Compensation of Beam-beam Effects in the Tevatron Collider with Electron Beams
نویسندگان
چکیده
The beam-beam interaction in the Tevatron collider sets limits on bunch intensity and luminosity. These limits are caused by a tune spread in each bunch which is mostly due to head-on collisions, but there is also a bunch-to-bunch tune spread due to parasitic collisions in multibunch operation. We propose to compensate these effects with use of a countertraveling electron beam, and present general considerations and physics limitations of this technique.

Space-Charge Compensation in Proton Boosters
Recently, it was proposed to use negatively charged electron beams for compensation of beam-beam effects due to protons in the Tevatron collider [1]. We show that a similar compensation is possible in space-charge dominated low energy proton beams. The idea has a potential of several-fold increase of the FNAL Booster beam brightness. Best results will be obtained using three electron lenses aro...

متن کاملCollimation with Hollow Electron Beams: A Proposed Design for the LHC Upgrade
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...
متن کاملElectron Lenses for Compensation of Beam-beam Effects: Tevatrotron, Rhic, Lhc
Since previous BEAM’06 workshop a year ago, significant progress has been made in the field of beambeam compensation (BBC) – it has been experimentally demonstrated that both Tevatron Electron Lenses (TEL) significantly improve proton and luminosity lifetimes in high-luminosity stores. This article summarizes these results and discusses prospects of the BBC in Tevatron, RHIC and LHC.
متن کاملElectron Beam Distortions in Beam-Beam Compensation Setup
This article is devoted to electron beam distortions in the “electron compressor” setup for beam-beam compensation in the Tevatron collider. The distortions are due to interaction of the electron beam with impacting elliptical antiproton beam. We estimate of longitudinal magnetic field necessary to keep the distortions low.
