MOPC095	Mechanical and Thermal Prototype Testing for a Rotatable Collimator for the LHC Phase II Collimation Upgrade	286
	J. C. Smith, J. E. Doyle, L. Keller, S. A. Lundgren, T. W. Markiewicz SLAC, Menlo Park, California
	The Phase II upgrade to the LHC collimation systems calls for complementing the 30 high robust Phase I graphite collimators with 30 high Z, low impedance Phase II collimators. The design for the collimation upgrade has not been finalized. One option is to use metallic rotatable collimators and this design will be discussed here. The Phase II collimators must be robust in various operating conditions and accident scenarios. A series of prototype collimator jaws have been tested for both mechanical and thermal compliance with the design goals. Collimator jaw shape after thermal expansion benchtop tests were compared to ANSYS simulation results. Mechanical tests were also performed to demonstrate fabrication precision and collimator movement operation as designed.

	The Phase II upgrade to the LHC collimation systems calls for complementing the 30 high robust Phase I graphite collimators with 30 high Z, low impedance Phase II collimators. The design for the collimation upgrade has not been finalized. One option is to use metallic rotatable collimators and this design will be discussed here. The Phase II collimators must be robust in various operating conditions and accident scenarios. Design issues include: Collimator jaw deflection due to heating and sagita must be small when operated in the steady state condition, Collimator jaws must withstand transitory periods of high beam impaction with no permanent damage, Jaws must recover from accident scenario where up to 8 full intensity beam pulses impact on the jaw surface and The beam impedance contribution due to the collimators must be small to minimize coherent beam instabilities. The current design will be presented.
TUPC076	TTF HOM Data Analysis with Curve Fitting Method	1227

	To investigate the possibility of using HOM signal induced in SC cavities as beam and cavity diagnostics, experiments and analyses based on SVD have been done, which are very successful. In this paper, we described one new method based on curve fitting to analyze the HOM signal data, some results have been obtained. The new method can be used to extract the HOM mode frequency, Q and relative phase from the data. On the other hand, this method can also be used to find the HOM mode center, polarization axis, mode axis along the cavity, while careful handling of beam timing information need to be considered in analysis. Comparing with SVD, this method is more physical, and can also be used in the beam diagnostic data analysis to obtain the beam position and beam trajectory angle.
TUPP073	Bench-top Impedance Measurements for a Rotatable Copper Collimator for the LHC Phase II Collimation Upgrade	1703

	The Phase II upgrade to the LHC collimation system calls for complementing the 30 high robust Phase I graphite collimators with 30 high Z, low impedance Phase II collimators. The design for the collimation upgrade has not been finalized. One option is to use metallic rotatable collimators and this design will be discussed here. Simulations have been performed in MAFIA to study both the resistive wall and geometric impedance contributions of our rotatable collimator design. Benchtop stretched coil probe impedance measurements have also been performed on prototype components to directly measure the low frequency impedance contributions. The design also calls for an RF contact interface at the jaw end. This contact resistance must be a small fraction of a milliohm in order to limit transverse impedance. DC resistance measurements in a custom built test chamber have been performed to test the performance of various metal pairs and surface coatings.
WEPP097	Simulation of Wakefield Effect in ILC IR Chamber	2743
	S. Pei, T. O. Raubenheimer, A. Seryi, J. C. Smith SLAC, Menlo Park, California
	To achieve super high luminosity, high current beams with very short bunch length are needed, which carry high intensity EM fields. For ILC, two bunch trains with bunch length of 300μm and bunch charge of 3.2nC are needed to collide at the IR to achieve the ILC luminosity goals. When the 300μm bunches pass through the IR chamber, wakefields will be excited, which will cause HOM power flowing through the IR chamber beam pipe to the final doublets due to the high frequency characteristic of the induced wakefields. Since superconducting technology is adopted for the final doublets of ILC BDS, whose operation stability might be affected by the HOM power produced at the IR chamber, quench might happen. In this paper, we did some analytical estimation and numerical simulation on the wakefield effects in ILC IR chamber.

	The LHC collimation system is installed and commissioned in different phases, following the natural evolution of the LHC performance. To improve cleaning efficiency towards the end of the low beta squeeze at 7TeV, and in stable physics conditions, it is foreseen to complement the 30 highly robust Phase I secondary collimators with low impedance Phase II collimators. At this stage, their design is not yet finalized. Possible options include metallic collimators, graphite jaws with a movable metallic foil, or collimators with metallic rotating jaws. As part of the evaluation of the different designs, the FLUKA Monte Carlo code is extensively used for calculating energy deposition and studying material damage and activation. This report outlines the simulation approach and defines the critical quantities involved.

	The LHC beams are designed to have high stability and to be stored for many hours. The nominal beam intensity lifetime is expected to be of the order of 20h. The Phase II collimation system has to be able to handle particle losses in stable physics conditions at 7 TeV in order to avoid beam aborts and to allow correction of parameters and restoration to nominal conditions. Monte Carlo simulations are needed in order to evaluate the behavior of metallic high-Z collimators during operation scenarios using a realistic distribution of losses, which is a mix of the three limiting halo cases. Moreover, the consequences in the IR7 insertion of the worst (case) abnormal beam loss are evaluated. The case refers to a spontaneous trigger of the horizontal extraction kicker at top energy, when Phase II collimators are used. These studies are an important input for engineering design of the collimation Phase II system and for the evaluation of their effect on adjacent components. The goal is to build collimators that can survive the expected conditions during LHC stable physics runs, in order to avoid quenches of the SC magnets and to protect other LHC equipments.
