THPMN009 | Backscattering of Secondary Particles into the ILC Detectors from Beam Losses Along the Extraction Lines | 2725 |
|
||
At the International Linear Collider (ILC) the beams will be focused to extremely small spot sizes in order to achieve the desired luminosity. After the collision the beams must be brought to the dump with minimal losses. In spite of all the attention put into the design of the extraction line, the loss of some disrupted beam particles, beamstrahlung or synchrotron radiation photons is unavoidable. These losses will generate low-energy secondary particles, such as photons, electrons and neutron, a fraction of which can be back-scattered towards the interaction point and generate backgrounds into the detector. In this paper we present an evaluation of such backgrounds, using the BDSIM and Mokka simulations, for several presently considered ILC extraction lines and detectors. | ||
THPMN005 | Technical Challenges for Head-On Collisions and Extraction at the ILC | 2716 |
|
||
Funding: EUROTeV Project Contract no.011899 RIDS An interaction region with head-on collisions is considered as an alternative to the baseline ILC configuration. Progress in the final focus optics design includes engineered large bore superconducting final doublet magnets and their 3D magnetic integration in the detector solenoids. Progress on the beam separation optics is based on technical designs of electrostatic separator and special extraction quadripoles. The spent beam extraction is realized by a staged collimation scheme relying on realistic collimators. The impact on the detector background is estimated. The possibility of technical tests of the most challenging components is investigated. |

THPMN010 | GUINEA-PIG++ : An Upgraded Version of the Linear Collider Beam-Beam Interaction Simulation Code GUINEA-PIG | 2728 |
|
||
GUINEA-PIG++ is a newly developed object-oriented version of the Linear Collider beam-beam simulation program GUINEA-PIG. The main goals of this project are to provide a reliable, modular, documented and versatile framework enabling convenient implementation of new features and functionalities. Examples of improvements described in this paper are an easy interface to study the impact of electromagnetic effects on Bhabha event selections, a treatment of spin depolarization effects, automatic consistency checks and adjustments of internal computational parameters, upgraded input/output and user interface, an optimised setup for massive production on distributed computing GRIDs. A possible setup to perform fast parallelised computations is also discussed. | ||
THPMN077 | Improved 2mrad crossing angle layout for the International Linear Collider | 2883 |
|
||
The 2mrad interaction region and extraction line provide several machine and physics advantages, but also involves a number of technological challenges. In this paper a minimal extraction line without beam energy and polarization diagnostics is presented, which considerably simplifies the design and reduces costs. The optimization of the interaction region sextupoles, using current and proposed technologies, and an estimation of photon backscattering from spent beam particle losses are described. Overall performance is evaluated and compared with previous designs. The upgrade to 1 TeV and the possibility of including diagnostics are considered. | ||
WEOCAB01 | Design of the Beam Delivery System for the International Linear Collider | 1985 |
|
||
The beam delivery system for the linear collider focuses beams to nanometer sizes at the interaction point, collimates the beam halo to provide acceptable background in the detector and has a provision for state-of-the art beam instrumentation in order to reach the physics goals. The beam delivery system of the International Linear Collider has undergone several configuration changes recently. This paper describes the design details and status of the baseline configuration considered for the reference design. | ||
