MOPS011	Impact of Low Transition Energy Optics to the Electron Cloud Instability of LHC Beams in the SPS	616
	H. Bartosik, E. Benedetto, K.S.B. Li, Y. Papaphilippou, G. Rumolo CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	One of the main limitations for high intensity multi-bunch LHC proton beams in the SPS is imposed by electron cloud instabilities. A new optics of the SPS with lower transition energy was implemented and successfully tested in machine studies. The significant increase of the slippage factor that it provides at injection energy results in the expected increase of the single bunch instability thresholds. In this paper, the impact of this new optics on the electron cloud instability threshold is estimated by using numerical simulations, taking into account the change of the optics functions and the faster synchrotron motion due to the reduced transition energy.

The recent discovery of neutrino oscillations, has implications for the Standard Model of particle physics (SM). Knowing the contribution of neutrinos to the SM, needs precise measurements of the parameters governing the neutrino oscillations. The EUROν Design Study will review three facilities (the so-called Super-Beams, Beta Beams and Neutrino Factories) and perform a cost assessment that, coupled with the physics performance, will give means to the European research authorities to make a decision on future European neutrino oscillation facility. "Beta Beams" produce collimated pure electron (anti-)neutrino by accelerating beta active ions to high energies and having them decay in a storage ring. EUROν Beta Beams are based on CERN’s infrastructure and existing machines. Using existing machines is an advantage for the cost evaluation, however, this choice is also constraining the Beta Beams. Recent work to make the Beta Beam facility a solid option will be described: production of Beta Beam isotopes, the 60 GHz pulsed ECR source development, integration into the LHC-upgrades, ensure the high intensity ion beam stability, and optimizations to get high neutrino fluxes.

	The current 1.4 GeV CERN PS injection energy limits the maximum intensity required by the future High-Luminosity LHC. The bare-machine large chromaticity combined with the non-linear space charge forces make high-brightness and high-intensity beams crossing betatron resonances along the injection flat bottom, inducing transverse emittance blow-up and beam losses. A scan of the working point plane {Qx,Qy} was done in order to identify beam destructive resonances, in the framework of a possible 2 GeV injection energy upgrade which would reduce the space charge effect on the tune. Experiments were carried out in order to review the maximum space charge tune shift for which no transverse emittance blow-up is observed. The results of measurements and simulations will be presented in this paper.

WEPS002	Limitations in Mitigating Collective Effects in the Beta-Beam Decay Ring by the Use of Octupoles	2481

	Funding: I acknowledge the financial support of the European Community under the European Commission Framework Programme 7 Design Study: EUROnu, Project Number 212372. The beta-beam concept relies on the production, by beta decay of radioactive ions of a very high flux, of an electron neutrino and anti-neutrino beam towards a distant detector. After production and acceleration in an accelerator complex consisting of a rapid cycling synchrotron, the CERN PS and the CERN SPS, the radioactive isotopes are injected into a long racetrack-shaped ring, called the decay ring, where they orbit until they decay or are lost. The required intensities to store in the decay ring to reach the aimed neutrino fluxes are very high. Among the collective effects, the head tail effect, caused by transversal resonance impedance, is one of the main issues: the beam was shown to be unstable with the previous decay ring lattice. The lattice was changed to handle this problem; e.g. octupoles were included to increase the stability limit with an amplitude detuning. We here report on the improvement on the beta-beam performance with respect to amplitude detuning in the decay ring and discuss other mitigation attempts.
