MOYCP01 | Design and Simulation of IOTA - a Novel Concept of Integrable Optics Test Accelerator | 16 |
|
||
The use of nonlinear lattices with large betatron tune spreads can increase instability and space charge thresholds due to improved Landau damping. Unfortunately, the majority of nonlinear accelerator lattices turn out to be nonintegrable, producing chaotic motion and a complex network of stable and unstable resonances. Recent advances in finding the integrable nonlinear accelerator lattices have led to a proposal to construct at Fermilab a test accelerator with strong nonlinear focusing which avoids resonances and chaotic particle motion. This presentation will outline the main challenges, theoretical design solutions and construction status of the Integrable Optics Test Accelerator underway at Fermilab. | ||

Funding: Fermi Research Alliance, LLC operates Fermilab under Contract DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the US Department of Energy. This work was partially supported by the US LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP). The concept of augmenting the conventional collimation system of high-energy storage rings with a hollow electron beam was successfully demonstrated in experiments at the Tevatron. A reliable numerical model is required for understanding particle dynamics in the presence of a hollow beam collimator. Several models were developed to describe imperfections of the electron beam profile and alignment. The features of the imperfections are estimated from electron beam profile measurements. Numerical simulations of halo removal rates are compared with experimental data taken at the Tevatron. |

MOPPC002 | Local Chromatic Correction Scheme and Crab-waist Collisions for an Ultra-low β* at the LHC | 118 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the European Commission under the FP7 Research Infrastructures project Eu- CARD, grant agreement no. 227579. We discuss potential merits and the parameter range of interest for a possible crab-waist collision scheme at the LHC, and report preliminary optics studies of a local chromatic correction scheme with flat beams (βx*>>βy*), which could boost the LHC luminosity by about an order of magnitude and would also allow for crab-waist collisions. |

TUEPPB002 | Numerical Simulations of Transverse Beam Diffusion Enhancement by the Use of Electron Lens in the Tevatron Collider | 1113 |
|
||
Funding: "Fermi Research Alliance, LLC operates Fermilab under Contract DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the US Department of Energy. This work was partially supported by the US LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP)." Transverse beam diffusion for the Tevatron machine has been calculated using the Lifetrac code. The following effects were included: random noise (representing residual gas scattering, voltage noise in the accelerating cavities) lattice nonlinearities and beam-beam interactions. The time evolution of particle distributions with different initial amplitudes in Hamiltonian action has been simulated for 6 million turns, corresponding to a machine time of about 2 minutes. For each particle distribution, several cases have been considered: a single beam in storage ring mode, the collider case, and the effects of a hollow electron beam collimator |

TUPPC090 | Beam Physics of Integrable Optics Test Accelerator at Fermilab | 1371 |
|
||
Funding: Fermi Research Alliance, LLC operates Fermilab under Contract DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the US Department of Energy. Fermilab's Integrable Optics Test Accelerator is an electron storage ring designed for testing advanced accelerator physics concepts, including implementation of nonlinear integrable beam optics and experiments on optical stochastic cooling. The machine is currently under construction at the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator facility. In this report we present the goals and the current status of the project, and describe the details of machine design. In particular, we concentrate on numerical simulations setting the requirements on the design and supporting the choice of machine parameters. |

TUPPR088 | Baseline Design of the SuperB Factory Injection System | 2032 |
|
||
The injection complex of the SuperB, B-factory project of INFN consists of a polarized electron gun, a positron production system, electron and positron linac sections, a positron damping ring and the transfer lines connecting these systems and the collider main rings. To keep the ultra high luminosity nearly constant, continuous injection of 4 GeV electrons and 7 GeV positrons in both Low Energy Ring (LER) and High Energy Ring (HER) is necessary. In this paper we describe the baseline design and the beam dynamics studies performed to evaluate the system performance. | ||
