A Search for Coupled-bunch Instability in the Fermilab Main Injector
نویسنده
چکیده
In the Fermilab Main Injector (MI) we are planning to double the bunch intensity from its design value by slip stacking. The accelerator consists of 18 rf cavities which operate at a harmonic number of 588. These cavities are known to have many higher ordered resonances. Longitudinal coupled-bunch instability induced by excitation of the rf cavities may be an important issue to be addressed in the intensity upgrade. Here we have carried out some simulation studies of the longitudinal coupled bunch instability to investigate bunch intensity limits. The results are presented in this paper.

Selective Resonant Extraction from the Fermilab Main Injector Using Electron Lens
We propose to use an electron lens for slow extraction of proton bunches from the Fermilab Main Injector. Negatively charged electron beam colliding with protons causes positive tune shift proportional to the electron current. If the resulting tune satisfies resonance condition, protons move to larger betatron amplitudes as in conventional slow extraction systems. Time variation of the electron...
متن کاملSimulations of Transition Crossing in the Main Injector
The design goal for the Fermilab Main Injector (FMI) is to accelerate a minimum of 6 10 protons per bunch through the transition. We present here the results from simulation studies of the transition crossing in the FMI using the particle tracking code ESME[1].
متن کاملBeam Test of a Superconducting Cavity for the Fermilab High-brightness Electron Photo-injector
An electron photo-injector facility has been constructed at Fermilab for the purpose of providing a 14–18 MeV electron beam with high charge per bunch (8 nC), short bunch length (1 mm RMS), and small transverse emittance [1]. The facility was used to commission a second-generation photo-cathode RF gun for the TeSLA Test Facility (TTF) Linac at DESY [2, 3]; in the future, the Fermilab electron b...

This contribution reports on the present status, measurements of energy acceptance as well as studies on coupled bunch-by-bunch instability. Requirements for BESSY VS...
متن کاملLongitudinal emittance monitoring in the Fermilab Main Injector using Intensity and RMS width sampled bunch data
For Run II, 36 by 36 proton and antiproton bunches will be collided in the Tevatron during accelerator operations. The probability of successful collisions is dependent on the luminosity levels achieved during the acceleration cycles. Longitudinal emittance, a measure of the phase-space area occupied by the particles in an rf bucket, directly affects luminosity. As a result, diagnosing and elim...
