Accelerator R and D - Y. Zhang

Fanglei Lin

  • Continued optimization of detector region optics in the electron collider ring.
  • Prepared the presentation and attended EIC collaboration meeting at BNL.
  • Miscellaneous: attended CASA group meeting, attended the JLEIC R&D meeting, attended JLEIC parameter coordination meeting.


Vasiliy Morozov

  • Preparation for and participation in the EIC collaboration meeting: talks on polarization dynamics and interaction region design.
  • Geometry tagging LDRD: preparation and submission of a project data sheet.
  • Planning design and R&D activities.

Activities planned in the upcoming two weeks:

  • Preparation of a 45 min talk for the 2017 Accelerator R&D PI Exchange Meeting.
  • Preparation of a presentation for the ICFA Mini-Workshop on Dynamic Apertures of Circular Accelerators.
  • Preparation and submission of the final report on the 2017 LDRD geometry tagging project.
  • Presentation on the beam polarization design at a Wednesday detector meeting.
  • Planning collaboration with SLAC and BNL.


Amy Sy

  • Started preparing draft documentation for JLEIC ion source requirements. Met with Matt Poelker and others to discuss a path forward for the atomic beam polarized ion source SBIR with Muons, Inc. Will likely revise the SBIR proposal to focus on a D- ion source for JLEIC/as a polarimeter in CEBAF.
  • Data analysis for Geometry Tagging LDRD: continued generating plots of nuclear thickness and yield as a function of relative rigidity and A of nuclear remnant for detected particles through the ion downstream final focus triplet. Began plotting similar plots for the second data set using density-weighted distance data.
  • Attended the EIC Collaboration Meeting at BNL.


Yuhong Zhang

  • Attended EIC collaboration meeting at BNL, prepared/gave a talk
  • Completed a revision of staged cooling scheme

No report


Diagnostic Development - K. Jordan

Kevin Jordan

  • Submitted requisition for $371k worth of waveguide for LERF project
  • Continued updating wiki
  • Waveguide review posted to https://wiki.jlab.org/lerf/index.php/Reviews
  • Working to finish Safety Assessment document, update schedule
  • Cryomodule shuffle has begun, first is to secure the vacuum on the 3 modules w/clean tent


Joe Gubeli

  • This week I finished up the LCLS-II waveguide layout. We had a review that went well. A list of the WG components were made and you generated a purchase requisition.
  • A little time was spent on cleaning up Lab 2.
  • Had a conservation with Bryce to talk about the upcoming experiment.


Mike Tiefenback

  • Working on JPos17 contributions plus I am reviewing the antiparallel acceleration mode with Wojtsekhowski. There may be options available to reduce exposure to C100 radiation damage.
  • Still trying to begin mass flow conversation, configure SLM expansion proposal for Arc 10, and get a start on characterizing/demonstrating optical resolution experimentally, prior to diagnostic installation. *Plus X-ray direct imaging.


LERF - S. Benson
October 2-13

  • Prepared presentation for EIC collaboration meeting
  • Attended EIC collaboration meeting.

October 16-27

  • Finish writing up papers for COOL17 and JPos17
  • Prepare presentation for EINN meeting
  • Finish Research plan for Cooler ring.
