MOPC129 | Lattice without Transition Energy for the Future PS2 | 370 |
|
||
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be commissioned very soon. Improvements of the LHC injection complex are considered in the upgrade possibilities. In the injection complex it is considered that the aging Proton Synchrotron (PS) would be replaced with a new fast cycling synchrotron PS2. The energy range would be from 5-50 GeV with a repetition rate of 0.3 Hz. This is a report on the PS2 lattice design using the Flexible Momentum Compaction (FMC) method*. The design is trying to fulfill many requirements: high compaction factor, racetrack shape with two long zero dispersion straight sections, circumference fixed to a value of 1346 meters (CPS2=15/77 CPS), using normal conducting magnets and avoiding the transition energy.

WEPP028 | Flexible Momentum Compaction Return Arcs for RLAs | 2578 |
|
||
Neutrino Factories and Muon Colliders require rapid acceleration of short-lived muons to multi-GeV and TeV energies. A Recirculating Linear Accelerator (RLA) that uses a single Linac and teardrop return arcs can provide exceptionally fast and economical acceleration to the extent that the focusing range of the RLA quadrupoles allows each muon to pass several times through each high-gradient cavity and the cost of the return arcs is appropriate. Flexible Momentum Compaction (FMC) lattice designs for the teardrop return arcs provide sufficient momentum acceptance to allow multiple passes of each sign of muon in one string of magnets to improve cost-effectiveness. | ||
WEPP011 | Setup and Performance of RHIC for the 2008 Run with Deuteron and Gold Collisions | 2548 |
|
||
This year deuterons and gold ions were collided in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) for the first time since 2003. The setup and performance of the collider for this run is reviewed with a focus on improvements that have led to an order of magnitude increase in luminosity since the 2003 run. | ||
WEPP015 | Experience with IBS-suppression Lattice in RHIC | 2557 |
|
||
An intra-beam scattering (IBS) is the limiting factor of the luminosity lifetime for RHIC operating with heavy ions. In order to suppress the IBS we designed and implemented new lattice with higher betatron tunes. This lattice had been developed during last three years and had been used for gold ions in yellow ring of the RHIC during d-Au part of the RHIC Run-8. The use of this lattice allowed both significant increases in the luminosity lifetime and the luminosity levels via reduction of beta-stars in the IPs. In this paper we report on the development, the tests and the performance of IBS-suppression lattice in RHIC, including the resulting increases in the peak and the average luminosity. We also report on our plans for future steps with the IBS suppression. | ||
WEPP019 | RHIC Polarized Proton Performance in Run-8 | 2566 |
|
||
During Run-8, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) provided collisions of spin-polarized proton beams at two interaction regions. Helical spin rotators at these two interaction regions were used to control the spin orientation of both beams at the collision points. Physics data were taken with different orientations of the beam polarization. We present recent developments and improvements as well as the luminosity and polarization performance achieved during Run-8. | ||
THPP004 | EMMA - the World's First Non-scaling FFAG | 3380 |
|
||
EMMA - the Electron Model of Many Applications - is to be built at the STFC Daresbury Laboratory in the UK and will be the first non-scaling FFAG ever constructed. EMMA will be used to demonstrate the principle of this type of accelerator and study their features in detail. The design of the machine and its hardware components are now far advanced and construction is due for completion in summer 2009. |
