-strong simulation is used to study all of mentioned beam-beam interaction features and possible techniques to reduce the emittance growth.
