A hollow electron beam has been proposed as an active control tool to remove the halo from high-energy, high-current hadron or ion machines (such High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider). To study removal rate and assess effect on core, one of two lenses in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider was changed a Gaussian profile profile. We describe design verification parameters well methods minimize distortions, which can result emittance increase. The alignment with by using backscattered detector...
Two electron lenses ($e$-lenses) have been in operation during the 2015 RHIC physics run as part of a head-on beam-beam compensation scheme. While lattice was chosen to reduce beam-beam-induced resonance-driving terms, reduced tune spread. This has demonstrated for first time. The scheme allows higher parameters and therefore intensities luminosity. In this paper, we detail design considerations verification beam $e$-lenses. Longitudinal transverse alignments with ion beams transfer function...
In this paper, we propose a simplified model for easy estimation of design parameters and quick analysis fast pulsed inductive adder modulators. Analytical method is used to deduct the circuit model. This offers an way understand behavior inductive-adder modulator circuits provides designers helpful tool estimate critical such as pulse rise time, system impedance, number stages, etc. Computer simulations demonstrate that parameter based on fairly accurate compared original circuit. Further...
The head-on beam-beam interaction is the dominant luminosity limiting effect in polarized proton operation RHIC. To mitigate this an electron lens was installed each of two RHIC rings. We summarize hardware and beam commissioning results to date, report on first experience with electron-hadron interaction. In 2014 has operated gold beams only. case not limited by interactions compensation necessary. goals years efforts are a test all instrumentation; demonstration overlap; parameters that...
In the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) 100 GeV polarized proton run in 2015, two electron lenses were used to partially compensate for head-on beam-beam effect first time. Here, we describe design of current lens, detailing hardware modifications made after 2014 commissioning with heavy ions. A new gun 15-mm diameter cathode is characterized. The beam transverse profile was measured using a YAG screen and fitted Gaussian distribution. During operation, overlap beams achieved...

In polarized proton operation, the performance of Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is limited by head-on beam-beam effect. To overcome this limitation, two electron lenses are under commissioning. We give an overview compensation in general and specific design for RHIC, which based on lenses. The status installation commissioning presented along with plans future.
This power supply was designed and developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) as part of a new ion pre injector system called EBIS (Electron Beam Ion Source). It consists charging supply, capacitor bank, discharge recovery circuit control circuits.

Inductive voltage adder topology has attracted great attentions in pulse power community for near two decades. However, there been lack of literatures on inductive network analysis and circuit design model. We have recently developed a simplified model set simple formulas.
