| TUPZ041 | Site Studies for the SuperB Collider and Synchrotron Radiation Facility Project | 1900 |
|
||
| The SuperB project aims at the construction of a very high luminosity (1036 cm-2 s−1) asymmetric electron-positron collider. Due to its large beam current (~2 A) high energy (~7 GeV) and low vertical emittance (less than 10-11 m) the facility looks very attractive as an x-ray synchrotron radiation source, and therefore few beam lines are also foreseen. Possible locations are the campus of the University of Rome Tor Vergata or near another Italian INFN laboratory site. This paper presents and describes the status of the preliminary design of the civil infrastructure layout and related site issues. | ||
| WEPC013 | Tests for Low Vertical Emittance at Diamond using LET Algorithm | 2031 |
|
||
| We present measurements recently performed at the Diamond Light Source, aimed at the achievement of low vertical emittance using the Low Emittance Tuning (LET) algorithm developed for a SuperB factory project presently in progress. The tests have been focused on the comparison between this method and the LOCO algorithm currently used at Diamond. Beam position monitor tilts estimate and multiple coupling response matrices have been introduced in the algorithm in order to optimize the procedure. After few iterations using vertical correctors and skew quadrupoles, very low vertical dispersion and emittance coupling, comparable to those obtained by LOCO, have been measured. | ||
| WEPC077 | Beam Based Measurements with the Modified Wigglers in DAΦNE | 2196 |
|
||
| A novel idea to minimize the odd high order non-linearities in periodic magnets has been presented in other articles in the past. The optimization of this method on the wigglers of the main rings in DAΦNE has been performed by means of multipolar and tracking analysis. After the magnetic measurements on a spare wiggler confirmed the magnetic model used to optimize the DAΦNE wigglers, all the insertion devices in the main rings have been modified accordingly. In fall last year tune variation measurements as a function of closed orbit bumps around the wigglers confirmed the validity of the method. In this paper the beam based measurement results with the new configuration are discussed and compared with those obtained in the previous configurations. | ||
| WEPC106 | Touschek Effect at DAΦNE for the New KLOE Run in the Crab-Waist Scheme | 2262 |
|

Funding: Work supported by the EuCARD research programme within the 'Assessment of Novel Accelerator Concepts' work package (ANAC-WP11) The innovative crab-waist collision scheme has been recently implemented at DAΦNE for a new KLOE run. This scheme requires special attention to the Touschek effect, both for the lifetime and the machine induced backgrounds into the detector. These two aspects have been handled starting from the same Monte Carlo simulation. The DAΦNE optical model has been tuned to keep the effects of Touschek scattering under control with a trade-off between critical parameters, following the indications given by simulations. Connections between numerical results and lattice modifications are discussed here. Dedicated lifetime measurements have been carried out to validate these studies. Particle losses at the IR have been minimized by means of the same optical knobs, but in addition proper shieldings have been implemented to further decrease their impact on the detector performance. IR distributions of the Touschek particle losses have been tracked from the beam pipe into KLOE for direct comparison of measured and expected backgrounds. Moreover, these studies are carried out with the same software tools used for the SuperB factory design, allowing a direct validation test of this approach. |

| WEPO026 | Advances in the Design of the SuperB Final Doublet | 2454 |
|
||
| SuperB is an asymmetric (6.7 GeV HER, 4.18 GeV LER) e+ e− collider operating at the Y(4S) peak with a design peak luminosity of 1036 Hz/cm2 to be built in Italy in the very near future. The design luminosity is almost a factor hundred higher than that of the present generation comparable facilities. To get the design luminosity a novel collision scheme, the so called “large Piwinski angle with crab waist”, has been designed. The scheme requires a short focus final doublet to reduce the vertical beta function down to betay*=0.2 mm at the interaction point (IP). The final doublet will be composed by a set of permanent and superconducting (SC) quadrupoles. The SC quadrupole doublets QD0/QF1 have to be placed as close to the IP as possible. This layout is critical because the space available for the doublets is very small. An advanced design of the quadrupole has been developed, based on the double helical coil concept. The paper discusses the design concept, the construction and the results of test of a model of the superconducting quadrupole based on NbTi technology. Future developments are also presented. | ||
| THPZ024 | Updated Design of the Italian SuperB Factory Injection System | 3738 |
|
||
| The ultra high luminosity B-factory (SuperB) project of INFN requires a high performance and reliable injection system, providing electrons at 4 GeV and positrons at 7 GeV, to fulfill the very tight requirements of the collider. Due to the short beam lifetime, continuous injection of electrons and positrons in both HER and LER rings is necessary to keep the average luminosity at a high level. An updated version of the injection system, optimized at higher repetition frequency is presented. This scheme includes a polarized electron gun, a positron production scheme with electron/positron conversion at low energy 0.6 GeV, and a 1 GeV damping ring to reduce the injected emittance of the positron beam. | ||
| THPZ003 | The SuperB Project: Accelerator Status and R&D | 3684 |
|
||
| The SuperB collider project has been recently approved by the Italian Government as part of the National Research Plan. SuperB is a high luminosity (1036 cm-2 s-1) asymmetric e+e− collider at the Y(4S) energy. The design is based on a “large Piwinski angle and Crab Waist” scheme already successfully tested at the DAΦNE Phi-Factory in Frascati, Italy. The project combines the challenges of high luminosity colliders and state-of-the-art synchrotron light sources, with two beams (e+ at 6.7 and e- at 4.2 GeV) with extremely low emittances and small beam sizes at the Interaction Point. As unique features, the electron beam will be longitudinally polarized at the IP and the rings will be able to ramp down to collide at the tau/charm energy threshold with one tenth the luminosity. The relatively low beam currents (about 2 A) will allow for low running (power) costs compared to similar machines. The insertion of beam lines for synchrotron radiation users is the latest feature included in the design. The lattice has been recently modified to accommodate insertion devices for X-rays production. A status of the project and a description of R&D in progress will be presented. | ||
| THPZ004 | DAΦNE Tune-up for the KLOE-2 Experiment | 3687 |
|
||
|
Funding: Work supported by the EuCARD research programme within the 'Assessment of Novel Accelerator Concepts' work package (ANAC-WP11). In its continuous evolution DAΦNE, the Frascati lepton collider, is starting a new run for the KLOE-2 experiment, an upgraded version of the KLOE one. A new interaction region, based on the high luminosity Crab-Waist collision scheme, has been designed, built and installed. Several machine subsystems have been revised according to innovative design concepts in order to improve beam dynamics. Collimators and shieldings have been upgraded in order to minimize the background rates on the detector during coasting as well as injection operation. A wide measurement campaign has been undertaken to verify and quantify the effect of the modifications and to tune-up the collider in view of the 3 years long data-taking foreseen to deliver ~5 fb-1 to the experiment. |
