چکیده
We explore the NLC linac optics compatible with a low energy scenario where initially only part of the full linac is installed. Optics modification suitable for a low energy beam running and upgrade to the nominal energy is discussed. Linac parameters and beam tolerances in the modified lattice are compared to the nominal design.

NLC Failure Resistant Sector Design
• The NLC will not be damaged by the sudden failure a a klystron “8-pack”. This is probably true except possibly for some upstream sectors. • The NLC can operate normally (after energy tuning) with 1/2 of the gradient in a single sector disabled. This relates to the allowance for spare tubes in the linac. • The NLC can operate with 1/2 of the Quads in a sector (FD pairs) turned off. This assump...
متن کاملDesign of the NLC Positron Source*
The design of the positron source for the Next Linear Collider (NLC) is presented. The key features of this design include accelerating positrons at an L-band frequency (1428 MHz) and using a rotating positron target with multi-stage differential pumping. Positron yield simulations show that the L-band design yields at the source 2.5 times the beam intensity required at the interaction point an...
متن کامل0 Estimates of Dispersive Effects in a Bent NLC Main Linac ∗
An alternative being considered for the Next Linear Col-lider (NLC) is not to tunnel in a straight line but to bend the Main Linac into an arc so as to follow an equipotential. We begin here an examination of the effects that this would have on vertical dispersion, with its attendant consequences on synchrotron radiation and emittance growth by looking at two scenarios: a gentle continuous bend...
متن کاملStudies of Beam Optics and Scattering in the next Linear Collider Post-linac Collimation System
We present a new conceptual and optical design for the Next Linear Collider post-linac collimation system. Energy collimation and passive protection against off-energy beams are achieved in a system with large horizontal dispersion and vertical betatron functions. Betatron collimation is performed in a relatively low-beta (FODO-like) lattice in which only thin spoilers intercept particles near ...
متن کاملMicrowave Quadrupoles for Beam Break-up Supression In the NLC Main Linac
This is a preliminary study of the effect of using microwave quads (MQs) instead of rf phase shifting to induce BNS damping in the main linac of the NLC collider. We consider MQs running at X-band, and find that the total length of MQs needed for the NLC is 6% of the total length of the accelerating structures. We show through simulations that, by using MQs instead of phase shifting for BNS dam...
