  The LHeC study aims at delivering an electron beam for collision with the LHC proton beam. The current baseline design consists of a multi-pass superconductive energy-recovery linac operating in a continuous wave mode. The high current beam (~100 mA) in the linacs excites long-range wake-fields between bunches of different turns, which induce instabilities and might cause beam losses. PLACET2, a novel version of the tracking code PLACET, capable to handle recirculation and time dependencies, has been employed to perform the first LHeC end-to-end tracking. The impact of long-range wake-fields, synchrotron radiation, and beam-beam effects has been assessed. The simulation results and recent improvements in the lattice design are presented and discussed in this paper.

  The CTF3 Combiner Ring (CR) is an isochronous ring that employs RF-injection to combine multiple bunch trains (up to five) into a single one with higher bunch frequency. The length of the CR plays a critical role in obtaining the correct structure of the recombined train. PLACET2: the new recirculating version of the code PLACET is particularly suited to simulate the operational scenario. In order to validate this code, three different case studies have been considered: ring-length variations due to energy detuning, fast-beam decoherence due to uncorrected chromatic effects and vertical instabilities due to bunch-to-bunch wakefield effects. The first two effects have been measured during the last run and the predictions have been validated. The instability has been compared with previous studies. The results are presented and discussed.

MOPJE068 PLACET2: A Novel Code for Beam Dynamics in Recirculating Machines 465

  Efforts have been taken to enable the simulation of recirculating machines in PLACET. The new version, PLACET2, allows handling multiple interconnected beamlines in order to obtain a realistic model of a machine. Two new elements, injectors and dumps, have been introduced and are active components of any working machine. Trains of bunches are routed through beamlines and tracked simultaneously in a parallel manner. Tracking through time-dependent elements is possible, and care is made to preserve the correct time-structure of the beam in case of beam recombination. This allows straightforward computations of multi-bunch effects arising with high-charge and shortly spaced bunch trains, even with variable train structure. The main features of the code are presented together with its working principles and its key ideas. Two case studies are introduced: LHeC and the CTF3 combiner ring.
