Degradation of Multibunch Luminosity in a Linear Collider Due to Cumulative Beam Breakup
Beam-excited transverse wakes in accelerating radiofrequency structures will influence the transverse offsets of each bunch in a multibunch train, causing the projected emittance of the bunch train to grow. An analytic theory of this phenomenon that includes the mitigating influence of a correlated energy spread across the bunch train was recently devised and applied to electron-positron linear colliders. We use the results of this theory to estimate analytically the associated degradation of multibunch luminosity in terms of top-level parameters for the two beams, the two accelerators, and the final-focus system. Then we compare the estimates with results from GUINEA-PIG, a code that includes the detailed physics of beam-beam interactions
Accelerator physics issues for the Very Large Hadron Collider
The goal of the Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC) is to extend the energy frontier beyond LHC. The proposed design center of mass energy for the VLHC pp collider is 100 TeV, with a luminosity of 1*10/sup 34 / cm/sup -2/ sec/sup -1/ and an integrated luminosity of about 100 fb /sup -1/ per year. In this paper we present a summary of work conducted during a workshop and issues we feel are most important. Accelerator Physics issues and design aspects specific to both the high field and low field magnet technologies were studied, including the general accelerator parameters, beam stability issues, magnet field quality and the R&D needed to relax the accelerator component tolerances. This paper summarizes the accelerator physics R&D the VLHC Accelerator Physics Working Group members are undertaking. (13 refs)
Considerations for an Ac Dipole for the LHC
Following successful experience at the BNL AGS, FNAL Tevatron, and CERN SPS,
an AC Dipole will be adopted at the LHC for rapid measurements of ring optics.
This paper describes some of the parameters of the AC dipole for the LHC,
scaling from performance of the FNAL and BNL devices.Comment: proceedings of the 2007 Particle Accelerator Conferenc
Edge Theories for Polarized Quantum Hall States
Starting from recently proposed bosonic mean field theories for fully and
partially polarized quantum Hall states, we construct corresponding effective
low energy theories for the edge modes. The requirements of gauge symmetry and
invariance under global O(3) spin rotations, broken only by a Zeeman coupling,
imply boundary conditions that allow for edge spin waves. In the generic case,
these modes are chiral, and the spin stiffness differs from that in the bulk.
For the case of a fully polarized state, our results agree with
previous Hartree-Fock calculations.Comment: 15 pages (number of pages has been reduced by typesetting in RevTeX);

Parametrization of the Driven Betatron Oscillation
An AC dipole is a magnet which produces a sinusoidally oscillating dipole
field and excites coherent transverse beam motion in a synchrotron. By
observing this coherent motion, the optical parameters can be directly measured
at the beam position monitor locations. The driven oscillation induced by an AC
dipole will generate a phase space ellipse which differs from that of the free
oscillation. If not properly accounted for, this difference can lead to a
misinterpretation of the actual optical parameters, for instance, of 6% or more
in the cases of the Tevatron, RHIC, or LHC. The effect of an AC dipole on the
linear optics parameters is identical to that of a thin lens quadrupole. By
introducing a new amplitude function to describe this new phase space ellipse,
the motion produced by an AC dipole becomes easier to interpret. Beam position
data taken under the influence of an AC dipole, with this new interpretation in
mind, can lead to more precise measurements of the normal Courant-Snyder
parameters. This new parameterization of the driven motion is presented and is
used to interpret data taken in the FNAL Tevatron using an AC dipole.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures, and 1 tabl
