Beam Parameter Measurements for the Slac Linear Collider*

چکیده
A stable, closely-controlled, high-intensity, single-bunch beam will be required for the SLAC Linear Collider. The characteristics of shortpulse, low-intensity beams in the SLAC linac have been studied. A new, high-intensity thermionic gun, subharmonic buncher and S-band buncherl accelerator section were installed recently at SLAC. With these components, up to 1011 electrons in a single S-band bunch are available for injection into the linac. The first 100-m accelerator sector has been modified to allow control of short-pulse beams by a model-driven computer program. Additional instrumentation, including a computerized energy analyzer and emittance monitor have been added at the end of the 100-m sector. The beam intensity, energy spectrum, emittance, charge distribution and the effect of wake fields in the first accelerator sector have been measured. The new source and beam control system will be described and the most recent results of the beam parameter measurements will be discussed.

Observation of beam-beam deflections at the interaction point of the SLAC Linear Collider.
We report the first direct observation of the electromagnetic deflection of high --energy electron and positron beams as they pass each other with small impact _. -parameters. ‘Measurements of the deflection amplitude are found in agreement with theoretical expectations. This phenomenon, which is sensitive both to the relative position of the two beams and to their transverse sizes, has been us...

A survey of beam instruments used at SLAC in the SLC machine is presented. The basic utility and operation of each device is briefly described. The various beam instruments [l] used at the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC), [2,3] can be classified by the function they perform. Beam intensity, position and size are typical of the parameters of beam which are measured. Each type of parameter is impo...
متن کاملBeam-beam Deflection as a Beam Tuning Tool at the Slac Linear Collider
To achieve maximam integrated luminosity at the SLAC Linear Collider, a method of noninvasive beam tuning is required . Traditional luminosity monitors based on Bhabha scattering are inadequate because of low instantaneous counting rates. Coherent deflections of one beam by the electromagnetic field of the other are sensitive not only to the relative steering of the two bunches but also to thei...

At SLAC we are currently involved in the exciting challenge of commissioning the first example of a new type of colliding beam accelerator, the SLAC Linear Collider, or SLC. The goals of the SLC are twc+fold. It will explore the concept of linear colliders, and it will allow the study of physics on the Z” resonance. It accomplishes these goals by exploiting the existing SLAC linac and the large...
متن کاملThe Electromagnetic Background Environment for the Interaction-point Beam Feedback System at the International Linear Collider
The Interaction Point (IP) feedback system is essential for maintaining the luminosity at the International Linear Collider (ILC). It is necessary to demonstrate the performance of the feedback beam position monitor (BPM) in an electron-positron pair background similar to that expected in the ILC interaction region (IR). We have simulated the ILC beam-beam interactions and used a GEANT model of...
