  Space charge effects in high intensity and high brightness synchrotrons can lead to undesired beam emittance growth, beam halo formation and particle loss. A series of dedicated machine experiments has been performed over the past decade in order to study these effects in the particular regime of long-term beam storage (105-106 turns) as required for certain applications. This paper gives an overview of the present understanding of the underlying beam dynamics mechanisms. In particular it focuses on the space charge induced periodic resonance crossing, which has been identified as the main mechanism causing beam degradation in this regime. The challenges in further progressing with the understanding, the modelling and the mitigation of these space charge effects and the resulting beam degradation are discussed. Furthermore, an outlook for possible future directions of studies is presented.

  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.

  The efforts of the Fixed Field Accelerators FFA (formerly known as FFAG accelerators) community to address the high intensity challenge are reviewed. Starting from analytic estimates and linear models for space charge computation, the current possibilities of precise 3D models for start to end modeling are discussed.

Large dynamic vacuum pressure rises of orders of magnitude which caused by the lost heavy ions can seriously limit the ion intensity and beam lifetime of the heavy ion accelerator, especially for the machine that operate the intermediate charge state heavy ion. The High Intensity heavy ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) which will be built by the IMP will accumulate the intermediate charge state ion 238U35+ to intensity 2*1011 ppp to different terminals. In order to control the dynamic vacuum effects induced by the lose beams and design the collimation system for the BRing of the HIAF, a newly developed simulation program (ColBeam) and GSI's simulation code StrahlSim are both conducted and the dynamic vacuum simulation result is calculated by the StrahlSim. According to the simulation result, 3*1011 ppp particles is the up limit beam intensity can be extracted for the current BRing vacuum system design. Higher beam intensity can be reach to 5*1011 ppp when the NEG coating technology must be implemented for the dipole and quadrupole chamber.

  Complementary to the physics research at the LHC, several fixed target facilities receive beams from the LHC injector complex. In the scope of the fixed target physics program at the Super Proton Synchrotron, high-intensity proton beams from the Proton Synchrotron are extracted using the Multi-Turn Extraction scheme, which is based on particle trapping in stable islands of the horizontal phase space. Considering the number of protons requested by future experimental fixed target facilities, such as the Search for Hidden Particles experiment, the currently operationally delivered beam intensities are insufficient. Therefore, experimental studies have been conducted to optimize the Multi-Turn Extraction technique and to exploit the possible intensity reach. The results of these studies along with the operational performance of high-intensity beams during the 2017 run are presented in this paper. Furthermore, the impact of the hardware changes pursued in the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade project on the high-intensity beam properties is briefly mentioned.

WEP2PO003 Beam Loading and Longitudinal Stability Evaluation for the FCC-ee Rings cavity, beam-loading, feedback, impedance 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.

THA1WE02 Requirements and Results for Quadrupole Mode Measurements space-charge, emittance, quadrupole, pick-up 393

Direct space charge may be quantified, and hence the beam brightness observed, by measuring the quadrupolar beam modes in the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS). The spectrum of the transverse beam size oscillations (i.e. the quadrupolar beam moment) contains valuable information: the betatron envelope modes and the coherent dispersive mode indicate optics mismatch, while their frequency shifts due to space charge allow a direct measurement thereof. To measure the quadrupolar beam moment we use the Base-Band Q-meter system of the PS which is based on a four electrode stripline pick-up. Past experiments with quadrupolar pick-ups often investigated coasting beams, where the coherent betatron and dispersion modes correspond to single peaks in the tune spectrum. In contrast, long bunched beams feature bands of betatron modes: the mode frequencies shift depending on the transverse space charge strength which varies with the local line charge density. By using the new transverse feedback in the PS as a quadrupolar RF exciter, we measured the quadrupolar beam transfer function. The beam response reveals the distinct band structure of the envelope modes as well as the coherent dispersive mode.
