An electron injector for the Electron-Ion Collider based on proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration

A. Caldwell, A. Pukhov, F. Willeke, H. Jaworska, J. P. Farmer, L Reichwein, M. Wing, N. Lopes

A proton-driven plasma wakefield scheme using RHIC protons can inject polarized electrons into the Electron-Ion Collider while meeting its design goals for polarization and luminosity.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Our initial study indicates that the design parameters of the EIC are within reach when accelerating the electron bunches in the proton-driven plasma wake, with average polarization of ~70% and a luminosity of 1e34 cm^{-2}s^{-1}.

C2weakest assumption

That the proton bunches from RHIC can drive a plasma wake capable of accelerating the electron bunches to the required energy and quality while maintaining the polarization and achieving the target luminosity without unforeseen technical obstacles.

C3one line summary

Proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration can serve as an electron injector for the EIC, reaching 70% polarization and 10^34 cm^{-2}s^{-1} luminosity.
