WEPC037 | An Achromatic Telescopic Squeezing (ATS) Scheme for LHC Upgrade | 2088 |
|
||
A novel optics concept has been invented and developed in the context of the LHC Upgrade studies. It offers an incredibly powerful and flexible machinery in order to squeeze beta* in a symmetric or asymmetric way (so-called “round” or “flat” optics, respectively), while perfectly controlling the chromatic aberrations induced (off-momentum beta-beating, non-linear chromaticity, spurious dispersion due to the crossing angles). The basic principles of the scheme are described and a specific path for the LHC upgrade is built accordingly, only relying on the existing and well-characterized LHC-like technology, and based on the production of flat collision optics with very small beta* (7.5 cm) in the plane perpendicular to the crossing plane. | ||
WEPZ031 | Accelerator Studies on a Possible Experiment on Proton-driven Plasma Wakefields at CERN | 2832 |
|
||
There has been a proposal by Caldwell et al to use proton beams as drivers for high energy linear colliders. An experimental test with CERN's proton beams is being studied. Such a test requires a transfer line for transporting the beam to the experiment, a focusing section for beam delivery into the plasma, the plasma cell and a downstream beam section for measuring the effects from the plasma and safe disposal of the beam. The work done at CERN towards the conceptual layout and design of such a test area is presented. A possible development of such a test area into a CERN test facility for high-gradient acceleration experiments is discussed. | ||
THPZ013 | A Proposal for the Optics and Layout of the HL-LHC with Crab-cavities | 3711 |
|
||
The LHC Upgrade studies have been recently formalized into the so-called HL-LHC project. This project relies on the availability of new technologies such as crab-cavities which would be installed in the interaction region (IR) of the new ATLAS and CMS experiments, and high-field and large aperture inner triplet quadrupoles equipped with Nb3Sn super-conducting cables. This paper presents and analyzes a possible layout and optics for the new IRs, with a beta* squeezed down to 15 cm in collision using the ATS scheme*.
