Abstract

The design strategy of the Medium Energy Electron-Ion Collider (MEIC) at Jefferson Lab considers both the matching of the beam spot sizes at collision and a 50 mrad crossing angle along with crab crossing scheme for both electron and ion beams over the energy range (√S = 20-70 GeV) to achieve high luminosities at the interaction points (IPs). However, the desired locations for placing the crabbing cavities may include regions where the transverse degrees of freedom of the beams are coupled with variable coupling strength that depends on the collider rings' magnetic elements (solenoids and skew quadrupoles). In this work we explore the feasibility of employing twin rf dipoles that produce a variable direction crabbing kick to account for a range of transverse coupling of both beams.
