Long-Range Beam–Beam Compensation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The beam loss system, designed to protect the LHC from losses that could cause damage or quench a superconducting magnet, will need a significant upgrade in order to be able to cope with the new demands of the HL-LHC. In particular, cryogenic beam loss monitors are under investigation for deployment in the new inner triplet magnets to distinguish between collision debris and primary beam losses. Radiation-tolerant integrated circuits are also under development to allow the front-end electronics to sit much closer to the detector, so minimizing the cable length required and reducing the influence of noise.

High Energy High Intensity Hadron Beams EXPERIMENTS ON LHC LONG-RANGE BEAM-BEAM COMPENSATION IN THE CERN SPS
Long-range beam-beam collisions may limit the dynamic aperture and the beam lifetime in colliders. Their effect can be compensated by a current-carrying wire mounted parallel to the beam. A compensation scheme based on this principle has been proposed for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). To demonstrate its viability, a prototype wire was installed at the CERN SPS in 2002. First successful machi...
متن کاملGlobal Compensation of Long-range Beam-beam Interactions with Multipole Correctors
To control the nonlinear effects of long-range beambeam interactions due to a large number of non-localized parasitic collisions, we propose a global compensation scheme for long-range beam-beam interactions by using magnetic multipole correctors based on a minimization of nonlinearities in one-turn maps of a storage ring collider. Simulation study on a test model that is similar to LHC showed ...
متن کاملLong-Range Beam–Beam Compensation Using Wires
At the LHC, the effect of unavoidable long-range beam–beam collisions reduces the dynamic aperture, calling for a minimum crossing angle. A wire compensator partially cancels the effect of the long-range collisions, and may allow operation with reduced crossing angle or decreased beta function at the interaction point, thereby increasing the (virtual) peak luminosity. In this chapter, we descri...
متن کاملLong-range and head-on beam-beam compensation studies in RHIC with lessons for the LHC
Long-range as well as head-on beam-beam effects are expected to limit the LHC performance with design parameters. They are are also important consideration for the LHC upgrades. To mitigate long-range effects, current carrying wires parallel to the beam were proposed. Two such wires are installed in RHIC where they allow studying the effect of strong long-range beam-beam effects, as well as the...
متن کاملObservation of Long-range Beam-beam Effect in Rhic and Plans for Compensation∗
At large distances the electromagnetic field of a wire is the same as the field produced by a bunch. Such a longrange beam-beam wire compensator was proposed for the LHC, and single beam tests with wire compensators were successfully done in the SPS. RHIC offers the possibility to test the compensation scheme with colliding beams. We report on measurements of beam losses as a function of transv...
متن کاملBeam-Beam Compensation Schemes
Several techniques have been proposed for compensating the effects of the head-on or long-range beam-beam interaction. These include alternating crossing at several interaction points, electromagnetic wires, electron lenses, and superbunches. I discuss some prominent compensation schemes and their R&D status, with special emphasis on the LHC and its upgrade. 1 HISTORY AND PERSPECTIVE The beam-b...
