Beam-beam effects investigation and parameters optimization for a circular e+e- collider TLEP to study the Higgs boson
Several proposals exist for future circular electron-positron colliders
designed for precise measurements of the Higgs boson characteristics and
electroweak processes. At very high energies, synchrotron radiation of the
particles in a strong electromagnetic field of the oncoming bunch
(beamstrahlung) becomes extremely important, because of degradation of the beam
lifetime and luminosity. We present theoretical calculations of beamstrahlung
(including the beam lifetime reduction and the energy spread increase) which
are benchmarked against quasi strong-strong computer simulation. Calculation
results are used to optimize TLEP project (CERN).Comment: 17 pages, 2 tables, 9 figure
Synchrotron oscillation damping due to beam-beam collisions
In DA{\Phi}NE, the Frascati e+/e- collider, the crab waist collision scheme
has been successfully implemented in 2008 and 2009. During the collision
operations for Siddharta experiment, an unusual synchrotron damping effect has
been observed. Indeed, with the longitudinal feedback switched off, the
positron beam becomes unstable with beam currents in the order of 200-300 mA.
The longitudinal instability is damped by bringing the positron beam in
collision with a high current electron beam (~2A). Besides, we have observed a
shift of \approx 600Hz in the residual synchrotron sidebands. Precise
measurements have been performed by using both a commercial spectrum analyzer
and the diagnostics capabilities of the DA{\Phi}NE longitudinal bunch-by-bunch
feedback. This damping effect has been observed in DA{\Phi}NE for the first
time during collisions with the crab waist scheme. Our explanation is that beam
collisions with a large crossing angle produce a longitudinal tune shift and a
longitudinal tune spread, providing Landau damping of synchrotron oscillations.Comment: 3 pages, 5 figures, talk presented to IPAC'10 - Kyoto - May 24-28
