This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for simulation and design support services related to Radio-Frequency (RF) Systems for the Electron Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The work encompasses six primary tasks focused on RF system design, simulation studies, and power requirement evaluations across multiple RF subsystems including the Electron Storage Ring (ESR), Hadron Storage Ring (HSR), Ion Recirculation Ring (IRR), and Recirculation Linac (RCS). Tasks include power requirement evaluations with beam transient analysis, comprehensive HSR RF system simulations, detuning optimization studies at multiple frequencies (24, 49, 98, 197, 394, and 591 MHz), transverse distribution analysis in the presence of RF noise and crab cavities, and power requirement confirmation for the RCS 591 MHz RF system during ramp operations.

Deliverables consist of written technical reports for each task and comprehensive documentation including codes and manuals. Key milestones are scheduled throughout Fiscal Year 2027, with technical reports due at the end of Q1 (Tasks 3 and 4), Q2 (Tasks 1 and 5), Q3 (Task 6), and Q4 (Task 2), along with preliminary code development by end of Q3 and complete documentation submission by end of Q4. Work will be executed under the direction of the EIC RF Systems technical leads, requiring weekly teleconference participation for status reporting and progress review, with occasional videoconferences anticipated no more than once per week. This is currently a Pre-Solicitation Request for Information only; interested parties should submit capability statements to Eric Nagel at enagel@bnl.gov demonstrating relevant qualifications.
