Abstract

The polarized Medium energy Electron-Ion Collider (MEIC) envisioned at Jefferson Lab will cover a range of center-of-mass energies up to 70 GeV. The present MEIC design could also allow the accommodation of low energy electron-ion collisions for additional science reach. This paper presents the first design of the low energy ion collider ring which is converted from the large ion booster of MEIC. It can reach up to 25 GeV energy for protons and equivalent ion energies of the same magnetic rigidity. An interaction region and an electron cooler designed for MEIC are integrated into the low energy collider ring, in addition to other required new elements including crab cavities and ion spin rotators. A vertical chicane which brings the low energy ion beams to the plane of the electron ring and back to the low energy ion ring is also part of the design.
