MOZCH02 | Start to End Simulations of Low Emittance Tuning and Stabilization | 31 |
|
||
The principal beam dynamics challenge to the subsystems between the damping ring and the collision point of future linear colliders is expected to be the tuning and stabilization required to preserve the transverse emittance and to collide nanometer-scale beams. Recent efforts have focused on realistically modelling the operation and tuning of this region, dubbed the Low Emittance Transport (LET). We report on the development of simulation codes which permit integrated simulation of this complex region, and on early results of these simulations. Future directions of LET simulation are also revealed. | ||

TUPLT153 | Orbit Response Matrix Analysis Applied at PEP-II | 1488 |
|
||
Beam-based techniques to study lattice properties have proven to be a very powerful tool to optimize the performance of storage rings. The analysis of orbit response matrices has been used very successfully to measure and correct the gradient and skew gradient distribution in many accelerators. The first applications were mostly in synchrotron light sources, but the technique is also used increasingly at colliders. It allows determination of an accurately calibrated model of the coupled machine lattice, which then can be used to calculate the corrections necessary to improve coupling, dynamic aperture and ultimately luminosity. At PEP-II, the Matlab version of LOCO has been used to analyze coupled response matrices for both the LER and the HER. The large number of elements in PEP-II and the very complicated interaction region present unique challenges to the data analysis. The orbit response matrix analysis will be presented in detail, as well as results of lattice corrections based on the calibrated machine model. | ||
WEPLT158 | Direct Measurement of the Resistive Wakefield in Tapered Collimators | 2209 |
|
||
The transverse wakefield component arising from surface resistivity is expected to play a major role in the beam dynamics of future linear colliders. We report on a series of experiments in which the resistive wakefield was measured in a series of tapered collimators, using the Collimator Wakefield beam test facility at SLAC. In order to separate the contributions of geometric and resistive wakefields, two sets of collimators with identical geometries but different resistivities were measured. The results are in agreement with the theoretical prediction for the high-resistivity (titanium) collimators, but in the case of low-resistivity (copper) collimators the resistive deflections appear to be substantially larger than predicted. | ||
THPLT157 | Beam-based Feedback for the NLC Linac | 2825 |
|
||
The NLC linac train-by-train feedback system is designed to stabilize the beam trajectory, but is also a valuable element in the strategy for emittance preservation. New simulations employ improved strategies [*], allowing beam steering to be performed significantly less often than without the feedback system. Additional simulations indicate that the linac feedback can contribute towards successful operation at noisier sites.

MOPLT143 | Results and Plans of the PEP-II B-Factory | 875 |
|
||
PEP-II is an e+e- B-Factory Collider located at SLAC operating at the Upsilon 4S resonance. PEP-II has delivered, over the past four years, an integrated luminosity to the BaBar detector of over 175 fb-1 and has reached a luminosity over 7.4x1033/cm2/s. Steady progress is being made in reaching higher luminosity. The goal over the next few years is to reach a luminosity of at least 2x1034/cm2/s. The accelerator physics issues being addressed in PEP-II to reach this goal include the electron cloud instability, beam-beam effects, parasitic beam-beam effects, trickle injection, high RF beam loading, lower beta y*, interaction region operation, and coupling control. |
