WEO1A02 | LHC Impedance Model: Experience with High Intensity Operation in the LHC | 349 |
|
||
The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is now in luminosity production mode and has been pushing its performance in the past months by increasing the proton beam brightness, the collision energy and the machine availability. As a consequence, collective effects have started to become more and more visible and have effectively slowed down the performance increase of the machine. Among these collective effects, the interaction of brighter LHC bunches with the longitudinal and transverse impedance of the machine has been observed to generate beam induced heating and transverse instabilities since 2010. This contribution reviews the current LHC impedance model obtained from theory, simulations and bench measurements as well as a selection of measured effects with the LHC beam. | ||

Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. In this article we will review the beam-beam effects in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). We will cover the experimental observations, beam-beam simulation techniques and results, and head-on beam-beam compensation with electron lenses. The next luminosity goal in the RHIC polarized proton operation is to double the luminosity with a higher proton bunch intensity. After the upgrade, the beam-beam parameter will reach 0.03. Head-on beam-beam compensation is aimed to reduce the beam-beam tune spread and non-linear beam-beam resonance driving terms. |
