| TUPAB283 | Feasibility Study of ChDR Diagnostic Device in the LHC | 2139 |
|
||
| In recent years Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation (ChDR) has been reported as a phenomenon suitable for various types of particle accelerator diagnostics. As it would typically work best for highly relativistic beam, past studies and experiments have been mostly focusing on the lepton machines. This contribution investigates the prospects on the utilization of ChDR as a diagnostic tool for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Based on theoretical considerations and simulation results we estimate the properties of the expected radiation, both in the incoherent and coherent domain, and we compare them with the requirements of the existing diagnostic systems. We also address the potential problem of the use of dielectric radiators in circular machines, where secondary electrons could potentially lead to the creation of electron clouds inside the beam pipe that may affect the radiator. | ||

Non Invasive Bunch Length Measurements Exploiting Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation | |
|
||
| Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation (ChDR) refers to the emission of broadband electromagnetic radiation which occurs when a charged particle propagates at relativistic speed in the vicinity of a dielectric material. At variance with the better-known Cherenkov radiation, ChDR is a non-invasive technique, that is the particle beam does not impinge on the dielectric radiator. ChDR also possesses other interesting features like a relatively high light yield, a broadband spectrum of emission and the emission at a relatively large angle with respect to the beam trajectory. Due to its potential, CERN initiated over the last few years several studies on ChDR-based diagnostics techniques. In this contribution I will focus on the exploitation of ChDR for non-invasive bunch length measurement, from proof of principle tests performed at the CLEAR facility at CERN and CLARA at Daresbury laboratory to current developments for experiments and facilities such as AWAKE and FCC | ||
