MOODB102 | Multiple Function Magnet Systems for MAX IV | dipole, multipole, quadrupole, sextupole | 34 |
|
|||
Danfysik is currently producing 60 up to 3.3 m long magnet systems consisting of up to 12 multipole magnets integrated into each of the yokes for the bending achromats of the MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring and 12 similar systems for the MAX IV 1.5 GeV storage ring. Each magnet yoke contains combined function soft-end dipole and quadrupole elements which are machined out of one single iron block at tolerances of ± 0.02 mm. In addition, separate, higher order multipole magnets are kinematically mounted into the yokes. The integration of many magnetic elements into single yoke structures enables a compact, low emittance storage ring design. The dipole and quadrupole magnetic elements are magnetically field mapped with high precision on a 3D hall probe measuring bench. Higher order multipoles are measured on a slow rotating coil system developed for that purpose. Much effort has been put into automation in order to quickly perform the very comprehensive measurement program each girder will through. | |||

MOPME076 | Determination of Octupole and Sextupole Polarities in the LHC | sextupole, coupling, injection, lattice | 655 |
|
|||
We report the results of measurements to verify the polarity of the LHC’s lattice focusing and defocusing octupoles (MOF and MOD), spool piece octupole correctors (MCO), arc skew sextupole correctors (MSS), and interaction region sextupoles (MCSX and MCSSX). Octupole polarities were determined by measuring the change to second order chromaticity when a magnet family was trimmed. The MSS skew sextupole corrector polarities were checked by measuring the change to chromatic coupling when a magnet family was trimmed. The polarities of the MCSSX skew sextupoles in IR 1 and the MCSX normal sextupoles in IR 5 were checked by measuring the tune shift due to a magnet trim. Comparison of measurements with model predictions indicates that the polarities of the octupoles and the IR sextupoles are correct, and the polarities of the MSS skew sextupole correctors are reversed. | |||
TUPFI030 | LHC Machine Developments in 2011-12 | optics, luminosity, collimation, ion | 1406 |
|
|||
In 2011 and 2012 LHC machine development (MD) sessions were performed during dedicated slots of beam time. These MD studies were scheduled and planned well in advance. Study topics reflected the previously agreed priorities, such as further optimizing machine performance, exploring beam parameters beyond design targets, assessing machine limitations, testing new concepts and machine settings, preparing future LHC running in view of the 2013/14 LHC shutdown and the re-commissioning of the LHC at nominal beam energy in 2014/15. We describe the planning, preparation, execution, review, and documentation of these LHC beam studies and highlight some key results. | |||
TUPFI032 | Observation of Instabilities in the LHC due to Missing Head-on Beam-beam Interactions | damping, luminosity, beam-beam-effects, betatron | 1412 |
|
|||
We report the observation of coherent instabilities on individual bunches out of the LHC bunch train. These instabilities occured spontaneously after several hours of stable beam while in other cases they were related to the application of a small transverse beam separation during a luminosity optimization. Only few bunches were affected, depending on there collision scheme and following various tests we interprete these instabilities as a sudden loss of Landau damping when the tune spread from the beam-beam interaction became insufficient. | |||
TUPFI034 | Observations of Two-beam Instabilities during the 2012 LHC Physics Run | damping, betatron, impedance, luminosity | 1418 |
|
|||
During the 2012 run coherent beam instabilities have been observed in the LHC at 4 TeV, during the betatron squeeze and in collision for special filling patterns. Several studies to characterize these instabilities have been carried out during operation and in special dedicated experiments. In this paper we summarize the observations collected for different machine parameters and the present understanding of the origin of these instabilities. | |||
TUPFI035 | Head-on and Long range Beam-beam Interactions in the LHC: Effective Tune Spread and Beam Stability due to Landau Damping | damping, luminosity, lattice, feedback | 1421 |
|
|||
We discuss the Landau damping of coherent instabilities in the presence of betatron tune spread. This tune spread can originate from dedicated non-linear magnets such as octupoles, or through the beam-beam interaction. In the latter case we have to distinguish the contribution from head-on and parasitic beam-beam interactions and the collision pattern of different bunches plays an important role. The interplay of these sources of tune spread and the resulting stability is discussed for the case of the LHC. | |||
TUPFI036 | Observation of Beam Instabilities with Very Tight Collimation | damping, impedance, collimation, proton | 1424 |
|
|||
We report about the observation of instabilities in the LHC in special runs with high β* and very tight collimation down to 2 σ which increases the transverse impedance significantly. The losses appeared primarily on the highest intensity, non-colliding bunches which can be interpreted as evidence for insufficient Landau damping. We describe the beam conditions, observations and possible explanations for the observed effects. | |||
TUPFI039 | Optics Performance of the LHC During the 2012 Run | coupling, optics, sextupole, quadrupole | 1433 |
|
|||
During 2012 the LHC was operating at 4TeV with beta star at ATLAS and CMS interaction points of 0.6m. During dedicated machine studies the nominal LHC optics was also setup with beta star of 0.4m. A huge effort was put into the optics commissioning leading to a record low peak beta-beating of around 7%. We describe the correction procedures and discuss the measurement results. | |||
TUPWO048 | Understanding the Tune, Coupling, and Chromaticity Dependence of the LHC on Landau Octupole Powering | closed-orbit, coupling, alignment, simulation | 1976 |
|
|||
During the 2012 LHC run there were several observations of unexpectedly large shifts to the tune, chromaticity, and coupling which were correlated with changes in the powering of Landau octupoles (MO). Understanding the chromaticity dependence is of particular importance given it's influence on instabilities. This paper summarizes the observations and our attempts to-date to understand the relationship between Q, Q', c- and the MO powering. | |||
WEPEA009 | Effects of Field Imperfections in the Isochronous Mode of the CR Storage Ring at FAIR | dipole, quadrupole, sextupole, simulation | 2510 |
|
|||
Today the challenge is to measure masses of exotic nuclei up to the limits of nuclear existence which are characterized by low production cross-sections and short half-lives. The large acceptance Collector Ring (CR) at FAIR tuned in the isochronous ion-optical mode offers unique possibilities for such measurements. Nonlinear field errors as well as fringe fields of the wide aperture quadrupoles and dipoles strongly excite the high-order aberrations which negatively affect the time resolution of the isochronous ring. Their influence is investigated here and a possible correction scheme is shown. | |||
WEPEA043 | Working Point and Resonance Studies at the CERN PS | resonance, injection, controls, focusing | 2597 |
|
|||
The increase of luminosity demanded by the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) requires an increase of beam intensity, which might result in instabilities appearing at injection energy in the CERN PS. Transverse head-tail instabilities have already been observed on operational LHC beams and a stabilizing mechanism as an alternative to linear coupling is currently being studied. It consists of reducing the mode number of the transverse oscillation by changing linear chromaticity and in succession completely suppressing the instability by a transverse damper system with appropriate bandwidth. Therefore, a chromaticity correction scheme at low energy exploiting the intrinsic possibilities offered by special circuits mounted on top of the main magnet poles, the Pole Face Windings (PFW), has been examined. The presence of destructive betatron resonances, which restrict the choice of the injection working point and the maximum acceptable tune spread, forms an additional limitation for high-brightness and high-intensity beams in the CERN PS. To improve the current working point control scheme, the influence of the P F W on the machine resonances is presented in this paper. | |||
WEPEA046 | Experimental Observations from the LHC Dynamic Aperture Machine Development Study in 2012 | dynamic-aperture, beam-losses, emittance, injection | 2606 |
|
|||
In view of improving the understanding of the behaviour of the dynamic aperture and to benchmark the numerical simulations performed so far, two experimental sessions have been scheduled at the LHC. The observations of the first sessions have been reported elsewhere[1], while in this paper the latest observations in terms of beam currents, blm losses and beam sizes will be described. The octupolar spool pieces have been used to artificially reduce the dynamic aperture and then induced slow beam losses. Alternating signs have been used in order to probe different configurations. Finally, scans over the strength of the decapolar spool pieces have been performed too.

THYB101 | Suppressing Transverse Beam Halo with Nonlinear Magnetic Fields | lattice, resonance, space-charge, damping | 3099 |
|
|||
Funding: This work was supported in part by the US Department of Energy's Office of Science, Office of High Energy Physics, under grant No. DE-SC0006247. Traditional space charge driven resonances, such as beam halo, arise due to the underlying linear nature of accelerator lattices. In this talk, we present initial results on a new class of intrinsically nonlinear lattices, which introduce a large tune spread naturally. The resulting nonlinear decoherence suppresses the onset of beam halo. |

THPME005 | Status of the Super FRS Magnet Development for FAIR | dipole, quadrupole, status, sextupole | 3519 |
|
|||
The Super-FRS is a new two stage in flight separator to be built on the site of GSI, Darmstadt, Germany as part of the FAIR (Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research). It will be able to create and spatially separate rare isotopes from all elements up to Uranium. Also very short lived nuclei will be observed efficiently. The Super-FRS has three branches, so a wide variety of experiments can be carried out in frame of the NUSTAR collaboration. The large acceptance needed leads to large apertures of the magnets and therefore only a superconducting solution is feasible. The magnets of the Super-FRS are of the so called superferric type. These magnets use superconducting coils but the field is shaped by magnetic iron yoke. In this contribution the actual status of the designs of the dipole and multipole magnets will be presented. | |||
THPWA038 | GEANT4 Studies of Magnets Activation in the HEBT Line for the European Spallation Source | proton, target, neutron, quadrupole | 3714 |
|
|||
The High Energy Beam Transport (HEBT) line for the European Spallation Source is designed to transport the beam from the underground linac to the target at the surface level while keeping the beam losses small and providing the requested beam footprint and profile on the target. This paper presents activation studies of the magnets in the HEBT line due to backscattered neutrons from the target and beam interactions inside the collimators producing unstable isotopes. | |||
