| Abstract |
I describe a process for producing optimal linear non-scaling fixed field alternating gradient (FFAG) arc designs for the electron rings of eRHIC, an electron-ion collider in the RHIC tunnel at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The electrons are accelerated in two FFAG rings (low and high energy), which in addition to the arcs optimized here, contain straight sections, splitter/combiner sections, and a linac shared between the rings. The optimization process I use has two layers, an inner one meeting constraints and an outer optimization that minimizes a target function. The target function is an approximation to the FFAG arc cost, for which I give the function used and the basis for that choice. While reducing synchrotron radiation is important, I show that optimizing for synchrotron radiation alone leads to significant cost an performance penalties for the rest of the machine design for very little reduction in synchrotron radiation. I describe important constraints on the design, in particular minimum drift lengths, maximum and minimum tunes, and clearance from the beam to the beam pipe. Finally, I present possible eRHIC FFAG parameters resulting from this optimization.
