Fast Feedback for Linear Colliders
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fast feedback system provides beam stabilization for the SLC. As the SLC is in some sense a prototype for future linear colliders, this system may be a prototype for future feedbacks. The SLC provides a good base of experience for feedback requirements and capabilities as well as a testing ground for performance characteristics. The feedback system controls a wide variety of machine parameters throughout the SLC and associated experiments, including regulation of beam position, angle, energy, intensity and timing parameters. The design and applications of the system are described, in addition to results of recent performance studies.

Simulation of an Intra-pulse Interaction Point Feedback for Future Linear Colliders
In future normal-conducting linear colliders, the beams will be delivered in short bursts with a length of the order of 100 ns. The pulses will be separated by several ms. In order to maintain high luminosity, feedback is necessary on a pulse-to-pulse basis. In addition, intra-pulse feedback that can correct beam positions and angles within one pulse seem technically feasible. The likely perfor...

متن کاملSimulations of an Intra-Pulse Interaction Point Feedback for NLC
Position and angle jitter of the beams at the interaction point are important sources of luminosity degradation in future linear colliders. In order to reduce their effect, intrapulse feedback can be used. Some simulations are presented to evaluate a position feedback at the interaction point. The influences of angle jitter onto this feedback are investigated and possible fixes are discussed. A...
متن کاملEffects of Dynamic Misalignments and Feedback Performance on Luminosity Stability in Linear Colliders
The performance of high energy linear colliders depends critically on the stability with which they can maintain the collisions of nanometer-size beams. Ground motion and vibration, among other effects, will produce dynamic misalignments which can offset the beams at the collision point. A system of train-to-train and intra-train beambeam feedbacks, possibly combined with additional beamindepen...
