	The Large Hadron Collider is designed to accommodate an unprecedented stored beam energy of 362~MJ in the nominal configuration and about the double in the high-luminosity upgrade HL-LHC that is presently under study. This requires an efficient collimation system to protect the superconducting magnets from quenches. During the design, it is therefore very important to accurately predict the expected beam loss distributions and cleaning efficiency. For this purpose, there are several ongoing efforts in improving the existing simulation tools or developing new ones. This paper gives a brief overview and status of the different available codes.

	FLUTE, a new linac-based test facility and THz source is currently being built at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in collaboration with DESY and PSI. It consists of an RF photo gun and a traveling wave linac accelerating electrons to beam energies of ~41 MeV in the charge range from a few pC up to 3 nC. The electron bunch will then be compressed in a magnetic chicane in the range of 1 - 300 fs, depending on the charge, in order to generate coherent THz radiation with high peak power. An overview of the simulation and hardware status is given in this contribution.

TUOBB01	Accelerator Physics Challenges towards a Plasma Accelerator with Usable Beam Quality	961
	R.W. Aßmann, J. Grebenyuk DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	Enormous progress in compact plasma accelerators has been demonstrated over the recent years in various experiments. These experiments rely on high power, pulsed lasers or short electron bunches to excite ultra-strong wakefields in plasmas. Accelerating gradients have reached several 10 GV/m up to 100 GV/m and the absolute energy gain of electron beams is in the regime of several GeV to 30 GeV. The principle and potential of plasma accelerators has been proven impressively and performance parameters are steadily improving. It is noted that particle accelerators are powerful tools that are ultimately justified by their applications in science, medicine or industry. The demonstration of useable beam quality and a realistic use case remains to be achieved for plasma accelerators. The accelerator physics challenges to arrive at this goal are analyzed and discussed.

TUPME047	SINBAD - A Proposal for a Dedicated Accelerator Research Facility at DESY	1466

	A new, dedicated accelerator research facility SINBAD (Short INnovative Bunches and Accelerators at DESY) is proposed. This facility is aimed at promoting two major goals: (1) Short electron bunches for ultra-fast science. (2) Construction of a plasma accelerator module with useable beam quality. Research and development on these topics is presently ongoing at various places at DESY, as add-on experiments at operational facilities. The two research goals are intimately connected: short bunches and precise femtosecond timing are requirements for developing a plasma accelerator module. The scientific case of a dedicated facility for accelerator research at DESY is discussed. Further options are mentioned, like the use of a 1 GeV beam from Linac2 for FEL studies and the setup of an attosecond radiation source with advanced technology. The presently planned conversion of the DORIS storage ring and its central halls into the SINBAD facility is described. The available space will allow setting up several independent experiments with a cost-effective use of the same infrastructure. National and international contributions and proposals can be envisaged.

TUPME064	Laser-driven Acceleration with External Injection at SINBAD	1515
	J. Grebenyuk, R.W. Aßmann, U. Dorda, B. Marchetti DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	One of the important milestones to make plasma acceleration a realistic technology for user-applications is demonstration of bunch acceleration inside a plasma wake with minimal degradation of its quality. This can be achieved by external injection of beams into a plasma accelerator. SINBAD is a proposed dedicated accelerator research and development facility at DESY where amongst other topics laser-driven wakefield acceleration with external injection of ultra-short bunches will be exploited. To minimise energy-spread growth the bunch should occupy a small fraction of the plasma wavelength. In addition it has to be longitudinally synchronised with the laser driver to high accuracy. To avoid emittance growth the beam Twiss parameters have to be matched to the intrinsic beta-function of the plasma. To facilitate matching and synchronisation, acceleration at low plasma densities can be advantageous. We present a preparatory feasibility study for future plasma experiments at SINBAD using simulations with the particle-in-cell code OSIRIS. Field-gradient scaling laws are presented together with parameter scans of externally injected bunch, such as its injection phase, charge and length.

THPME116	Studies on a Diagnostic Pulse for FLASH	3506
	F. Mayet, R.W. Aßmann, S. Schreiber, M. Vogt DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	The long-term stability of the beam optics at FLASH is crucial for all connected experiments and the operation of the new second beamline FLASH2. It is therefore desirable to have a simple procedure to monitor the beam optics routinely and at the same time minimally invasive. This way user operation is not disturbed. An automated procedure, which has been successfully employed at the SLAC linac is presented in the context of FLASH. The betatron oscillations of selectively kicked pulses are recorded using BPMs at a fixed time interval. An online algorithm is then used to extract the betatron phase advance, as well as potential growth of the betatron oscillation amplitude and the Twiss parameters beta and alpha. Using this method, the long-term beam optics stability can be monitored in order to identify potential sources of drifts.
