| TPAP007 | LHC Collimation: Design and Results from Prototyping and Beam Tests | 1078 |
|
||
| The problem of collimation and beam cleaning concerns one of the most challenging aspects of the LHC project. A collimation system must be designed, built, installed and commissioned with parameters that extend the present state-of-the-art by 2-3 orders of magnitude. Problems include robustness, cleaning efficiency, impedance and operational aspects. A strong design effort has been performed at CERN over the last two years. The system design has now been finalized for the two cleaning insertions. The adopted phased approach is described and the expected collimation performance is discussed. In parallel robust and precisely controllable collimators have been designed. Several LHC prototype collimators have been built and tested with the highest beam intensities that are presently available at CERN. The successful beam tests are presented, including beam-based setup procedures, a 2 MJ robustness test and measurements of the collimator-induced impedance. Finally, an outlook is presented on the challenges that are ahead in the coming years. | ||

Funding: Ankara University, Ankara, TURKEY. Main parameters of CLIC-LHC based FEL-Nucleus collider are determined. The matching of beam structures for maximum luminosity is studied. The advantages of the collider with respect to the traditional Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence (NRF) methods are presented considering (/Gamma-/Gamma(prime)) reactions. Determination of unknown decay width, spin and parity of excited levels is discussed for Pb nucleus. |

| TPPT020 | 30 GHz Power Production in CTF3 | 1695 |
|
||
| One of the major objectives of CTF3 (CLIC Test Facility) is the production of 30 GHz power for the high-gradient testing of CLIC accelerating structures. To this end a dedicated beam line, power generating structure and power transfer line have been designed, installed and commissioned. 52 MW of 30 GHz power with a pulse length of 74 ns and a repetition rate of 16 Hz were delivered to the high-gradient test area. This will allow operation of test accelerating structures in the coming run of CTF3 up to the nominal CLIC accelerating gradient of 150 MV/m and beyond the nominal pulse length. The system is described and the performances of the CTF3 linac, beam line and the rf components are reviewed. | ||
| TOPE004 | CLIC Progress Towards Multi-TeV Linear Colliders | 353 |
|
||
| Novel parameters of an e+/e- Linear Collider based on CLIC technology with a broad colliding energy range from 0.5 to 5 TeV are presented for an optimised luminosity of 8x1034 cm-2s-1 at the nominal energy of 3 TeV. They are derived in part from the very successful tests and experience accumulated in the CLIC Test facility, CTF2. A new and ambitious test facility, CTF3, presently under construction at CERN within an international collaboration of laboratories and institutes, and aimed at demonstrating the key feasibility issues of the CLIC scheme, is described. | ||
| RPPE005 | Ions for LHC: Beam Physics and Engineering Challenges | 946 |
|
||
| The first phase of the heavy ion physics program at the LHC aims to provide lead-lead collisions at energies of 5.5 TeV per colliding nucleon pair and ion-ion luminosity of 1027 cm-2s-1. The transformation of CERN’s ion injector complex (Linac3-LEIR-PS-SPS) presents a number of beam physics and engineering challenges. Conversion of the Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) to a Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR) is under way: the high-current electron cooling system, novel broad-band RF cavities and vacuum equipment to achieve 10-12 mbar are the major challenges. Commissioning of LEIR with beam will start in the middle of 2005. Major hardware changes in Linac3 include the installation of the new ECR ion source and of the energy ramping cavity. The PS will have a new injection system and RF gymnastics. A stripping insertion between PS and SPS must not disturb the proton operation. In the LHC itself, there are fundamental performance limitations due to various beam loss mechanisms. To study these without risk of damage there will be an initial period of operation with a reduced number of nominal intensity bunches. While reducing the work required to commission the LHC with ions in 2008, this will still enable early physics discoveries. | ||
| RPPP003 | Proposal of the Next Incarnation of Accelerator Test Facility at KEK for the International Linear Collider | 874 |
|
||
| The realization of the International Linear Collider (ILC) will require the ability to create and reliably maintain nanometer size beams. The ATF damping ring is the unique facility where ILC emittancies are possible. In this paper we present and evaluate the proposal to create a final focus facility at the ATF which, using compact final focus optics and an ILC-like bunch train, would be capable of achieving 35nm beam size. Such a facility would enable the development of beam diagnostics and tuning methods, as well as the training of young accelerator physicists. |
