Status of the EIC HSR cold beam position monitors mechanical design and integration

Key Points

To assess the mechanical design and integration requirements for the new beam position monitors (BPM) in the EIC HSR.
Evaluated compatibility of existing RHIC BPM systems with EIC specifications.
Developed a design for cryogenic BPMs using button pick-ups.
Reviewed integration of new BPMs into existing infrastructure.
Identified incompatibilities between RHIC BPMs and EIC beam parameters.
Proposed a new cryogenic BPM design to meet EIC requirements.
Outlined design considerations crucial for upcoming procurement.

Abstract

The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) aims to leverage the hardware from the RHIC storage ring as much as possible. However, the RHIC stripline beam position monitors (BPM) used in the superconducting magnet cryostat will not be compatible with the planned EIC hadron beam parameters that include shorter bunches, higher beam current and operation of the beam with a radial offset in the vacuum chamber. A new cryogenic BPM design using button pick-ups integrated in a new interconnect bellow assembly will be installed adjacent to the decommissioned RHIC stripline BPMs. This paper will review some of the design considerations of the BPM system ahead of their procurement.
