Long-term Stability in Hadron Colliders in Presence of Synchrotron Oscillations and Tune Ripple
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of long-term losses in hadron colliders such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is considered. A previous formula that provides the reduction of dynamic aperture with the number of turns is generalized to include also the relevant cases of off-momentum and tune ripple. The dynamic aperture turns out to shrink with a power of the inverse logarithm of the number of turns. Long-term tracking data of the LHC are analysed in this framework. The formula proves to hold in all cases, and the possibility of using its extrapolation to predict long-term losses are explored.

An Analysis of BNS Damping Techniques in Storage Rings and Colliders
Transverse instabilities in linacs can be controlled by BNS damping, in which the transverse oscillation frequency is chirped from the head to the tail of the bunch. It has been suggested that this technique could be applied to quasiisochronous rings, such as are proposed for a muon collider. We adopt a reduced phase space model, taking averages over transverse coordinates and with proscribed l...
متن کاملEarly Indicators of Long Term Stability in Hadron Colliders
Early indicators of long-term stability, based on short-term tracking data, are considered in hadron colliders, such as the CERN-LHC. Two early indicators are analysed: the Lyapunov coefficient and the variation of the instantaneous nonlinear tunes. A threshold is associated to each indicator, by which a simple and automated procedure can be defined to select chaotic from regular trajectories. ...
متن کاملDamping of Coherent Oscillations
Damping of coherent oscillations by feedback is straightforward in principle. It has been a vital ingredient for the safe operation of accelerators since a long time [1,2]. The increasing dimensions and beam intensities of the new generation of hadron colliders impose unprecedented demands on the performance of future systems. The arguments leading to the specification of a transverse feedback ...
متن کاملSuperbunch hadron colliders.
A novel concept of a high luminosity hadron collider is proposed. This would be a typical application of an induction synchrotron being newly developed. Extremely long bunches, referred to as superbunches, are generated by a multibunch stacking method employing barrier buckets at the injection into the collider and are accelerated with a step voltage induced in the induction gaps. Superbunches ...
متن کاملPrediction of Long-term Stability in Large Hadron Colliders
Short-term tracking data are used to compute early indicators of long-term stability in large hadron colliders. A phenomenological picture of the mechanisms that lead to long-term particle loss is outlined, using numerical simulations. The Lyapunov exponent and the variation of the nonlinear tunes with time are computed with an automated procedure and compared to model-independent thresholds: t...
