  The use of a radiative process such as the Coherent Smith-Purcell Radiation (CSPR) is a very promising non-invasive technique for the reconstruction of the time profile of relativistic electron bunches. Currently existing CSPR monitors do not have yet single-shot capability. Here we study the feasibility of using a CSPR based monitor for bunch length measurement at the End Station Test Beam (ESTB) at SLAC. The aim is to design a second-generation device with single-shot capability, and use it as a diagnostic tool at ESTB. Simulations of the spectral CSPR energy distribution and feasibility study have been performed for the optimization of the parameters and design of such a device.

  We study the feasibility of using a multi-Optical Transition Radiation (mOTR) system for fast transverse emittance reconstruction and x-y coupling correction in the Ring to Main Linac (RTML) of the future linear colliders: ILC and CLIC. OTR monitors are mature and reliable diagnostic tools that could be very suitable for the setup and tuning of the machine in single-bunch mode. Here we study the requirements for a mOTR system adapted to the optical conditions and beam parameters of the RTML of both the ILC and CLIC.

  The Pre-Damping Rings (PDRs) and Damping Rings (DRs) of CLIC are needed to reduce the beam emittances to the small values required for the main linacs. The injection and extraction, from the PDRs and DRs, are carried out by kicker systems. In order to achieve both low beam coupling impedance and reasonable broadband impedance matching to the electrical circuit, striplines have been chosen for the kicker elements. The design of the stripline kicker was previously carried out by modelling the striplines with simulation codes such as HFSS, Quickfield and CST Particle Studio. In order to have a complete analysis of the striplines, the effect of electrodes supports and coaxial feedthroughs have been studied in detail. In this paper, electromagnetic analyses of the complete striplines, including fabrication tolerances, are reported. Furthermore, a new idea for impedance matching is presented.

  A multi-Optical Transition Radiation (mOTR) system made of four stations is being used routinely since September 2011 for transverse beam size measurement and emittance reconstruction in the extraction line of ATF2, providing diagnostic support during the ATF2 tuning operation. Furthermore it is also an excellent tool for fast transverse coupling correction. Due to the compactness of the current design the system has an influence in the increase of the transverse emittance due to wakefield effects when a simultaneous measurement is made. To avoid this effect a new target holder and a new optics has been designed and implemented. In this paper we describe the present status of the ATF2 mOTR system, showing recent performance results, and hardware design improvements.

One of the main purposes of tracking simulations for collimation studies is to produce loss maps along the LHC ring, in order to identify the level of local beam losses during nominal and abnormal operation scenarios. The SixTrack program is the standard tracking tool used at CERN to perform these studies. Recently, it was expanded in order to evaluate the proton load on different collimators in case of fast beam failures. Simulations are compared with beam measurements at 4 TeV. Combined failures are assumed which provide worst-case scenarios of the load on tungsten tertiary collimators.

The luminosity upgrade project of the LHC collider at CERN is based on a strong focusing scheme to reach smallest beam sizes at the collision points. Depending on the available magnet technology (Nb3Sn or NbTi) a number of beam optics has been developed to define the specifications for the new super conducting quadrupoles. In the context of the optics matching new issues have been addressed and new concepts have been used: Quadrupole strength flexibility and chromatic corrections have been studied, as well as the influence of quadrupole fringe fields. The lattice has been optimised including the needs of the foreseen crab cavities and the transition between injection and low β optics had to guarantee smooth gradient changes over a wide range of β* values. Tolerances on misalignments and power converter ripple have been re-evaluated. Finally the combination of the quadrupole strengths in the high luminosity matching sections with those in the neighboring sectors is explained, a key concept of the ATS to reach smallest β* values. This paper presents the results obtained within the HiLumi collaboration Task 2.2 and summarises the main parameters of the project.

  In this paper we analyze the projected emittance (2D) and the intrinsic emittance (4D) reconstruction method by using the beam size measurements at different locations. We have studied analytically the conditions of solvability of the systems of equations involved in this process and we have obtained some rules about the locations of the measurement stations to avoid unphysical results. Presently, simulations are being made to test the robustness of the algorithm in realistic scenarios with high coupling and measurement errors. The special case of a multi-OTR system in ATF2 is being studied in much detail. The results of these studies will be very useful to better determine the location of the emittance measurement stations in the diagnostic sections of Future Linear Colliders.
