Beam-beam interaction is one of the dominant sources of emittance growth and luminosity lifetime deterioration. A current carrying wire has been proposed to compensate long-range beam-beam effects in the LHC and the principle is now being experimentally investigated at RHIC. Tune shift, beam transfer function, and beam loss rate are measured in dedicated experiments. In this paper, we do simulations to study the effect of wire compensator based on diffusive apertures, beam loss rates, and beam transfer function using a parallel weak-strong beam simulation code (bbsimc) without parasitic collisions. The simulation results are compared with measurements. |
