Beam-based Alignment of the Tesla Main Linac
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main obstacle to emittance preservation in the main linac of a linear collider is the alignment of the quadrupoles and accelerating cavities with respect to the beam. The misalignment tolerances in the case of the TESLA superconducting main linac are reviewed. Simulations of possible beam-based alignment algorithms to meet these tolerances are presented.

Emittance-imposed Alignment and Frequency Tolerances for the Tesla Linear Collider
One option in building a future 500 GeV c.m. linear collider is to use superconducting 1.3 GHz 9-cell cavities. However, wakefields excited by the bunch train in the TESLA (TeV-Energy Super Conducting Linear Accelerator) collider can resonantly drive the beam into unstable operation such that a BBU (Beam Break Up) mode results or at the very least significant emittance dilution occurs. The larg...
متن کاملQuadrupole Alignment and Trajectory Correc- Tion for Future Linear Colliders: Slc Tests of a Dispersion-free Steering Algorithm
The feasibility of future linear colliders depends on achieving very tight alignment and steering tolerances. All proposals (NLC, JLC, CLIC, TESLA and S-BAND) currently require a total emittance growth in the main linac of less than 30-100% [1]. This should be compared with a 100% emittance growth in the much smaller SLC linac [2]. Major advances in alignment and beam steering techniques beyond...
متن کاملBeam-Based Alignment of the NLC Main Linac, Part One: Single-Bunch Comparative Study of Three Algorithms
We describe the results of a series of simulation studies of beam-based alignment of the NLC main linacs using the program LIAR. Three algorithms for alignment of quadrupoles and girders are considered: the algorithm used in the ZDR, the ZDR algorithm combined with a post-alignment MICADO operation, and an algorithm which requires no steering dipoles but requires twice as many alignment segment...
متن کاملDevelopments in Beam-based Alignment and Steering of the next Linear Collider Main Linac
The Next Linear Collider main linacs are 13 km linear accelerators which each contain approximately 750 hybrid iron/permanent-magnet quadrupoles in a FODO array. The small amount of vertical emittance dilution permitted in the main linacs implies a tight tolerance on the RMS distance between the beam and the centers of the quads. We describe two methods for measuring the offsets between the qua...
متن کاملNew Microwave Beam Position Monitors for the TESLA Test Facility | FEL
Beam-based alignment is essential for the operation of the SASE-FEL at the TESLA Test Facility Linac. In order to ensure the overlap of the photon beam and the electron beam, the position of the electron beam has to be measured along the undulator beamline with a high resolution. Due to the severe space limitations, a new microwave concept is being considered. It is based on special ridged wave...
