Abstract

To reach the design eRHIC luminosity, 50mA of polarized electron current is needed. This is more than what the present state-of-the-art polarized electron cathode can deliver. A high average polarized current injector based on the Gatling gun [1] principle is being designed. This technique will employ multiple cathodes and combine their multiple bunched beams along the same axis. A proof-of-principle test bench will be constructed that includes the 220 keV Gatling gun, beam combiner, diagnostics station, and collector. The challenges for the instrumentation systems and the beam diagnostics that will measure current, profile, position, and halo will be described.
