THPMS038 | Magnetic Measurements and Simulations of a 4-Magnet Dipole Chicane for the International Linear Collider | 3085 |
|
||
T-474 at SLAC is a prototype BPM-based energy spectrometer for the ILC. We describe magnetic measurements and simulations for the 4-magnet chicane used in T-474. The ILC physics program requires better than 100 part-per-million (ppm) accuracy for energy measurements, which necessitates better than 50 ppm accuracy for magnetic field integral measurements. A 4-dipole chicane is used in T-474 with mid-chicane dispersion of 5-mm and magnetic fields of ~1 kGauss; similar to the current ILC parameters. Stability, reproducibility and consistency of magnetic measurements, including magnetic field maps for the T-474 dipole magnets, are presented using a moving wire, rotating coil, NMR probe, Hall probe and low-field fluxgate magnetometer. Measurements from SLAC's Magnet Test Lab facility as well as in situ measurements in End Station A (ESA) are presented, including measurements of residual magnetic fields in the T-474 chicane between the chicane magnets. Results are provided for an operational mode with a 1-hour calibration cycle, where the chicane magnets are operated in both polarities and at near-zero field. | ||
THPMS041 | Disruption of Particle Detector Electronics by Beam Generated EMI | 3094 |
|
||
The possibility that beam generated electromagnetic interference (EMI) could disrupt the operation of particle detector electronics has been of some concern since the inception of short pulse electron colliders more than 30 years ago, Some instances have been reported where this may have occurred but convincing evidence has not been available. This possibility is of concern for the ILC. We have conducted test beam studies demonstrating that electronics disruption does occur using the vertex detector electronics from the SLD detector which ran at the SLC at SLAC. We present the results of those tests and we describe the need for EMI standards, for beam and detector instrumentation, at the ILC. | ||
WEOBAB01 | Electromagnetic Background Tests for the ILC Interaction Point Feedback System | 1970 |
|
||
We present results obtained with the T-488 experiment at SLAC Endstation A (ESA). A material model of the ILC extraction-line design was assembled and installed in ESA. The module includes materials representing the mask, beamline calorimeter, and first extraction quadrupole, encompassing a stripline interaction-point feedback system beam position monitor (BPM). The SLAC high-energy electron beam was used to irradiate the module in order to mimic the electromagnetic (EM) backgrounds expected in the ILC interaction region. The impact upon the performance of the feedback BPM was measured, and compared with detailed simulations of its expected response. | ||

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. | ||

Funding: This work is supported in part by the Commission of the European Communities under the 6th Framework Programme "Structuring the European Research Area", contract number RIDS-011899. Experiment T-488 at SLAC, End Station A recorded distorted BPM voltage signals and an accurate simulation of these signals was performed. Geant simulations provided the energy and momentum spectrum of the incident spray and secondary emissions, and a method via image charges was used to convert particle momenta and number density into BPM stripline currents. Good agreement was achieved between simulated and measured signals. Further simulation of experiment T-488 with incident beam on axis and impinging on a thin radiator predicted minimal impact due to secondary emission. By extension to worst case conditions expected at the ILC, simulations showed that background hits on BPM striplines would have a negligible impact on the accuracy of beam position measurements and hence the operation of the FONT feedback system |

FRPMS073 | Picosecond Bunch Length and Energy-z Correlation Measurements at SLAC's A-Line and End Station A | 4201 |
|
||
Funding: US DOE Contract #DE-AC02-76FS00515 We report on measurements of picosecond bunch lengths and the energy-z correlation of the bunch with a high energy electron test beam to the A-line and End Station A (ESA) facilities at SLAC. The bunch length and the energy-z correlation of the bunch are measured at the end of the linac using a synchrotron light monitor diagnostic at a high dispersion point in the A-line and a transverse RF deflecting cavity at the end of the linac. Measurements of the bunch length in ESA were made using high frequency diodes (up to 100 GHz) and pyroelectric detectors at a ceramic gap in the beamline. Modelling of the beam's longitudinal phase space through the linac and A-line to ESA is done using the 2-dimensional tracking program LiTrack, and LiTrack simulation results are compared with data. High frequency diode and pyroelectric detectors are planned to be used as part of a bunch length feedback system for the LCLS FEL at SLAC. The LCLS also plans precise bunch length and energy-z correlation measurements using transverse RF deflecting cavities. |

FRPMS074 | Measurements of the Transverse Collimator Wakefields due to Varying Collimator Characteristics | 4207 |

Funding: EUROtev Contract #011899RIDS US DOE Contract DEAC02-76SF00515
We report on measurements of the transverse wakefields induced by collimators of differing characteristics. An apparatus allowing the insertion of different collimator jaws into the path of a beam was installed in End Station A (ESA) in SLAC. Eight comparable collimator geometries were designed, including one that would allow easy comparison with previous results, and were installed in this apparatus. Measurements of the beam kick due to the collimator wakefields were made with a beam energy of 28.5 GeV, and beam dimensions of ~100 microns vertically and a range of 0.5 to 1.5 mm longitudinally. The trajectory of the beam upstream and downstream of the collimator test apparatus was determined from the outputs of ten BPMs (four upstream and six downstream), thus allowing a measurement of the angular kick imparted to the beam by the collimator under test. The transverse wakefield was inferred from the measured kick. The different aperture designs, data collection and analysis, and initial comparison to theoretical and analytic predictions are presented here.

FRPMN090 | A Prototype Energy Spectrometer for the ILC at End Station A in SLAC | 4285 |
|

The main physics programme of the international linear collider requires a measurement of the beam energy with a relative precision on the order of 10-4 or better. To achieve this goal a magnetic spectrometer using high resolution beam position monitors (BPM) has been proposed. A prototype spectrometer chicane using 4 dipole magnets is currently under development at the End Station A in SLAC, intending to demonstrate the required stability of this method and investigate possible systematic effects and operational issues. This contribution reports on the successful commissioning of the beam position monitor system and the resolution and stability achieved. Also, the initial results from a run with a full spectrometer chicane are presented. |
