MOA1PL02 | Beam Dynamics Challenges for the LHC and Injector Upgrades | emittance, injection, brightness, space-charge | 8 |
|
|||
The High Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will rely on significantly higher bunch current and brightness to meet the future yearly integrated luminosity target. The implications are twofold. On one side, all the accelerators of the LHC injection chain will have to be upgraded to produce the desired beam parameters. For this purpose, the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) program has been established to implement all the needed modifications for meeting the required beam specifications. These upgrades will lead to the lifting of the main intensity and brightness limitations in the injectors, linked to beam instabilities driven by impedance or electron cloud (e-cloud), and space charge. On the other side, the LHC will have to be able to swallow the new beam parameters. This will mainly require control of impedance driven instabilities and beam-beam effects, and e-cloud mitigation. In this paper, we will focus on proton beams by describing the identified performance limitations of the LHC and its injectors, as well as the actions envisioned to overcome them. | |||

MOP2WA03 | Experiments and Theory on Beam Stabilization with Second-Order Chromaticity | damping, experiment, betatron, simulation | 32 |
|
|||
This study reports on an alternative method to generate transverse Landau damping to suppress coherent instabilities in circular accelerators. The incoherent betatron tune spread can be produced through detuning with longitudinal rather than transverse action. This approach is motivated by the high-brightness, low transverse emittance beams in future colliders where detuning with transverse amplitude will be less effective. Detuning with longitudinal action can be introduced with a radio frequency (rf) quadrupole, or similarly, using second-order chromaticity. The latter was enhanced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and experimental results on single-bunch stabilization are briefly recapped. The observations are interpreted analytically by extending the Vlasov formalism to include nonlinear chromaticity. Finally, the newly developed theory is benchmarked against circulant matrix and particle tracking models. | |||

MOP2WA05 | Simulation and Measurement of the TMCI Threshold in the LHC | simulation, coupling, operation, synchrotron | 43 |
|
|||
The transverse mode coupling instability occurs in individual bunches when two transverse oscillation modes couple at high intensity. Simulations predict an instability threshold in the LHC at a single bunch intensity of 3*1011 protons. The TMCI threshold can be inferred by measuring the tune shift as a function of intensity. This measurement was performed in the LHC for different machine impedances and bunch intensities. The impedance was changed by varying the primary and secondary collimators gaps to increase their contribution to the resistive wall impedance. The experiment also allowed to assess the validity of the LHC impedance model in the single bunch case. | |||

TUP2WE04 | Design of the Target Dump Injection Segmented (TDIS) in the Framework of the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) Project | injection, site, shielding, simulation | 122 |
|
|||
The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) Project at CERN calls for increasing beam brightness and intensity. In this scenario most equipment has to be redesigned and rebuilt. In particular, beam intercepting devices (as dumps, collimators, absorbers and scrapers) have to withstand impact or scraping of the new intense HL-LHC beams without failures. Further, minimizing the electromagnetic beam-device interactions is also a key design driver since they can lead to beam instabilities and excessive thermo-mechanical loading of devices. In this context, the present study assesses the conceptual design quality of the new LHC injection dump, the Target Dump Injection Segmented (TDIS), from an electromagnetic and thermo-mechanical perspective. This contribution analyzes the thermo-mechanical response of the device considering two cases: an accidental beam impact scenario and another accidental scenario with complete failure of the RF-contacts. Further, this paper presents the preliminary results for the simulation of the energy deposited by the two counter-rotating beams circulating in the device. | |||

TUP2WA03 | Studies of Capture and Flat-Bottom Losses in the SPS | simulation, optics, injection, beam-loading | 180 |
|
|||
One of the strong limitations for reaching higher beam intensities in the SPS, the injector of the LHC at CERN, are particle losses at flat bottom that increase with beam intensity. In this paper, different sources of these losses are investigated for two available SPS optics, using both measurements and simulations. Part of the losses originate from the PS-to-SPS bunch-to-bucket transfer, because the PS bunches are rotated in longitudinal phase space before injection and do not completely fit into the SPS RF bucket. The injection losses due to different injected bunch distributions were analyzed. Furthermore, at high intensities the transient beam loading in the SPS has a strong impact, which is (partially) compensated by the LLRF system. The effect of the present and future upgraded one-turn delay feedback system and phase loop on flat-bottom losses was studied using the longitudinal tracking code BLonD. Finally, the total particle losses are also affected by limitations in the SPS momentum aperture, visible for higher RF capture voltages in optics with lower transition energy and higher dispersion. | |||

TUP2WA05 | Effect of the Extraction Kickers on the Beam Stability in the CERN SPS | kicker, simulation, extraction, cavity | 189 |
|
|||
Longitudinal beam instability in the CERN SPS is a major limitation in the ability to achieve the bunch intensities required for the goals of the High-Luminosity LHC project (HL-LHC). One of the major drivers in limiting the intensity of the machine is the broadband contribution to the beam-coupling impedance due to the kicker magnets. The extraction kickers (MKE) discussed in this paper are known to give a significant contribution to the overall longitudinal beam-coupling impedance. We present the results of bench measurements of the MKE's impedance to determine the accuracy of electromagnetic simulation models from which the impedance modelused for beam dynamics simulationsis constructed. In addition, we discuss the feasibility and implementation of beam measurements that can indicate the contribution of the MKE magnets to the longitudinal beam-coupling impedance of the SPS. | |||

WEA2WA01 | High Intensity Effects of Fixed Target Beams in the CERN Injector Complex | simulation, space-charge, proton, emittance | 237 |
|
|||
The current fixed target (FT) experiments at CERN are a complementary approach to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and play a crucial role in the investigation of fundamental questions in particle physics. Within the scope of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU), aiming to improve the LHC beam production, the injector complex will be significantly upgraded during the second Long Shutdown (LS2). All non-LHC beams are expected to benefit from these upgrades. In this paper, we focus on the studies of the transverse instability in the Proton Synchrotron (PS), currently limiting the intensity of Time-Of-Flight (ToF) type beams, as well as the prediction of the impact of envisaged hardware modifications. A first discussion on the effect of space charge on the observed instability is also being presented. | |||

WEP2PO003 | Beam Loading and Longitudinal Stability Evaluation for the FCC-ee Rings | cavity, beam-loading, feedback, synchrotron | 266 |
|
|||
In high-current accelerators, interaction of the beam with fundamental impedance of the accelerating cavities can limit machine performance. It can result in a significant variation of bunch-by-bunch parameters (bunch length, synchronous phase, etc.) and lead to longitudinal coupled-bunch instability. In this work, these limitations are analysed together with possible cures for the high-current option (Z machine) of the future circular electron-positron collider (FCC-ee). The time-domain calculations of steady-state beam loading are presented and compared with frequency-domain analysis. | |||

THP2WC01 | The FNAL Booster Second Harmonic RF Cavity | cavity, booster, solenoid, cathode | 434 |
|
|||
Funding: Operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DEAC02- 07CH11359 with the United States Department of Energy. A second harmonic RF cavity which uses perpendicularly biased garnet for frequency tuning is currently being constructed for use in the Fermilab Booster. The cavity will operate at twice the fundamental RF frequency, from ~76 - 106 MHz, and will be turned on only during injection, and transition or extraction. Its main purpose is to reduce beam loss as required by Fermilab's Proton Improvement Plan (PIP). After three years of optimization and study, the cavity design has been finalized and all constituent parts have been received. We discuss the design aspects of the cavity and its associated systems, component testing, and status of the cavity construction. |
