MOXACH01 | Worldwide Perspectives in Accelerators and the Rôle of CERN | collider, proton, linear-collider, factory | 1 | ||||||
|
After an analysis of the most probable medium and long-term evolution of Particle Accelerators and their worldwide perspectives, the presentation focuses on the specific role of CERN. It emphasizes CERNs mandate as defined by its convention, which is not only to build and operate the laboratory as a centre of excellence but to organize and steer particle physics in Europe. It should be the place where a coherent strategy for the whole field of European Particle Physics is discussed and elaborated in the best interest of the whole community. CERN should act as the driving force in the centre of a network of multilateral collaborating institutes where each laboratory brings its own contribution towards a common goal in a coordinated way following its specific skills and resources. It should favour mutual exchanges and collaborations to enable developments covering the whole range of CERN's activities from pure physics to accelerator and detector R&D. This is a necessary condition not only to make the LHC a success as the highest priority during the next few years, but also for Europe to continue its leading role in the quest to push further the high energy frontier in the future. That will require even more challenging and more complex facilities which will only be possible if built as unique and complementary in world-wide collaborations.

MOXBCH01 | Industrial Technology for Unprecendented Energy and Luminosity: the Large Hadron Collider | superconducting-magnet, dipole, collider, cryogenics | 6 | ||||||
|
With over 2.7 billion Swiss francs procurement contracts under execution in industry and the installation of major technical systems proceeding in its first 3.3 km sector, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) construction is now in full swing at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The LHC is not only the most challenging particle accelerator under construction, it is also the largest global project ever for a scientific instrument based on advanced technology. Starting from accelerator performance requirements, we recall how these can be met by an appropriate combination of technologies, such as high-field superconducting magnets, superfluid helium cryogenics, beam and insulation vacuum or power electronics, with particular emphasis on the developments required to meet demanding specifications, and the industrialization issues which had to be solved for achieving series production of precision components under tight quality assurance and within limited resources. This provides the opportunity for reviewing the production status of the different systems and the progress of the project.

High energy electron-positron Linear Collider designs based on room temperature and superconducting technologies have been developed and are currently under consideration by the International Technology Recommendation Panel. This paper will review the requirements and state of development of technologies required to support a linear collider meeting the performance goals outlined by the world high energy physics community. In addition it will summarize the cold/warm comparative study completed in the U.S. with particular emphasis on unique aspects related to availability and risk analysis.

MOZCH02 | Start to End Simulations of Low Emittance Tuning and Stabilization | simulation, collider, linear-collider, linac | 31 | ||||||
|
The principal beam dynamics challenge to the subsystems between the damping ring and the collision point of future linear colliders is expected to be the tuning and stabilization required to preserve the transverse emittance and to collide nanometer-scale beams. Recent efforts have focused on realistically modelling the operation and tuning of this region, dubbed the Low Emittance Transport (LET). We report on the development of simulation codes which permit integrated simulation of this complex region, and on early results of these simulations. Future directions of LET simulation are also revealed.

MOPKF082 | A Multi-bunch, Three-dimensional, Strong-strong Beam-beam Simulation Code for Parallel Computers | simulation, single-bunch, beam-beam-effects, target | 509 | ||||||
|
We have developed a parallel simulation code allowing the self-consistent, three-dimensional simulation of the strong-strong beam-beam effect, using a particle-on-mesh technique and fast elliptic solvers. It is able to operate with sufficiently high logitudinal resolution to treat phase-averaging and hourglass effects in the interaction point (IP) correctly. This code has been generalized to handle the collisions of an arbitrary set of bunches at arbitrary positions in the ring (parasitic crossings), using appropriately reduced longitudinal resolution of collisions not in the design IP. We provide benchmarking results and parameter studies based on PEP-II.

MOPLT020 | Limits to the Performance of the LHC with Ion Beams | ion, emittance, damping, radiation | 578 | ||||||
|
The performance of the LHC as a heavy-ion collider will be limited by a diverse range of phenomena that are often qualitatively different from those limiting the performance with protons. We summarise the latest understanding and results concerning the consequences of nuclear electromagnetic processes in lead ion collisions, the interactions of ions with the residual gas and the effects of lost ions on the beam environment and vacuum. Besides these limitations on beam intensity, lifetime and luminosity, performance will be governed by the evolution of the beam emittances under the influences of synchrotron radiation damping, intra-beam scattering, RF noise and multiple scattering on residual gas. These effects constrain beam parameters in the LHC ring throughout the operational cycle with lead ions.

MOPLT030 | Performance Limits and IR Design of a Possible LHC Luminosity Upgrade Based on Nb-Ti SC Magnet Technology | quadrupole, radiation, insertion, superconducting-magnet | 608 | ||||||
|
We investigate the maximum LHC performance for a possible IR design based on classical Nb-Ti insertion magnets. We then extend our analysis to a ternary Nb-based ductile alloy such as Nb-Ti-Ta, a less developed but relatively cheap super-conducting material which would allow us to gain about 1 T of peak field on the coils, and discuss the corresponding luminosity reach for a possible LHC upgrade compared to that based on Nb3Sn magnet technology.

MOPLT039 | QCD Explorer Based on LHC and CLIC-1 | proton, electron, emittance, simulation | 632 | ||||||

Colliding 7-TeV LHC super-bunches with 75-GeV CLIC bunch trains can provide electron-proton collisions at very high centre-of-mass energies, opening up a new window into QCD. At the same time, this QCD explorer would employ several key components required for both an LHC upgrade and CLIC. We here present a possible parameter set of such a machine, study the consequences of the collision for both beams, and estimate the attainable luminosity.

MOPLT044 | Longitudinal Positron Polarisation in HERA-II | optics, collider, proton, quadrupole | 644 | ||||||
|
Following the installation of two more pairs of spin rotators in the course of the HERA Luminosity Upgrade, longitudinal positron spin polarisation has now been generated simultaneously at all three positron(electron) interaction points in HERA at the routine energy of 27.5 GeV. The maximum attained so far is 54 percent. The theoretical maximum for this configuration and in the presence of realistic errors is 57.0 percent. This is the first time in the history of high energy electron storage ring physics that the naturally occurring vertical polarisation has been, with the aid of spin rotators, converted to longitudinal polarisation at three interaction points simultaneously. We describe the measures needed to attain polarisation in light of the HERA Upgrade and the resulting recent performance.

MOPLT049 | A Very High-beta Optics to be used for an Absolute Luminosity Determination with Forward Detectors in ATLAS | optics, scattering, injection, emittance | 659 | ||||||

Atlas detector at the LHC pursues a number of different approaches to obtain an estimate of the absolute luminosity. Measuring elastic scattering at very small angles (3 mu rad) represents a different and complimentary approach that will improve the precision of the final luminosity estimate. In this paper we show the required very hihg-beta optics, detector acceptance studies, and running conditions and calculated performance for the proposed forward detectors located near the ATLAS interaction region.

MOPLT051 | Experimental Characterization of PEP-II Luminosity and Beam-beam Performance | simulation, beam-losses, betatron, background | 665 | ||||||
|
The beam-beam performance of the PEP-II B-Factory has been studied by simultaneously measuring the instantaneous luminosity, the horizontal and vertical e+ and e- beam sizes in the two rings, and the spatial extent of the luminous region as extracted from BaBar dilepton data. These quantities, as well as ring tunes, beam lifetimes and other collider parameters are recorded regularly as a function of the two beam currents, both parasitically during routine physics running and in a few dedicated accelerator physics experiments. They are used to quantify, project, and ultimately improve the PEP-II performance in terms of achieved beam-beam parameters, dynamic-beta enhancement, and current-dependence of the specific luminosity.

Analytical formulae for the beam lifetime limited by the combined effects of beam-beam interactions at interaction point and at parasitic crossings are derived, and applied to the by-2 colliding mode of PEP-II low energy ring.

MOPLT056 | Feasibility Study for a Very High Luminosity Phi-factory | focusing, lattice, betatron, radiation | 680 | ||||||
|
Particle factories are facing their future by looking at the possibility of upgrading the luminosity by orders of magnitude. The upgrade challenges are more stringent at lower energies. Double symmetric rings, enhanced radiation damping, negative momentum compaction and very short bunches at the collision point are the main features of a phi-factory feasibility study presented in this paper. The bunch length of few millimeters at the crossing point of the beams is obtained by applying the Strong RF Focusing principle which provides a modulation of the bunch length along the ring by means of a large momentum compaction factor together with a very high RF gradient. The collider design fits the existing DAFNE infrastructures with completely rebuilt rings and upgraded injection system.

MOPLT057 | Proposal of a Strong RF Focusing Experiment at DAFNE | lattice, focusing, synchrotron, dipole | 683 | ||||||
|
The strong RF focusing is a recently proposed technique to obtain short bunches at the interaction point in the next generation colliders. A large momentum compaction factor together with a very high RF gradient across the bunch provide a modulation of the bunch length along the ring, which can be minimized at the Interaction Point (IP). No storage ring has been so far operated in such a regime, since it requires uncommonly high synchrotron tune values. In this paper we present the proposal of creating the experimental conditions to study the strong RF focusing in DAFNE. The proposed machine lattice providing the required high momentum compaction value, the upgrade of the RF system including the installation of a multi-cell superconducting cavity, the upgrade of the cryogenic plant and a list of the possible beam experiments are illustrated and discussed.

MOPLT091 | Accelerator Physics Issues of the VEPP-4M at Low Energy | electron, polarization, wiggler, diagnostics | 749 | ||||||
|
The VEPP-4M electron-positron collider is being prepared for a new high-energy physics run in the 1.5 - 2.0 GeV energy range. During the first run (2001-2002), precision mass measurements of the J/psi and psi' mesons using the KEDR detector have been carried out with a record accuracy. To provide high performance, efforts for investigation and further development of the machine have been done. The most important results are described. A record absolute accuracy of energy measurement was achieved using the resonant depolarization method. A possibility to use this method for the absolute energy calibration in tau-lepton mass measurements is studied. For the first time, the Moeller polarimeter based on an internal polarized gas jet target has been developed and successfully used at the VEPP-3 booster storage ring. A system of energy measurement using Compton back-scattering has been put into operation. To increase the machine luminosity, operation with dipole wigglers is studied, and a project of turn-by-turn feedback system to suppress beam instabilities has been started. For beam diagnostics, a multi-anode photomultiplier tube and a white light coronograph were installed. The VEPP-4M operation experience with the longitudinal magnetic field within the KEDR detector is also described.

MOPLT108 | TESLA Linac-IP Simulations | feedback, simulation, ground-motion, linac | 788 | ||||||

We have formulated integrated simulations of the transport of the electron and positron bunches in the Linear Collider from the linac entrance through the beam delivery system and the interaction region, taking wakefield effects into account. We have set up the simulations to run on the 64-cpu prototpye Grid cluster at QMUL and generated results for various sets of input parameters for the TESLA and NLC machines. For TESLA we have evaluated the distortion of the phase-space of the bunches at the interaction point due to wakefields. We have calculated the luminosity degradation and the production of photons and e+e- pairs. We have simulated the performance of the intra-train beam feedback systems based on bunch position, angle and luminosity measures, and have evauated the luminosity recovery potential of these systems for TESLA and NLC.

MOPLT120 | Proposals for Improvements of the Correction of Sextupole Dynamic Effects in the Tevatron Dipole Magnets | injection, dipole, sextupole, collider | 818 | ||||||
|
It is well known that the sextupole (b2) components in the superconducting dipole magnets decay during the injection plateau and snap back rapidly at the start of the ramp to flat top current. These so-called dynamic effects were originally discovered in the Tevatron. They are compensated for by the chromaticity correctors distributed around the ring. Imperfect control of the chromaticity during the snapback can contribute to beam loss and emittance growth. A thorough investigation of the chromaticity correction in the Tevatron was launched in the context of Run II, including beam chromaticity measurements and extensive magnetic measurements on a series of spare Tevatron dipole magnets. The study has yielded new information about the effect of the powering history on the dynamic b2. A companion paper at this conference describes in detail the results of these magnetic measurements [reference to George Velev's paper]. Study findings have given directive to new proposals for improvement of the b2 snapback correction in the Tevatron, including a revised functional form for the snapback algorithm and the elimination of the beam-less pre-cycle. This paper reports the results of beam studies performed recently to test these improved procedures.

MOPLT127 | Diagnosing the PEP-II Injection System | injection, kicker, septum, background | 833 | ||||||
|
The injection of beam into the PEP-II B-Factory, especially into the High Energy Ring (HER) has some challenges. A high background level in the BaBar Detector has so far inhibited us from trickling charge into the HER similar to the Low Energy Ring (LER). Analyzing the injection system has revealed many issues which could be improved. The injection bump between two kickers was not closed, mainly because the phase advance wasn't exactly 180 degrees and the two kicker strengths were not balanced. Additionally we found reflections which kick the stored beam after the main kick and cause the average luminosity to drop about 3% for a 10 Hz injection rate. The strength of the overall kick is nearly twice as high than the design, indicating a much bigger effective septum thickness. Compared with single beam the background is worse when the HER beam is colliding with the LER beam. This hints that the beam-beam force and the observed vertical blow-up in the HER pushes the beam and especially the injected beam further out to the edge of the dynamic aperture or beyond.

MOPLT128 | Lattice Effects due to High Currents in PEP-II | sextupole, emittance, synchrotron, photon | 836 | ||||||
|
The very high beam currents in the PEP-II B-Factory have caused many expected and unexpected effects: Synchrotron light fans move the beam pipe and cause dispersion, higher order modes cause excessive heating, e-clouds around the positron beam blow up its beam size. Here we describe an effect were the measured dispersion of the beam in the Low Energy Ring (LER) is different at high and at low beam currents. The dispersion was iteratively lowered by making anti-symmetric orbit bumps in many sextupole duplets, checking each time with a dispersion measurement where a dispersive kick is generated. This can be done parasitically during collisions. It was a surprise when checking the low current characterization data that there is a change. Subsequent high and low current measurements confirmed the effect. It is located far away from any synchrotron radiation in the middle of a straight (PR12), away from sextupoles and skew quadrupoles and creates a dispersion wave of about 70 mm at high current while at low current it is negligible.

MOPLT129 | Identifying Lattice, Orbit, and BPM Errors in PEP-II | betatron, coupling, emittance, lattice | 839 | ||||||
|
The PEP-II B-Factory is delivering peak luminosities of up to7.4·1033 1/cm2 1/s. This is very impressive especially considering our poor understanding of the lattice, absolute orbit and beam position monitor system (BPM). A few simple MATLAB programs were written to get lattice information, like betatron functions in a coupled machine (four all together) and the two dispersions, from the current machine and compare it the design. Big orbit deviations in the Low Energy Ring (LER) could be explained not by bad BPMs (only 3), but by many strong correctors (one corrector to fix four BPMs on average). Additionally these programs helped to uncover a sign error in the third order correction of the BPM system. Further analysis of the current information of the BPMs (sum of all buttons) indicates that there might be still more problematic BPMs.

MOPLT130 | Bunch Pattern with More Bunches in PEP-II | injection, electron, beam-losses, positron | 842 | ||||||
|
The number of bunches in the PEP-II B-Factory has increased over the years. The luminosity followed roughly linear that increase or even faster since we also lowered the spot size at the interaction point. The recent steps from 933 in June of 2003 to about 1320 in February 2004 should have been followed by a similar rise in luminosity from 6.5·1033 1/cm2 1/s to 9.2·1033 1/cm2 1/s. This didn?t happen so far and a peak luminosity of only 7.3·1033 1/cm2 1/s was achieved. By filling the then partially filled by-3 pattern to a completely filled by-3 pattern (1133 bunches) should even give 7.9·1033 1/cm2 1/s with scaled currents of 1400 mA (HER) and 1900 mA (LER). We are typically running about 1300 mA and 1900 mA with 15% more bunches. The bunch pattern is typically by-2 with trains of 14 bunches out of 18. The parasitic beam crossings or electron cloud effects might play a role in about a 10% luminosity loss. Also the LER x-tune could be pushed further down to the ? integer in the by-3 pattern. On the other hand we might not push the beam-beam tune shift as hard as in June of 2003 since we started trickle injection and therefore might avoid the highest peak luminosity with a higher background. A mixed pattern with a by2-by3 setup (separation of 2, 3, 2, 3 ?) would give totally filled a slightly higher number of bunches (1360), but near the interaction point there would be only one parasitic crossing per beam lowering the tune shift by two.

MOPLT136 | Reliability Simulations for a Linear Collider | simulation, collider, linear-collider, positron | 857 | ||||||
|
A new flexible tool for evaluating accelerator reliability was developed as part of the US Linear Collider Technology Comparison Study. The linear collider designs considered were based on the GLC/NLC X-band and TESLA Superconducting proposals, but modified to meet the US physics requirements. To better model some of the complexities of actual operation, a simulation program was written, which included details such as partial fixes or workarounds, hot-swappable repairs, multiple simultaneous repairs, cooldown periods before access, staged recovery from an outage, and both opportunistic and scheduled machine development. The main linacs and damping rings were modeled in detail with component counts taken from the designs, and using MTBFs and MTTRs from existing accelerator experience. Other regions were assigned a nominal overall failure rate. Variants such as a single tunnel or conventional positron source were also evaluated, and estimates made of the sensitivity to recovery or repair times. While neither design was predicted to be sufficiently reliable given present experience, the required improvements were estimated to increase the overall project cost by only a few percent.

We present the latest design and layout of the NLC Beam Delivery System (BDS) for the first and second interaction region (IR). This includes the beam switchyard, skew correction and emittance diagnostics section, collimation system integrated with the final focus, the primary and post linac tune-up beam dumps, and arcs of the second interaction region beamline. The layout and optics are optimized to deliver the design luminosity in the entire energy range from 90GeV to 1.3TeV CM, with the first IR BDS also having the capabilities for multi-TeV extension.

MOPLT138 | Vibrational Stability of GLC/NLC Linear Collider: Status and R&D Plans | site, simulation, ground-motion, collider | 863 | ||||||

Luminosity stability of the X-band linear collider will be provided by beam-based train by train steering feedbacks in the linac and at the IP, optional active stabilization of the final doublet, being developed to counteract possible excessive vibration of the detector, and optional fast intratrain feedback that would allow delivering major part of the luminosity while other systems are being commissioned. Control and reduction of the beam jitter originating from vibration of collider components is part of our strategy described in this paper.

MOPLT139 | Beam-based Alignment and Beta Function Measurements in PEP-II | quadrupole, closed-orbit, simulation, sextupole | 866 | ||||||
|
Careful optics studies and stringent lattice control have been identified as two key components to increasing PEP-II luminosity. An accurate, trusted BPM system is required for both of these strategies. To validate the existing BPM system and to better understand some optical anomalies in the PEP-II rings, an aggressive program of beam-based alignment (BBA) has been initiated. Using a quad-shunt BBA procedure in which a quadrupole?s field strength is varied over a range of beam positions, relative offsets are determined by the BPM readings at which quadrupole field changes no longer induce a closed orbit shift. This procedure was verified in the HER and is well underway in the LER IR. We have found many surprisingly large BPM offsets, some over one centimeter, as well as a number of locations where the current nominal orbit is several millimeters from the quadrupole center. Tune versus quadrupole field data were taken during the BBA process in the LER IR, and the non-linear response in each case is compared to simulation to infer local beta functions.

MOPLT141 | IR Upgrade Plans for the PEP-II B-Factory | interaction-region, beam-beam-effects, dipole, permanent-magnet | 869 | ||||||
|
PEP-II, the SLAC, LBNL, LLNL B-factory has achieved a peak luminosity of over 7e33, more than twice the design luminosity, and plans to obtain a luminosity of over 1·1034 in the next year. In order to push the luminosity performance of PEP-II to even higher levels an upgrade to the interaction region is being designed. In the present design, the interaction point is a head-on collision with two strong horizontal dipole magnets (B1) located between 20-70 cm from the IP that bring the beams together and separate the beams after the collision. The first parasitic crossing (PC) is at 63 cm from the IP in the present by2 bunch spacing. The B1 magnets supply all of the beam separation under the present design. Future improvements to PEP-II performance include lowering the beta y * values of both rings. This will increase the beta y value at the PCs which increases the beam-beam effect at these non-colliding crossings. Introducing a horizontal crossing angle at the IP quickly increases the beam separation at the PCs but recent beam-beam studies indicate a significant luminosity reduction occurs when a crossing angle is introduced at the IP. We will discuss these issues and describe the present interaction region upgrade design.

MOPLT143 | Results and Plans of the PEP-II B-Factory | injection, positron, beam-beam-effects, electron | 875 | ||||||
|
PEP-II is an e+e- B-Factory Collider located at SLAC operating at the Upsilon 4S resonance. PEP-II has delivered, over the past four years, an integrated luminosity to the BaBar detector of over 175 fb-1 and has reached a luminosity over 7.4x1033/cm2/s. Steady progress is being made in reaching higher luminosity. The goal over the next few years is to reach a luminosity of at least 2x1034/cm2/s. The accelerator physics issues being addressed in PEP-II to reach this goal include the electron cloud instability, beam-beam effects, parasitic beam-beam effects, trickle injection, high RF beam loading, lower beta y*, interaction region operation, and coupling control.

The accelerator physics issues associated with this design are reviewed as well as the site and power constraints. Near term future studies will be discussed.

MOPLT146 | Trickle-charge: a New Operational Mode for PEP-II | injection, background, diagnostics, feedback | 881 | ||||||
|
In regular top-up-and-coast operation, PEP-II average luminosity is about 70
75% of the peak luminosity due to detector ramp-down and ramp-up times plus the time it takes to top-up both beams. We recently commissioned a new operational mode where the Low Energy Ring is injected continuously without ramping down the detector. The benefits?increased luminosity lifetime and roughly half the number of top-ups per shift?were expected to give an increase in delivered luminosity of about 15% at the same peak luminosity; this was confirmed in test runs. In routine trickle operation, however, it appears that the increase in delivered luminosity is more than twice that due to an increase in availability credited to the more stable operating conditions during trickle operation. In this paper we will present our operational experience as well as some of the diagnostics we use to monitor and maintain tuning of the machine in order to control injection background and protect the detector. Test runs are planned to extend trickle-charge operation to the High Energy Ring as well.

Over the past year, a baseline design of the electron ring for the eRHIC hadron-lepton collider has been developed.This site-specific design is based on the understanding of the existing RHIC machine performance and its possible upgrades.The design includes a full energy polarized electron beam injector to ensure operational reliability and to provide high integrated luminosity.The electron ring energy range is 5 to 10 GeV.The electron beam emittance, the electron beam path length and the interaction region optics have to be adjusted over a wide range to match the hadron beam of various species and variable energies.We describe the expected machine perfomance, the interaction region and the lattice design. We also discuss the possible approaches leading to the 1033 cm-2s-1 luminosity for the collisions between 10 GeV polarized electron beam and 250 GeV polarized proton beam.

MOPLT153 | Electron-Ion Collider at CEBAF: New Insights and Conceptual Progress | ion, electron, collider, proton | 893 | ||||||

We report on progress in conceptual development of the proposed high luminosity (up to 1035/cm2s) and efficient spin manipulation (using figure 8 boosters and collider rings) Electron-Ion Collider at CEBAF based on use of polarized 5-7 GeV electrons in superconduction energy recovering linac (ERL with circulator ring, kicker-operated) and 30-150 GeV ion storage ring (polarized p, d. He3, Li and unpolarized nuclei up to Ar, all totally stripped). Ultra-high luminosity is envisioned to be achievable with short ion bunches and crab-crossing at 1.5 GHz bunch collision rate interaction points. Our recent studies concentrated on simulation of beam-beam interaction, preventing the electron cloud instability, calculating luminosity lifetime due to Touschek effect in ion beam and background scattering of ions, experiments on energy recovery at CEBAF, and other. These studies have been incorporated in the development of the luminosity calculator and in formulating minimum requirements to the polarized electron and ion sources

MOPLT155 | Study of Beam-beam Effects at PEP-II | simulation, damping, positron, coupling | 896 | ||||||
|
Using a self-consistent, three-dimensional simulation program running on parallel supercomputers, we have simulated the beam-beam interaction at the PEP II asymmetric e+e- collider. In order to provide guidance to luminosity improvement in PEP-II, we have scanned the tunes and other machine parameters in both rings, and computed their impact on the luminosity and particle loss. Whenever possible, the code has been benchmarked against experimental measurements, at various beam currents, of luminosity and luminous-region size using the BaBar detector. These studies suggest that three-dimensional effects such as bunch lengthening may be important to understand a steep drop of luminosity near the peak currents.

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has improved its luminosity performance significantly in the course of the first three physics runs. A number of special techniques for the operation of the rf systems have been developed to facilitate these improvements. Herein we describe these techniques, which include: an ultra low-noise rf source for the 197 MHz storage cavities; synchronization of the two rings during acceleration (including crossing the transition energy) to avoid spurious collisions on the ramp, which modulate the beam-beam tune shift; a frequency shift switch-on technique for transferring bunches from the acceleration to the storage rf systems; installation of dedicated 200 MHz cavities to provide longitudinal Landau damping on the ramp, and automated corrections to longitudinal injection parameters to minimize emittance growth.

MOPLT163 | Luminosity Optimization Using Automated IR Steering at RHIC | background, feedback, coupling, electron | 911 | ||||||
|
The goal of the RHIC 2004 Au-Au run was to maximize the achieved integrated luminosity. One way is to increase beam currents and minimize beam transverse emittances. Another important ingredient is the minimization of time spent on activities postponing the declaration of 'physics conditions', i.e. stable beam conditions allowing the experimental detectors to take data. Since collision rates are particularly high in the beginning of the store the integrated luminosity benefits considerably from any minute saved early in the store. In the RHIC run 2004 a new IR steering application uses luminosity monitor signals as a feedback for a fully automated steering procedure. This report gives an overview of the used procedure and summarizes the achieved results.

MOPLT165 | Luminosity Increases in Gold-gold Operation in RHIC | vacuum, power-supply, background, electron | 917 | ||||||
|
After an exploratory phase, during which a number of beam parameters were varied, the RHIC experiments now demand high luminosity to study heavy ion collisions in detail. Presently RHIC operates routinely above its design luminosity. In the first 4 weeks of its current operating period (Run-4) the machine has delivered more integrated luminosity that during the 14 weeks of the last gold-gold operating period (Run-2). We give an overview of the changes that increased the instantaneous luminosity and luminosity lifetime, raised the reliability, and improved the operational efficiency.

MOPLT170 | eRHIC, Future Electron-ion Collider at BNL | electron, ion, linac, proton | 923 | ||||||
|
The paper reviews the progress made lately in the design of eRHIC, proposed future electron-ion collider on the basis of the existing RHIC machine. The eRHIC aims to provide collisions of electrons and positrons on ions and protons in center mass energy range of 25-70 GeV. The goal luminosities are in 1032-1033 1/(s*cm2) values for e-p and in 1030-1031 1/(s*cm2) values for e-Au collisions. An essential design requirement is to provide longitudinally polarized beams of electrons and protons (and, possibly lighter ions) at the collision point. The eRHIC ZDR has been recently developed which considers various aspects of the accelerator design. An electron accelerator, which delivers about 0.5A polarized electron beam current in the electron energy range of 5 to 10 GeV, should be constructed at the BNL near existing ion rings of the RHIC collider and should intersect an ion ring at least in one of the available ion ring interaction regions. In order to reach the luminosity goals some upgrades in ion rings also would be required. Ways to reach lower beam emmittances (electron cooling) and higher beam intensities have to be realized.

MOPLT177 | Stochastic Cooling Power Requirements | kicker, emittance, betatron, pick-up | 941 | ||||||
|
A practical obstacle for stochastic cooling in high-energy colliders is the large amount of power needed for the cooling system. This paper discusses the cooling power needed for the longitudinal cooling process. Based on the coasting-beam Fokker-Planck equation, we analytically derived the optimum cooling rate and cooling power for a beam of uniform distribution and a cooling system of linear gain function. The results indicate that the usual back-of-envelope formula over-estimated the cooling power by a factor of the mixing factor $M$. On the other hand, the scaling laws derived from the coasting-beam Fokker-Planck approach agree with those derived from the bunched-beam Fokker-Planck approach if the peak beam intensity is used as the effective coasting-beam intensity. A longitudinal stochastic cooling system of 4 8 GHz bandwidth in RHIC can effectively counteract intrabeam scattering, preventing the beam from escaping the RF bucket becoming debunched around the ring.

MOPLT178 | RHIC Pressure Rise | ion, electron, background, beam-losses | 944 | ||||||
|
Beam induced pressure rise remains an intensity limit at the RHIC for both heavy ion and polarized proton operations. The beam injection pressure rise at warm sections has been diagnosed due to electron cloud effect. In addition, pressure rise of heavy ion operation at the beam transition has caused experiment background problem in deuteron-gold run, and it is expected to take place in gold-gold run at high intensities. This type of pressure rise is related to beam momentum spread, and the electron cloud seems not dominant. Extensive approaches for both diagnosis and looking-for-remedies are undergoing in the current gold operation, RUN 4. Results of beam scrubbing, NEG pipe in RHIC ring, beam scraping test of ion desorption, beam momentum effect at the transition, beam gap effect, solenoid effect, and NEG pipe ion desorption test stand will be presented.

TUZBCH02 | Beam Dynamics Challenges for Future Circular Colliders | electron, emittance, simulation, proton | 83 | ||||||
|
The luminosity of circular colliders rises with the beam intensity, until some limit is encountered, mostly due to head-on and long-range beam-beam interaction, due to electron cloud, or due to conventional impedance sources. These limitations can be alleviated, if not overcome, by a proper choice of beam parameters and by dedicated compensation schemes. Examples include the alternating crossing at several interaction points, electromagnetic wires, super-bunches, electron lenses, clearing electrodes, and nonlinear collimation. I illustrate the benefit from such mitigating measures for the Tevatron, the LHC, the LHC Upgrade, the VLHC, the super e+e- factories, or other projects, and I describe related research efforts at FNAL, KEK, BNL and CERN.

TUXLH02 | HERA Performance Upgrade: Achievements and Plans for the Future | proton, lepton, interaction-region, resonance | 93 | ||||||
|
Having surpassed the design luminosity of 1.5 x 1031/cm2s already in 1997, an ambitious upgrade of the HERA proton-lepton collider was undertaken in 2000/2001 to provide both higher luminosity and longitudinally polarized lepton beams in the colliding beam experiments, H1 and ZEUS, and for the internal gas target experiment, HERMES. Routine operation following the upgrade has commenced. Initially experimental backgrounds limited the total beam currents so the number of colliding bunches was reduced while maintaining high single-bunch beam currents. With nominal, pre-upgrade, bunch currents the measured specific luminosity is 2.5 times higher than before, however about 15% smaller than design. Following modifications to alleviate the high backgrounds in 2003, HERA is now again operating with the design number of bunches and the total beam currents are being steadily increased. With only 40% of the total design current, peak luminosities of 2.5 x 1031/cm2s have been demonstrated with a longitudinal polarization of >40%. In this presentation the experiences from the upgrade commissioning will be reviewed. Plans for improvement and pronections for the future will be described.

TUXLH03 | RHIC Performance and Plans Towards Higher Luminosity and Higher Polarization | electron, proton, ion, polarization | 98 | ||||||
|
RHIC is the first hadron collider consisting of two independent rings. It is designed to operate over a wide range of beam energies and species, including polarized protons, heavy ions, and asymmetric beam collisions. RHIC has produced physics data at four experiments since 1999 in runs that include gold-on-gold collisions at design beam energy (100 GeV/u), high-energy polarized proton-proton collisions (100 GeV on 100 GeV), and deuteron-gold collisions (100 GeV/u). Recent machine performance will be reviewed for high-luminosity gold-gold operations and polarized proton operations, including causes and solutions for known operational limits. Plans and progress for luminosity and polarization improvements, electron cooling, and the electron-ion collider eRHIC will be discussed.

TUPKF062 | PEP-II RF System Operation and Performance | klystron, feedback, impedance, damping | 1087 | ||||||
|
The Low Energy Ring (LER) and High Energy Ring (HER) RF systems have operated now on PEP-II since July 1998 and have assisted in breaking all design luminosity records back in June 2002. Luminosity on PEP-II has steadily increased since then as a consequence of larger e+ and e- beam currents being accumulated. This has meant that the RF systems have inevitably been driven harder, not only to achieve these higher stored beam currents, but also to reliably keep the beams circulating whilst at the same time minimizing the number of aborts due to RF system faults. This paper details the current PEP-II RF system configurations for both rings, as well as future upgrade plans spanning the next 3-5 years. Limitations of the current RF system configurations are presented, highlighting improvement projects which will target specific areas within the RF systems to ensure that adequate operating overheads are maintained and reliable operation is assured.

TUPKF079 | A Low Noise RF Source for RHIC | beam-losses, instrumentation, acceleration, controls | 1123 | ||||||

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider requires a low noise rf source to ensure that beam lifetime during a store is not limited by the rf system. The beam is particularly sensitive to noise from power line harmonics. Additionally, the rf source must be flexible enough to handle the frequency jump required for rebucketing (transferring bunches from the acceleration to the storage rf systems). This paper will describe the design of a Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) based system that provides both the noise performance and the flexibility required.

TUPLT037 | Dispersion Correction in HERA | closed-orbit, polarization, positron, electron | 1228 | ||||||
|
The electron-proton collider HERA at the DESY laboratory in Hamburg has been in operation since 1991. After the luminosity upgrade of HERA in 2001 the control of the horizontal and vertical dispersion function of the positron beam became more important than before. Deviations from the design dispersion in the horizontal plane can change the emittance of the electron beam significantly thus leading to a reduction of the luminosity. For optimizing the polarization of the electron beam the reduction of vertical orbit and dispersion deviations is important. In this paper the combined dispersion and orbit correction in HERA is described and first results are reported.

TUPLT046 | Luminosity Considerations for Internal and External Experiments at COSY | target, injection, extraction, proton | 1255 | ||||||
|
The future physics program at the Cooler-Synchrotron COSY in Jülich requires intense beams to provide high luminosities up to 1032cm-2s-1 for internal and external experiments. In 2003 the number of unpolarized protons could significantly be increased up to the theoretical space charge limit of COSY. This was achieved by careful study and adjustment of all subsystems in the accelerator chain of COSY. The intensities for polarized proton beams are at best an order of magnitude lower compared to one for unpolarized beams, depending on the beam current provided the injector cyclotron. Still there is some potential for further enhancement of polarized beam intensities. In this paper, luminosity considerations for polarized and unpolarized beams at COSY are presented taking into account different machine cycles and operation modes for internal and external experimental set-ups.

TUPLT153 | Orbit Response Matrix Analysis Applied at PEP-II | lattice, coupling, interaction-region, sextupole | 1488 | ||||||
|
Beam-based techniques to study lattice properties have proven to be a very powerful tool to optimize the performance of storage rings. The analysis of orbit response matrices has been used very successfully to measure and correct the gradient and skew gradient distribution in many accelerators. The first applications were mostly in synchrotron light sources, but the technique is also used increasingly at colliders. It allows determination of an accurately calibrated model of the coupled machine lattice, which then can be used to calculate the corrections necessary to improve coupling, dynamic aperture and ultimately luminosity. At PEP-II, the Matlab version of LOCO has been used to analyze coupled response matrices for both the LER and the HER. The large number of elements in PEP-II and the very complicated interaction region present unique challenges to the data analysis. The orbit response matrix analysis will be presented in detail, as well as results of lattice corrections based on the calibrated machine model.

WEPKF073 | 2nd Generation LHC IR Quadrupoles Based on Nb3Sn Racetrack Coils | quadrupole, target, alignment, interaction-region | 1774 | ||||||
|
After the LHC operates for several years at nominal parameters, it will be necessary to upgrade it for higher luminosity. Replacing the baseline NbTi low-beta quadrupoles with a higher performance magnets based on advanced superconducting materials and magnet technologies is one of the most straightforward ways in this direction. Preliminary studies show that high-performance Nb3Sn strands to be available within the next few years allow increasing the quadrupole aperture up to 110 mm using a 4-layer shell-type coil and providing the same 200 T/m field gradient with 20% margin as the baseline magnets. It will allow reduction of b* by a factor of 3. An alternative approach to the quadrupole design is based on simple flat racetrack coils. This paper discusses the possibilities and limitations of large-aperture racetrack quadrupole designs and compares them to the shell-type magnets.

WEPKF080 | Secondary Electron Yield Measurements from Thin Surface Coatings for NLC Electron Cloud Reduction | electron, vacuum, damping, positron | 1789 | ||||||

In the beam pipe of the positron damping ring of the Next Linear Collider, electrons will be created by beam interaction with the surrounding vacuum chamber wall and give rise to an electron cloud. Several solutions are possible for avoiding the electron cloud, without changing the beam bunch structure or the diameter of the vacuum chamber. Some of the currently available solutions include reducing residual gas ionization by the beam, minimizing photon-induced electron production, and lowering the secondary electron yield (SEY) of the chamber wall. We will report on recent SEY measurements performed at SLAC on TiN coatings and TiZrV non-evaporable getter thin films.

WEPLT007 | Installation of the LHC Experimental Insertions | quadrupole, shielding, insertion, interaction-region | 1828 | ||||||

The installation of the LHC experimental insertions, and particularly the installation of the low-beta quadrupoles, raises many technical challenges due to the stringent alignment specifications and to the difficulty of access in very confined areas. The compact layout with many lattice elements, vacuum components, beam control instrumentations and the presence of shielding does not allow for any improvisation in the installation procedure. This paper reviews all the constraints that need to be taken into account when installing the experimental insertions. It describes the chronological sequence of installation and discusses the technical solutions that have been retained.

Long bunches with a uniform longitudinal line density held by barrier buckets are considered for a future luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). With such bunches, the luminosity is maximised for a fixed number of particles. Instead of conventional barrier buckets, periodic barriers are proposed. These are generated with multiple RF harmonics (e.g. multiples of 40 MHz). A possible scheme to create and hold long flat bunches in the LHC is described, and the resulting gain in luminosity is estimated.

WEPLT064 | 2-nd Order Sextupole Effects on the Dynamic Aperture in HERA-e | resonance, octupole, sextupole, optics | 1993 | ||||||

During the first year after the luminosity upgrade HERA-e was operated in a mode for which the accessible area in transverse tune space was determined by resonances driven by sextupoles in 2-nd order. It turned out that with typical total incoherent beam beam tune shifts (.05,.08) for 2 IPs this space was too small for stable operation. We have used 2-nd order canonical perturbation theory to analyze the impact of the increased sextupole strengths in the upgraded lattice on the relevant resonance strengths and the detuning. Moreover, we have studied whether it is possible to compensate the resonances with localized octupole schemes (6 or 9 independent magnets) to 1-st and 2-nd order, computed the resulting detuning and compared the results with 6D tracking.

WEPLT105 | Beam-Beam Effects Measured Using Gated Monitors at KEKB | emittance, positron, electron, betatron | 2095 | ||||||
|
KEKB is a multi-bunch, high-current, electron/positron collider for B meson physics. The two beams collide at one interaction point (IP) with a finite horizontal crossing angle and with a bunch-space of 6 to 8 ns. The luminosity of KEKB is the best in the world. The collision is performed by carefully adjusting a horizontal orbit bump of the electron beam at IP, which results in a horizontal offset to obtain the best luminosity. In order to investigate the asymmetric beam-beam effects, beam parameters of collision and non-collision bunches were compared using beam monitors capable of selecting a specific bunch in a bunch train. The beam-beam kick and the beam-beam tune-shift were obtained by the gated beam-position monitor and by the gated tune monitor. It was found that the horizontal offset was negligibly small in the case of a wide bunch-space of 48 ns. This result suggests that the horizontal offset is related to wake fields including electron-cloud effects.

A system of colliding two beams is strong nonlinear in multi-dimension. In such a system, a symplectic diffusion called Arnold diffusion occurs, with the result that the beams are enlarged and the luminosity is degraded in circular colliders. We discuss the diffusion seen in beam-beam inetraction at a circular accelerator, especially finite crossing angle and/or x-y coupling errors enhance the diffusion.

THOBCH01 | The Beijing Electron-positron Collider and its Second Phase Construction | synchrotron, synchrotron-radiation, vacuum, injection | 230 | ||||||

The Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPC) was constructed for both high energy physics and synchrotron radiation researches. As an e+ e- collider operating in the tau-charm region and a first synchrotron radiation source in China, the machine has been well operated for 14 years since it was put into operation in 1989. As a collider, the peak luminosity of the BEPC has reached its design goal of 5*1030 cm-2s-1 at J/sai energy of 1.55 GeV and 1*1031 cm-2s-1 at 2 GeV respectively. The main parameters in the dedicated synchrotron radiation operation are: E=2.2~2.5 GeV, ex0=80 mm mrad at 2.2 GeV, Ib=140 mA and the beam lifetime of 20~30 hours. As the second phase project of the BEPC, the BEPCII , has been approved with total budget of 640 million RMB. The construction is started in the beginning of 2004 and is scheduled to complete by the end of 2007. The BEPCII is a double ring machine with its luminosity goal of 1*1033 cm-2s-1 at 1.89 GeV, two orders of magnitude higher than present BEPC. The BEPCII will operate in the beam energy of 1-2.1 GeV so that its physical potential in the whole t and charm range is preserved, while the collider will be optimized at 1.89 GeV. The upgrading of the collider should also provide an improved SR performance with higher beam energy and intensity. The beam currents will be increased to 250 mA at E=2.5 GeV for the dedicated synchrotron radiation operation of the BEPCII. Some key technologies, such as superconducting RF system, low impedance vacuum devices, superconducting micro-beta quadrupoles and etc., has been intensively studied in order to achieve the target of the BEPCII.

DAFNE operation restarted in September 2003, after a six months shut-down for the installation of FINUDA, a magnetic detector dedicated to the study of hypernuclear Physics. FINUDA is the third experiment running, in sequence, at DAFNE and operates while keeping on place the other detector KLOE. During the shut-down both the Interaction Regions have been equipped with remotely controlled rotating quadrupoles in order to operate at different solenoid fields. Among many other hardware upgrades one of the most significant is the reshaping of the wiggler pole profile to improve the field quality and the machine dynamic aperture. Commissioning of the collider in the new configuration has been completed in short time. The peak luminosity delivered to FINUDA has reached 6 1031 s-1 cm-2, with a daily integrated value exceeding 3 pb-1.

THPLT008 | A Beam Condition Monitor for the Experimental Areas of the LHC | beam-losses, radiation, proton, monitoring | 2475 | ||||||
|
The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will store 2808 bunches per colliding beam, with each bunch consisting of 1·1011 protons at an energy of 7 TeV. If there is a failure in an element of the accelerator, the resulting beam losses could cause damage not only to the machine but also to the experiments. A Beam Condition Monitor (BCM) is foreseen to monitor fast increments of fluence rate near the interaction point and, if necessary, to generate an abort signal to the LHC accelerator control to dump the beams. The system is being developed initially for the CMS experiment, but is sufficiently general to find potential applications elsewhere. Due to its high radiation hardness, CVD diamond was chosen for investigation as the BCM sensor. Various samples of CVD diamond have been characterised extensively with both a Sr-90 source and in a high intensity testbeam in order to assess the capabilities of such sensors and to study whether this detector technology is suitable for a BCM system. A selection of results from these investigations is presented.

Successful operation of the HERA electron-proton collider requires maintaining stable orbits during the typically 12 hour luminosity runs, as well as during the fill and acceleration procedures. The primary sources of orbit errors for the electron ring are the interaction region magnets, whose support structures are integrated with the experimental detectors and susceptible to thermal and magnetic effects. The orbit correction algorithms are designed to correct these effects locally, while operating with somewhat reduced sensitivity on error sources in the rest of the ring. We describe the correction system and our operating experience.

THPLT156 | Simulations of IP Feedback and Stabilization in the NLC | feedback, simulation, site, ground-motion | 2825 | ||||||

Keeping nanometer-sized beams in collision is an essential component in achieving design luminosity in a linear collider. The NLC stabilization strategy is conservative by including enough redundancy so that if some piece doesn't work to specification or the incoming beam motion is worse than expected, the beams will still be kept in collision. We show simulation results with both realistic and pessimistic assumptions about the response of the ground motion, inertial stabilization, interbunch and intertrain feedback systems. By providing backup systems, and by assuming that some systems may perform more poorly than expected, we can achieve a high level of confidence in our ability to successfully stabilize the beams.

THPLT177 | Maps for Fast Electron Cloud Simulations at RHIC | electron, simulation, space-charge, proton | 2870 | ||||||

Luminosity in several colliders, including RHIC, is limited by the electron cloud effect. A careful re-distribution of the bunch pattern around the azimuth of a ring can decrease the average electron density for a fixed total bunch current, allowing the luminosity to be increased. In the search for a bunch pattern that maximizes the luminosity, a fast computer simulation is a key requirement. We discuss the use of fast polynomial maps to simulate the bunch to bunch evolution of the electron density at RHIC. Such maps are empirically derived from existing conventional slow simulation codes.
