The FCC-ee Interaction Region Magnet Design
The design of the region close to the interaction point of the FCC-ee
experiments is especially challenging. The beams collide at an angle (+-15
mrad) in the high-field region of the detector solenoid. Moreover, the very low
vertical beta_y* of the machine necessitates that the final focusing
quadrupoles have a distance from the IP (L*) of around 2 m and therefore are
inside the main detector solenoid. The beams should be screened from the effect
of the detector magnetic field, and the emittance blow-up due to vertical
dispersion in the interaction region should be minimized, while leaving enough
space for detector components. Crosstalk between the two final focus
quadrupoles, only about 6 cm apart at the tip, should also be minimized.Comment: Poster presented at IPAC16, May 8-13, Busan, Kore
Performance of Multi-Pixel Photon Counters for the T2K near detectors
We have developed a Multi-Pixel Photon Counter (MPPC) for the neutrino
detectors of T2K experiment. About 64,000 MPPCs have been produced and tested
in about a year. In order to characterize a large number of MPPCs, we have
developed a system that simultaneously measures 64 MPPCs with various bias
voltage and temperature. The performance of MPPCs are found to satisfy the
requirement of T2K experiment. In this paper, we present the performance of
17,686 MPPCs measured at Kyoto University.Comment: 15 pages, 14 figure
Design of beam optics for the Future Circular Collider e+e- -collider rings
A beam optics scheme has been designed for the Future Circular Collider-e+e-
(FCC-ee). The main characteristics of the design are: beam energy 45 to 175
GeV, 100 km circumference with two interaction points (IPs) per ring,
horizontal crossing angle of 30 mrad at the IP and the crab-waist scheme [1]
with local chromaticity correction. The crab-waist scheme is implemented within
the local chromaticity correction system without additional sextupoles, by
reducing the strength of one of the two sextupoles for vertical chromatic
correction at each side of the IP. So-called "tapering" of the magnets is
applied, which scales all fields of the magnets according to the local beam
energy to compensate for the effect of synchrotron radiation (SR) loss along
the ring. An asymmetric layout near the interaction region reduces the critical
energy of SR photons on the incoming side of the IP to values below 100 keV,
while matching the geometry to the beam line of the FCC proton collider
(FCC-hh) [2] as closely as possible. Sufficient transverse/longitudinal dynamic
aperture (DA) has been obtained, including major dynamical effects, to assure
an adequate beam lifetime in the presence of beamstrahlung and top-up
injection. In particular, a momentum acceptance larger than +/-2% has been
obtained, which is better than the momentum acceptance of typical collider
rings by about a factor of 2. The effects of the detector solenoids including
their compensation elements are taken into account as well as synchrotron
radiation in all magnets. The optics presented in this paper is a step toward a
full conceptual design for the collider. A number of issues have been
identified for further study
A High Luminosity e+e- Collider to study the Higgs Boson
A strong candidate for the Standard Model Scalar boson, H(126), has been
discovered by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. In order to study
this fundamental particle with unprecedented precision, and to perform
precision tests of the closure of the Standard Model, we investigate the
possibilities offered by An e+e- storage ring collider. We use a design
inspired by the B-factories, taking into account the performance achieved at
LEP2, and imposing a synchrotron radiation power limit of 100 MW. At the most
relevant centre-of-mass energy of 240 GeV, near-constant luminosities of 10^34
cm^{-2}s^{-1} are possible in up to four collision points for a ring of 27km
circumference. The achievable luminosity increases with the bending radius, and
for 80km circumference, a luminosity of 5 10^34 cm^{-2}s^{-1} in four collision
points appears feasible. Beamstrahlung becomes relevant at these high
luminosities, leading to a design requirement of large momentum acceptance both
in the accelerating system and in the optics. The larger machine could reach
the top quark threshold, would yield luminosities per interaction point of
10^36 cm^{-2}s^{-1} at the Z pole (91 GeV) and 2 10^35 cm^{-2}s^{-1} at the W
pair production threshold (80 GeV per beam). The energy spread is reduced in
the larger ring with respect to what is was at LEP, giving confidence that beam
polarization for energy calibration purposes should be available up to the W
pair threshold. The capabilities in term of physics performance are outlined.Comment: Submitted to the European Strategy Preparatory Group 01-04-2013 new

Adiabatic Focuser
Theoretical analysis is made of an intense relativistic electron beam. such as would be available from a linear collider, moving through a plasma of increasing density, but density always less than that of the beam (underdense). In this situation. the plasma electrons are expelled from the beam channel and the electrons are subject to an ever-increasing focusing force provided by the channel ions. Analysis is made on the beam radiation energy loss in the classical, the transition, and the quantum regimes. It is shown that the focuser is insensitive to the beam energy spread due to radiation loss. Furthermore, because of the different scaling behaviors in the nonclassical regimes, the radiation limit on lenses (the Oide limit) can be exceeded. The sensitivity of the system to the optic mismatch and the nonlinearity is also analyzed. Examples are given with SLC-type and TLC-type parameters
Machine detector interface for the future circular collider
The international Future Circular Collider (FCC) study aims at a design of
, , colliders to be built in a new 100 km tunnel in the Geneva
region. The collider (FCC-ee) has a centre of mass energy range
between 90 (Z-pole) and 375 GeV (tt_bar). To reach such unprecedented energies
and luminosities, the design of the interaction region is crucial. The
crab-waist collision scheme has been chosen for the design and it will be
compatible with all beam energies. In this paper we will describe the machine
detector interface layout including the solenoid compensation scheme. We will
describe how this layout fulfills all the requirements set by the parameters
table and by the physical constraints. We will summarize the studies of the
impact of the synchrotron radiation, the analysis of trapped modes and of the
backgrounds induced by single beam and luminosity effects giving an estimate of
the losses in the interaction region and in the detector.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures, 62th ICFA ABDW on High Luminosity Circular
