MOBC1 | Towards Ultra-Low β* in ATF2 | 38 |
|
||
The Accelerator Test Facility 2 (ATF2) has already demonstrated the feasibility of Final Focus Systems based on the local chromaticity correction scheme and its focusing capabilities by reaching a vertical beam size at the virtual Interaction Point (IP) of less than 50 nm. The value of the chromaticity in ATF2 is comparable with the expected chromaticity in ILC, but 4 times lower than in a design of CLIC. ATF2 gives the unique possibility to test operation at CLIC chromaticity values by reducing the vertical beta function at the IP by a factor of 4 (the inverse proportionality of chromaticity with beta function value at IP is assumed). The experience collected in this way would be beneficial for both ILC and CLIC projects. Simulations show that the multipolar errors and Final Doublet fringe fields spoil the IP beam sizes at ATF2. Either increasing a value of the horizontal beta function or installing a pair of octupole magnets mitigate the impact of these aberrations. This paper summarizes the studies towards the realization of the ultra-low β* optics in ATF2 and reports on the progress of the construction of the octupoles. | ||

MOPJE065 | Contribution of Optical Aberrations to Spot-size Increase with Bunch Intensity at ATF2 | 455 |
|
||
A primary goal of ATF2 (Accelerator Test Facility) is to demonstrate a low vertical beam size at the interaction point (IP) of about 37 nm. Measurements over the past years indicate that the ATF2 vertical beam size strongly rises with bunch intensity. Several different origins of this increase are considered, e.g. wakefields occurring between the ATF damping ring and the IP, and/or intrabeam scattering (IBS) causing the increase of transverse emittances and energy spread in the damping ring with the increase of the bunch intensity. In this paper we address the second possibility. Past measurements and simulations of the IBS effects in the ATF are used to model the intensity-dependent initial emittances and energy spread at the entrance of the final focus. Particle tracking simulations predict the IP vertical beam size growth expected from the known optical aberrations for initial beam parameters corresponding to varying bunch intensities. Comparing simulation results with emittance measurements at different locations allows us to draw some conclusions about the impact of IBS in the damping ring on the IP spot size, and about possible single-bunch wakefields in the ATF2. | ||

MOPHA003 | Status of ATF2 IP-BPM Project | 777 |
|
||
The efforts during the second half of 2014 towards nano-metric beam position measurement and stabilization at the Interaction Point (IP) section of the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at KEK are presented. Recent improvements to the beam position monitor (BPM) data analysis and processing electronics, as well as the installation of a new set of C-Band BPMs, are reviewed. | ||

TUPTY019 | Realistic Beam Halo Model study in the Extraction Line of ATF2 | 2038 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by IDC-20101074, FPA2013-47883-C2-1-P and ANR-11-IDEX-0003-02 The understanding and control of the transverse beam halo distributions is an important issue to reduce sources of background noise in Future Linear Colliders (FLC) and specifically at ATF2. A realistic model of the beam halo in the old extraction line of the ATF damping ring was obtained in 2005, based on wire scanner measurements. Recently, new measurements were done in the new extraction line of ATF2, using both wire scanners, in 2013, and Optical Transition Radiation monitors (OTR), in 2014. The beam halo propagation through the ATF2 beamline by means of tracking simulations has been investigated using as input a purely Gaussian and uniform beam halo model. |

WEPMN059 | Design Study and Construction of a Transverse Beam Halo Collimation System for ATF2 | 3062 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by IDC-20121074, FPA2013-47883-C2-1-P and ANR-11-IDEX-0003-02 The feasibility and efficiency of a transverse beam halo collimation system for reducing the background in the ATF2 beamline has been studied in simulations. In this paper the design and construction of a retractable transverse beam halo collimator device is presented. The wakefield induced-impact of a realistic mechanical prototype has been studied with CST PS, as well as the wakefield beam dynamics impact by using the tracking code PLACET. |
