Collimation with Hollow Electron Beams: A Proposed Design for the LHC Upgrade
نویسندگان
چکیده
Collimation with hollow electron beams is a technique for halo removal in high-power hadron beams. The concept was tested experimentally at the Fermilab Tevatron collider using a hollow electron gun installed in one of the Tevatron electron lenses. Within the US LHC Accelerator Research Program and the European HiLumi LHC Design Study, we are investigating the applicability of this technique to the Large Hadron Collider and a conceptual design is being developed. We review some of the main topics related to this study: motivation; halo removal processes; development of hollow electron guns; effects on the proton beam core; and integration in the LHC machine.

Electron Lenses for Particle Collimation in Lhc
Electron Lenses built and installed in Tevatron have proven themselves as safe and very reliable instruments which can be effectively used in hadron collider operation for a number of applications, including compensation of beam-beam effects [1], DC beam removal from abort gaps [2], as a diagnostic tool. In this presentation we – following original proposal [3] – consider in more detail a possi...

We summarize the Session 2 of the HHH-2004 workshop, which was devoted to beam dynamics and intensity challenges. The topics discussed included the extrapolation of collimation system, machine protection, beam dump, and rf systems to various LHC upgrade scenarios, spacecharge studies for the GSI complex, electron-cloud effects at RHIC and SNS, and a review of vacuum physics, which addressed, in...
متن کاملCollimation with hollow electron beams.
A novel concept of controlled halo removal for intense high-energy beams in storage rings and colliders is presented. It is based on the interaction of the circulating beam with a 5-keV, magnetically confined, pulsed hollow electron beam in a 2-m-long section of the ring. The electrons enclose the circulating beam, kicking halo particles transversely and leaving the beam core unperturbed. By ac...
متن کاملMechanical and Thermal Prototype Testing for a Rotatable Collimator for the Lhc Phase Ii Collimation Upgrade∗
The Phase II upgrade to the LHC collimation system calls for complementing the robust Phase I graphite collimators with high Z, low impedance Phase II collimators. The design for the collimation upgrade has not been finalized. One option is to use metallic rotatable collimators and testing of this design will be discussed here. The Phase II collimators must be robust in various operating condit...
متن کاملUpgrade of the beam extraction system of the GTS-LHC electron cyclotron resonance ion source at CERN.
Linac3 is the first accelerator in the heavy ion injector chain of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), providing multiply charged heavy ion beams for the CERN experimental program. The ion beams are produced with GTS-LHC, a 14.5 GHz electron cyclotron resonance ion source, operated in afterglow mode. Improvement of the GTS-LHC beam formation and beam transport along Linac3 is part of the upgrade p...
