MOPAB006 | Optics Configurations for Improved Machine Impedance and Cleaning Performance of a Multi-Stage Collimation Insertion | 57 |
|
||
For a two-stage collimation system, the betatron phase advance between the primary and secondary stages is usually set to maximise the absorption of secondary particles outscattered from the primary. Another constraint is the contribution to the ring impedance of the collimation system, which can be decreased through an optimized insertion optics, featuring large values of the beta functions. In this article we report on first studies of such an optics for the CERN LHC. In addition to a gain in impedance, we show that the cleaning efficiency can be improved thanks to the large beta functions, even though the phase advance is not set at the theoretical optimum. | ||

MOPAB027 | Improving the Luminosity Burn-Off Estimate by Considering Single-Diffractive Effects | 130 |
|
||
Collisions in a high-luminosity collider result in a continuous burn-off of the circulating beams that is the dominant effect that reduces the instantaneous luminosity over time. In order to obtain a good estimate of the luminosity evolution, it is imperative to have an accurate understanding of the burn-off. Typically, this is calculated based on the inelastic cross-section, as it provides a direct estimate of the number of protons that participate in inelastic collisions, and are hence removed. Likewise, protons that participate in elastic collisions will remain in the machine acceptance, still contributing to luminosity. In between these two regimes lie diffractive collisions, for which the protons have a certain probability to remain in the machine acceptance. Recent developments of the SixTrack code allow it to interface with Pythia, thus allowing for more precise simulations to obtain a better estimate of the diffractive part of the cross-section. In this paper, we will mainly concentrate on slowly-drifting protons that are close to the acceptance limit, resulting from single-diffractive scattering. | ||

MOPAB028 | Using Machine Learning to Improve Dynamic Aperture Estimates | 134 |
|
||
The dynamic aperture (DA) is an important concept in the study of nonlinear beam dynamics. Several analytical models used to describe the evolution of DA as a function of time, and to extrapolate to realistic time scales that would not be reachable otherwise due to computational limitations, have been successfully developed. Even though these models have been quite successful in the past, the fitting procedure is rather sensitive to several details. Machine Learning (ML) techniques, which have been around for decades and have matured into powerful tools ever since, carry the potential to address some of these challenges. In this paper, two applications of ML approaches are presented and discussed in detail. Firstly, ML has been used to efficiently detect outliers in the DA computations. Secondly, ML techniques have been applied to improve the fitting procedures of the DA models, thus improving their predictive power. | ||

TUPAB216 | Modeling Particle Stability Plots for Accelerator Optimization Using Adaptive Sampling | 1923 |
|
||
Funding: This work is partially funded by the Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC), project C18-07. One key aspect of accelerator optimization is to maximize the dynamic aperture (DA) of a ring. Given the number of adjustable parameters and the compute-intensity of DA simulations, this task can benefit significantly from efficient search algorithms of the available parameter space. We propose to gradually train and improve a surrogate model of the DA from SixTrack simulations while exploring the parameter space with adaptive sampling methods. Here we report on a first model of the particle stability plots using convolutional generative adversarial networks (GAN) trained on a subset of SixTrack numerical simulations for different ring configurations of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. |

TUPAB231 | Cooling of an Annular Beam by Using Nonlinear Effects | 1968 |
|
||
In recent years, nonlinear effects have been used to modify the transverse beam distribution by crossing nonlinear resonances adiabatically. This allows generating transversally split beams, in which the initial single Gaussian is divided into several ones depending on the order and stability type of the resonance used. Nonlinear effects could be used to try and cool a beam by acting on its transverse beam distribution. In this paper, we present and discuss the special case of a beam with an annular distribution, showing how the resulting emittance could be reduced by means of nonlinear effects. | ||

TUPAB232 | Linear Coupling and Adiabaticity of Emittance Exchange | 1972 |
|
||
In circular accelerators, crossing the coupling resonance induces the exchange of the transverse emittances, provided the process is adiabatic. In this paper, we introduce a theoretical framework to analyze the resonance-crossing process, based on Hamiltonian mechanics, which is capable of explaining all the features of the emittance exchange process. | ||

TUPAB233 | Diffusive Models for Nonlinear Beam Dynamics | 1976 |
|
||
Diffusive models for representing the nonlinear beam dynamics in a circular accelerator ring have been developed in recent years. The novelty of the work presented here with respect to older approaches is that the functional form of the diffusion coefficient is derived from the time stability estimate of the Nekhoroshev theorem. In this paper, we discuss the latest results obtained for simple models of nonlinear betratron motion. | ||

WEXB07 | Transverse Beam Profile Measurements from Extraction Losses in the PS | 2548 |
|
||
During Multi-Turn Extraction (MTE) of continuous beams in the Proton Synchrotron (PS) at CERN, losses are generated on the blade of both the active and non-active septum during the rise time of the extraction kickers. Utilising pCVD Diamond detectors, secondary signal generated from these losses is measured. The high time resolution of these devices allows for insight into the detail of the horizontal beam distribution during extraction, and hence useful information such as the horizontal beam emittance may be computed. In this contribution, FLUKA simulations to relate the detector response to the beam impact conditions on the blades of the two septa are presented. The dependence on the beam angle, magnetic fringe field, and positioning of the detector is explored. Finally, realistic beam distributions are used to determine expected signal profiles at each septum. | ||

WEPAB026 | Optics Measurements and Correction Plans for the HL-LHC | 2656 |
|
||
The High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will require stringent optics correction to operate safely and deliver the design luminosity to the experiments. In order to achieve this, several new methods for optics correction have been developed. In this article, we outline some of these methods and we describe the envisioned strategy of how to use them in order to reach the challenging requirements of the HL-LHC physics program. | ||

THPAB169 | A Mechanism for Emittance Growth Based on Non-Linear Islands in LHC | 4082 |
|
||
Landau octupoles are used in the LHC to prevent coherent instabilities of the circulating beam. The reduction of their strength occurring during the energy ramp can transport particles in nonlinear islands to larger amplitude. This has the potential to lead to emittance growth and to beam-losses. Beam-based studies and simulations of emittance growth during Landau octupole ramps performed in the LHC are presented to explore this mechanism in more detail. | ||

THPAB189 | New Techniques to Compute the Linear Tune | 4142 |
|
||
Tune determination in numerical simulations is an essential aspect of nonlinear beam dynamics studies. In particular, because it allows probing whether an initial condition is close to resonance, and it enables assessment of the stability of the orbit, i.e. whether the motion is regular or chaotic. In this paper, results of recently developed techniques to obtain accurate tune computation from numerical simulation data are presented and discussed in detail. | ||
