Abstract

Stangenes Industries is working closely with Brookhaven National Lab in the United States to develop the eRHIC future ion collider. The collider requires a polarized electron source with high average current, short bunch length and small emittance. An array of photocathodes with their beams funnelled into a common trajectory is utilized to achieve the required beam current and charge lifetime. Stangenes Industries is tasked with delivering the prototype injector for preliminary beam studies that will lead to full implementation by 2016. This study focuses on the development of the of beam transport system extending from cathode to beam dump. A majority of the complexity involves the so called "combiner magnet" that acts as a high frequency-rotating dipole to bend each beam into the final common trajectory. Preliminary experiments into the feasibility of such a system are discussed.
