High Brightness Proton Beams for Lhc: Needs and Means
Experiments [1, 2] have proven that the LHC injector chain can deliver a proton beam with the nominal characteristics (bunch intensity Nb=1.15×10 protons per bunch (ppb) in normalised rms transverse emittances of εn,x,y=3.5 μmrad), but cannot reach the ultimate performance (1.7×10 ppb in the same emittances). Moreover, in the longer term, an even higher beam brightness Nb/εn is required by all ...
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 کاملWhat is an acceptable dynamic vacuum pressure in the LHC arcs?
Beam-gas nuclear and Coulomb interactions introduce limitations on the tolerable vacuum pressure in the LHC and its upgrade. We discuss local pressure limits set by the heat load on the cryogenics system and by loss-induced quenches, as well as average pressure limits imposed by beam-lifetime degradation and emittance blow up. These pressure limits depend on the molecular species in the residua...
متن کاملLimitations due to Electron-Cloud Heat Load for the LHC and its Upgrade
In the LHC beam pipe, an electron cloud can build up due to photoemission from synchrotron radiation and via a beam-induced multipacting process. This electron cloud gives rise to an additional heat load on the beam screen which protects the cold bore of the superconducting magnets. The heat load from the electron cloud depends on beam parameters such as the bunch intensity, the number of bunch...
متن کاملGround Motion in Lep and Lhc
It is well known that large colliders, linear or circular, with small beam sizes are prone to ground motion effects.The effect of seismic perturbations on machine performance has been the subject of several studies[1,2,3,4]. The object of this paper is to report on the results obtained with a dedicated beam position monitor, concerning ground motion effects on the LEP beams. Since the ultimate ...
