TUPC050 | Impedance Effects in the CLIC Damping Rings | 1111 |
|
||
Due to the unprecedented brilliance of the beams, the performance of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) damping rings is affected by collective effects. Single bunch instability thresholds based on a broad-band resonator model and the associated coherent tune shifts have been evaluated with the HEADTAIL code. Simulations performed for positive and negative values of chromaticity proved that higher order bunch modes can be potentially dangerous for the beam stability. This study also includes the effects of high frequency resistive wall impedance due to different coatings applied on the chambers of the wigglers for e-cloud mitigation and/or ultra-low vacuum pressure. The impact of the resistive-wall wake fields on the transverse impedance budget is finally discussed. | ||
THOBA01 | Electron Cloud Observations in LHC | 2862 |
|
||
Operation of LHC with bunch trains different spacings has revealed the formation of an electron cloud inside the machine. The main observations of electron cloud build-up are the pressure rise measured at the vacuum gauges in the warm regions, as well as the increase of the beam screen temperature in the cold regions due to an additional heat load. The effects of the electron cloud were also visible as a strong instability and emittance growth affecting the last bunches of longer trains, which could be improved running with higher chromaticity and/or larger transverse emittances. A summary of the 2010 and 2011 observations and measurements and a comparison with existing models will be presented. The efficiency of scrubbing and scrubbing strategies to improve the machine running performance will be also briefly discussed. | ||
