Six-dimensional weak-strong simulation of head-on beam-beam compensation in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider

To compensate the beam-beam tune spread and beam-beam resonance driving terms in the polarized proton operation in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), we will introduce a low energy DC electron beam into each ring to collide head-on with the opposing proton beam. The device to provide the el...
