39. Richard G. MilnerRHIC Planning Meeting October 29-20, 2005 Review of eRHIC ZDR Detailed technical review of both ring-ring and linac-ring designs by Machine Advisory Committee in June 2005 Excellent technical criticism Status of the present design studies is not yet advanced enough to make a decision Ring-ring: challenging project, can be extrapolated from to-day’s experience and technology. Suggests pursuing ring-ring design as first priority with goal to develop a CDR Linac-ring: much more attractive regarding luminosity. Requires successful extrapolations on a number of fronts that are beyond what can be achieved to-day. Requires intensive R&D. Concentrate first on R&D which is useful to ring-ring and ring- linac options, e.g. ERL prototype, cooling of ion beams, and beam dynamics.
