Very Fast Beam Losses at Hera, and What Has Been Done about It
نویسنده
چکیده
During the Luminosity upgrade of HERA in 2000/2001 more than 50 new magnets were installed close to the interaction region to provide a stronger focussing of the two beams. Some of these magnets are located at very large values of the betatron function and therefore can act with a large gain on the beam. Sudden changes in the power supply currents generated very fast beam losses, creating quenches and increased radiation levels. This talk will discuss the improvements made to the HERA machine protection system to make sure that the beam is dumped in time in case of these events.

شرایط گذار به اشتعال غیرتعادلی در افروزش حجمی هدفهای کروی ساده
In this Research, the transition from equilibrium ignition to non-equilibrium burn was studied by DEIRA4 code for simple spherical targets with the dimensions of several mm. It consisted of inner DT fuel and outer Au layers driven by the 209Bi heavy ions beam. Because of their higher plasma opacity, it was expected that they could trap much of the produced charged particles, radiation or even f...
متن کاملNeutrino Cross Sections at HERA and Beyond
The sources of very high energy cosmic rays should also be sources of neutrinos. While the complete scheme of ultrahigh energy cosmic ray production is not yet understood [1], ancillary to cosmic ray production are neutrino fluxes, both at the source of the cosmic rays and through cosmic ray propagation and scattering with the microwave background. Given that neutrinos are unabsorbed and undefl...

This paper evaluates the effect of slot existence with limited length between flanges and web junction of I-shaped beams at the region of moment connections on vertical force and shear stress distribution in beam flanges and web at connection section in comparison with classical theory of stress distribution. The main purpose of this research is to evaluate the efficiency of the slot in connect...
متن کاملReproducibility and Predictability of Persistent Current Effects in the Hera Proton Storage Ring
The contribution of persistent current effects to the sextupole component of the HERA dipoles is determined, based on measurements in the reference magnets. It is used to calculate the overall chromaticity of the machine and compared to the actual settings of the sextupole correction coils and measurements on beam. The fill-to-fill predictability of the persistent current effects in HERA is pre...
متن کاملNonlinear Analysis of a Flexible Beam Actuated by a Couple of Active SMA Wire Actuators
There are two different ways of using SMA wires as actuators for shape control of flexible structures; which can be either embedded within the composite laminate or externally attached to the structure. Since the actuator can be placed at different offset distances from the beam, external actuators produce more bending moment and, consequently, considerable shape changes with the same magnitude...
