Luminosity
From Electron Ion Collider
High-precisision measurements at an EIC will require a sufficiently large beam luminosity.
This page contains information concerning the achievable luminosity of eRHIC based on current designs for the collider.

THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED SOON TO ACCOUNT FOR THE NEWEST DESIGN DEVELOPMENTS
eRHIC
The eRHIC design has an electron beam with energies ranging from 4 to 20 GeV (and 30GeV). The hadron beam energy can be varied and has
it maximum at 325 GeV for protons, giving a maximum centre of mass energy of 161 GeV (200GeV). It is planned to also have polarized He-3 beams.
The protons can have at all energies either longitudinal and transverse polarization and the leptons have longitudinal polarisation.
Maximum beam energy for gold nuclei is 130 GeV/A. RHIC can run a huge variety of nuclei from D, over Si, Cu to Au
Protons as well as nuclei beams can be run at lower energies as 325 /130 GeV/c/A, the luminosity scales for the lower energies as described in the table below.
The eRHIC design assumes CeC (Litvinenko and Derbenev, 2009) to be implemented.
The staging of eRHIC is done in the RF of the machine, if more money is available the linacs will be extended and the lepton energy increases.
All other machine elements will be there from the beginning. The lowest lepton beam energy is 5 GeV. For all stages of eRHIC the first machine elements are at 5m from the IP.
For more details please look to [following slides].
The luminosity and beam parameters for the eRHIC design are given in the table below.
Assuming an operational efficiency of 50%, the integrated luminosity per week of running is ∼ 4 fb-1.
For 30GeV x 325GeV/130 GeV/A the luminosity is at the 20% level of this for 20GeV x 325GeV/130 GeV/A, due to the reduced lepton beam current to keep the synchrotron radiation under control

PLEASE realize currently there is no possibility for hadron energies of 325 GeV at eRHIC
