Design of an NLC Intrapulse Feedback System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The small beam spot size at the interaction point of the Next Linear Collider (NLC) makes the luminosity sensitive to beam jitter. A mechanism for aligning the beams to each other which acts during the bunch-train crossing time (~260 ns) has been proposed to maintain luminosity in the presence of beam jitter. Conceptual designs of principal components of the system, a fast position monitor, a kicker,and a feedback regulator are described. Simulation shows that a simple system consisting of fairly conventional components can be effective at reducing the loss of NLC luminosity in the presence of beam jitter many times larger than the vertical beam size.

Simulations 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...
