ZDR - Simulation Studies of the NLC Main Linacs
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study was published as part of the Next Linear Collider (NLC) Zeroth order Design Report (ZDR) [1]. It addresses the problems of transporting very small emittance beams in the main linacs of the NLC. Several mechanisms of emittance dilution and correction are calculated in detail. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the NLC main linac design under the assumption that the speci ed device tolerances are met. The full text of the ZDR is available on the WWW under \http://www.slac.stanford.edu/accel/nlc/zdr/".

Beam-Based Alignment of the NLC Main Linac, Part One: Single-Bunch Comparative Study of Three Algorithms
We describe the results of a series of simulation studies of beam-based alignment of the NLC main linacs using the program LIAR. Three algorithms for alignment of quadrupoles and girders are considered: the algorithm used in the ZDR, the ZDR algorithm combined with a post-alignment MICADO operation, and an algorithm which requires no steering dipoles but requires twice as many alignment segment...
متن کاملEmittance and Trajectory Control in the Main Linacs of the Nlc
The main linacs of the next generation of linear colliders need to accelerate the particle beams to energies of up to 750 GeV while maintaining very small emittances. This paper describes the main mechanisms of static emittance growth in the main linacs of the Next Linear Collider (NLC). We present detailed simulations of the trajectory and emittance control algorithms that are foreseen for the...
متن کاملEmittance Dilution Due to Slow Alignment Drifts in the Main Linacs of the Nlc
The tight tolerances in the main linacs of the Next Linear Collider (NLC) result in a large sensitivity of the beam emittance to slow alignment drifts. Once the accelerator is tuned, the optimized emittances must be maintained. Slow alignment drifts will make resteering and reoptimization necessary. The frequency of these linac reoptimizations is an important parameter that determines how well ...
متن کاملOperation and Expected Performance of the NLC
‘The main linacs for the proposed Next Linear Collider (NLC) provide acceleration of up to 500 GeV per beam. The linacs operate in a regime where unavoidable imperfections and even natural ground motion cause significant emittance dilutions. In order to achieve the NLC luminosity goals, small emittance beams must be transported with an emittance growth of less than SLAC-PUB-7354 November 1996 O...
متن کاملParameter Optimization for the Low Frequency Linacs in the Nlc ∗
In the present Next Linear Collider (NLC) design, S and L-band linacs are used to accelerate the beams to 10 GeV, where they are injected into the main X-band linacs. As injectors for the main accelerator, these linacs are required to deliver clean beams while being reliable and cost effective. These requirements set stringent tolerances on the design of the accelerators. There are two types of...
