| MOPE058 | Measuring the Bunch Frequency Multiplication at CTF3 | 1107 |
|
||
|
The CTF3 facility is being built and commissioned by an international collaboration in order to test the feasibility of the proposed CLIC drive beam generation scheme. Central to this scheme is the use of RF deflectors to inject bunches into a Delay Loop and a Combiner Ring, in order to transform the initial bunch spacing of 1.5 GHz from the linac to a final bunch spacing of 12 GHz. The optimization procedure relies on several steps. The active length of each ring is carefully adjusted to within a few millimeters accuracy using a two‐period undulator. The transverse optics of the machine must be set-up in a way so as to ensure the beam isochronicity. Diagnostics based on optical streak cameras and RF power measurements have been designed to measure the longitudinal behaviour of the beam during the combination. This paper presents their performance and highlights recent measurements. |

| TUPEB003 | The SuperB Project Accelerator Status | 1518 |
|

|
The SuperB project is an international effort aiming at building in Italy a very high luminosity e+e- (1036 cm-2 sec-1) asymmetric collider at the B mesons cm energy. The accelerator design has been extensively studied and changed during the past year. The present design, - based on the new collision scheme, with large Piwinski angle and the use of 'crab' sextupoles, which has been successfully tested at the DAPHNE Phi-Factory at LNF Frascati, - provides larger flexibility, better dynamic aperture and in the Low Energy Ring spin manipulation sections, needed for having longitudinal polarization of the electron beam at the Interaction Point. The Interaction Region has been further optimized in terms of apertures and reduced backgrounds in the detector. The injector complex design has been also updated. A summary of the design status, including details on lattice and spin manipulation will be presented in this paper. |

| TUPEB006 | DAΦNE Developments for the KLOE-2 Experimental Run | 1527 |
|
||
|
Recently the peak luminosity achieved on the DAΦNE collider has been improved by almost a factor 3 by implementing a novel collision scheme based on large Piwinski angle and Crab-Waist. This encouraging result opened new perspectives for physics research and a new run with the KLOE-2 detector has been scheduled to start by spring 2010. The KLOE-2 installation is a complex operation requiring a careful design effort and a several months long shutdown. The high luminosity interaction region has been deeply revised in order to take into account the effect on the beam caused by the solenoidal field of the experimental detector and to ensure background rejection. The shutdown has been also used to implement several other modifications aimed at improving beam dynamics: the wiggler poles have been displaced from the magnet axis in order to cancel high order terms in the field, the feedback systems have been equipped with stronger power supplies and more efficient kickers and electrodes have been inserted inside the wiggler and the dipole vacuum chambers, in the positron ring, to avoid the e-cloud formation. A low level RF feedback has been added to the cavity control in both rings. |

| TUPEB027 | A New Interaction Region Design for the Super-B Factory | 1581 |
|
||
|
A final focus magnet design that uses super-ferric magnets is introduced for the Super-B interaction region. The baseline design has air-core super-conducting quadrupoles. This idea instead uses super-conducting wire in an iron yoke. The iron is in the shape of a Panofsky quadrupole and this allows for two quadrupoles to be side-by-side with no intervening iron as long as the gradients of the two quads are equal. This feature allows us to move in as close as possible to the collision point and minimize the beta functions in the interaction region. The super-ferric design has advantages as well as drawbacks and we will discuss these in the paper. |

| TUPEB034 | Interaction Region Design for a Ring Ring Version of the LHeC Study | 1596 |
|
||
|
The LHeC aims at colliding hadron-lepton beams with center of mass energies in the TeV scale. For this purpose the existing LHC storage ring is extended by a high energy electron accelerator in the energy range of 60 to 140 GeV. The electron beam will be accelerated and stored in a LEP like storage ring in the LHC tunnel. In this paper we present the layout of the interaction region which has to deliver at the same time well matched beam optics and an efficient separation of the electron and proton beams. In general the large momentum difference of the two colliding beams provides a very elegant way to solve this problem: A focusing scheme that leads to the required beam sizes of the electrons and protons is combined with an early but gentle beam separation to avoid parasitic beam encounters and still keep the synchrotron radiation level in the IR within reasonable limits. We present in this paper two versions of this concept: A high luminosity layout where the mini beta magnets are embedded into the detector design as well as an IR design that is optimised for maximum acceptance of the particle detector. |

| TUPEB037 | Interaction-Region Design Options for a Linac-Ring LHeC | 1605 |
|
||
|
In a linac-ring electron-proton collider based on the LHC ("LR-LHeC"), the final focusing quadrupoles for the electron beam can be installed far from the collision point, as far away as the proton final triplet (e.g. 23 m) if not further, thanks to the small electron-beam emittance. The inner free space could either be fully donated to the particle-physics detector, or accommodate "slim" dipole magnets providing head-on collisions of electron and proton bunches. We present example layouts for either scenario considering electron beam energies of 60 and 140 GeV, and we discuss the optics for both proton and electron beams, the implied minimum beam-pipe dimensions, possible design parameters of the innermost proton and electron magnets, the corresponding detector acceptance, the synchrotron radiation power and its possible shielding or deflection, constraints from long-range beam-beam interactions as well as from the LHC proton-proton collision points and from the rest of the LHC ring, the passage of the second proton beam, and the minimum beta* for the colliding protons. |

| WEPE027 | Progress towards the CLIC Feasibility Demonstration in CTF3 | 3410 |
|
||
|
The objective of the CLIC Test Facility CTF3 is to demonstrate the key feasibility issues of the CLIC two-beam technology: the efficient generation of a very high current drive beam and its stable deceleration in 12 GHz resonant structures, to produce high-power RF pulses and accelerate the main beam with an accelerating gradient of 100 MV/m. The construction and commissioning of CTF3 has taken place in stages from 2003. Many milestones had already been reached, including the first demonstration at the end of 2009 of a factor 2 x 4 re-combination of the initial drive beam pulse, thus reaching a beam current of 25 A. In this paper we summarise the commissioning highlights and the issues already validated at the earlier stages. We then show and discuss the latest results obtained, in view of the completion of the CLIC feasibility demonstration due for the end of 2010. |

| WEPE089 | Design Optimisation for the CLIC Damping Rings | 3554 |
|
||
|
The CLIC damping rings should produce the ultra-low emittance necessary for the high luminosity performance of the collider. This combined to the high bunch charge present a number of beam dynamics and technical challenges for the rings. Lattice studies have been focused on low emittance cells with optics that reduce the effect Intra-beam scattering. The final beam emittance is reached with the help of super-conducting damping wigglers. Results from recent simulations and prototype measurements are presented, including a detailed absorption scheme design. Collective effects such as electron cloud and fast ion instability can severely limit the performance and mitigation techniques have been identified and tested. Tolerances for alignment and technical system design such as kickers, RF cavities, magnets and vacuum have been finally established. |

| THPE065 | Multipoles Minimization in the DAΦNE Wigglers | 4665 |
|
||
|
The wigglers of the DAΦNE main rings have been one of the main sources of the non-linearities in the collider. A method to minimize the odd integrated multipoles around the beam trajectory (the even ones tend to vanish due to the periodicity of the device) is described. It consists in displacing the magnetic axis of each pole towards the position of the beam in such a way that the integrated odd multipoles are minimized in each half period of the wiggler. After a study, including multipolar and tracking analysis, has performed to determine the best position of the axes, the wigglers in the DAΦNE main rings have been modified accordingly. To validate this approach magnetic measurements and tests with beam by means of closed orbit bumps have been performed. |
