  Contemporary electron cloud models and simulations reproduce second order phase transitions, in which electron clouds grow smoothly beyond a threshold from "off" to "on". In contrast, some locations in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) exhibit first order phase transition behaviour, in which electron cloud related outgassing rates turn "on" or "off" precipitously. This paper presents a global framework with a high level of abstraction in which additional physics can be introduced in order to reproduce first (and second) order phase transitions. It does so by introducing maps that model the bunch-to-bunch evolution of coupled electron and ion clouds. This results in simulations that run several orders of magnitude faster, reproduce first order phase transitions, and show hysteresis effects. Coupled maps also suggest that additional dynamical phases (like period doubling, or chaos) could be observed.

  The evolution of the electron density during multibunch electron cloud formation can often be reproduced using a bunch-to-bunch iterative map formalism. The coefficients that parameterize the map function are readily obtained by fitting to results from compute-intensive electron cloud simulations. This paper derives an analytic expression for the linear map coefficient that governs weak cloud behaviour from first principles. Good agreement is found when analytical results are compared with linear coefficient values obtained from numerical simulations. This analysis is useful in predicting thresholds beyond which electron cloud formation occurs, and thus in determining safety regions in parameter space where an accelerator can be operated without creating electron clouds. The formalism explicitly shows that the multipacting resonance condition is not a sine qua non for electron cloud formation.

  The LHC aperture imposes a tight tolerance of 20% on the maximum acceptable beta-beat in the machine. An accurate knowledge of the transfer functions for the individually powered insertion quadrupoles and techniques to compensate beta-beat are key prerequisites for successful operation with high intensity beams. We perform realistic simulations to predict quadrupole errors in LHC and explore possible ways of correction to minimize beta-beat below the 20% level.

  Rapid-cycling synchrotrons are used to accelerate high-intensity proton beams to energies of tens of GeV for secondary beam production. After primary beam collision with a target, the secondary beam can be collected, cooled, accelerated or decelerated by ancillary synchrotrons for various applications. In this paper, we first present a lattice for the main synchrotron. This lattice has: a) flexible momentum compaction to avoid transition and to facilitate RF gymnastics b) long straight sections for low-loss injection, extraction, and high-efficiency collimation c) dispersion-free straights to avoid longitudinal-transverse coupling, and d) momentum cleaning at locations of large dispersion with missing dipoles. Then, we present a lattice for a cooler ring for the secondary beam. The momentum compaction across half of this ring is near zero, while for the other half it is normal. Thus, bad mixing is minimized while good mixing is maintained for stochastic beam cooling.
