    Simulation of an Intra-Pulse Interaction Point Feedback for Future Linear Colliders

    Get PDF
    In future normal-conducting linear colliders, the beams will be delivered in short bursts with a length of the order of 100 ns. The pulses will be separated by several ms. In order to maintain high luminosity, feedback is necessary on a pulse-to-pulse basis. In addition, intra-pulse feedback that can correct beam positions and angles within one pulse seem technically feasible. The likely performances of different feedback options are simulated for the NLC (Next Linear Collider) and CLIC (Compact Linear Collider).Comment: LINAC2000 Conference, Paper ID MOA0

    Beam Dynamics Simulation for the CTF3 Drive-Beam Accelerator

    Get PDF
    A new CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) at CERN will serve to study the drive beam generation for the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). CTF3 has to accelerate a 3.5 A electron beam in almost fully-loaded structures. The pulse contains more than 2000 bunches, one in every second RF bucket, and has a length of more than one microsecond. Different options for the lattice of the drive-beam accelerator are presented, based on FODO-cells and triplets as well as solenoids. The transverse stability is simulated, including the effects of beam jitter, alignment and beam-based correction.Comment: LINAC2000 Conference, Paper No MOA0

    Beam Loading Compensation in the Main Linac of CLIC

    Get PDF
    Compensation of multi-bunch beam loading is of great importance in the main linac of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). The bunch-to-bunch energy variation has to stay below 1 part in 1000. In CLIC, the RF power is obtained by decelerating a drive beam which is formed by merging a number of short bunch trains. A promising scheme for tackling beam loading in the main linac is based on varying the lengths of the bunch trains in the drive beam. The scheme and its expected performance are presented.Comment: LINAC 2000, paper ID MOA0

    Beam-induced backgrounds in the CLIC 3 TeV CM energy interaction region

    Full text link
    Luminosity spectrum and accelerator background levels strongly influence the experimental conditions and have an important impact on detector design. The expected rates of the main beam-beam products at CLIC 3 TeV CM energy, taking into account for machine imperfections, are computed. Among the other machine-induced background the photon fans from the Incoherent Synchrotron Radiation (ISR) photons emitted in the final doublet are evaluated.Comment: Proceedings of LCWS1

    First Evaluation of Dynamic Aperture at Injection for FCC-hh

    Full text link
    In the Hadron machine option, proposed in the context of the Future Circular Colliders (FCC) study, the dipole field quality is expected to play an important role, as in the LHC. A preliminary evaluation of the field quality of dipoles, based on the Nb3_{3}Sn technology, has been provided by the magnet group. The effect of these field imperfections on the dynamic aperture, using the present lattice design, is presented and first tolerances on the b3_3 and b5_5 multipole components are evaluated

    Multi-Bunch calculations in the CLIC Main LINAC

    Get PDF
    In the main linac of the compact linear collider (CLIC [1]) , wakefield induced multi-bunch effects are important. They have a strong impact on the choice of accelerating structure design. The paper presents the limit for the wakefield that one bunch exerts on the next. It also gives estimates for the allowed level of persistent wake fields and on the resistive wall wakefield

    Beam-based alignment in the new CLIC Main LINAC

    Get PDF
    In the main linac of the compact linear collider (CLIC) the beam induced wakefield and dispersive effects will be strong. In the paper the reference beam-based alignment procedure for the new CLIC parameters is specified and the resulting tolerances for static imperfections are detailed

    Beam Dynamics Studies for the CLIC Main Linac

    Full text link
    The implications of long-range wakefields on the beam quality are investigated through a detailed beam dynamics study. Injection offsets are considered and the resulting emittance dilution recorded, including systematic sources of error. These simulations have been conducted for damped and detuned structures (DDS) and for waveguide damped structures-both for the CLIC collider.Comment: 3 pages, 6 figures, IPAC1

    Regular Incidence Complexes, Polytopes, and C-Groups

    Full text link
    Regular incidence complexes are combinatorial incidence structures generalizing regular convex polytopes, regular complex polytopes, various types of incidence geometries, and many other highly symmetric objects. The special case of abstract regular polytopes has been well-studied. The paper describes the combinatorial structure of a regular incidence complex in terms of a system of distinguished generating subgroups of its automorphism group or a flag-transitive subgroup. Then the groups admitting a flag-transitive action on an incidence complex are characterized as generalized string C-groups. Further, extensions of regular incidence complexes are studied, and certain incidence complexes particularly close to abstract polytopes, called abstract polytope complexes, are investigated.Comment: 24 pages; to appear in "Discrete Geometry and Symmetry", M.

    Infrared spectroscopic study of phonons coupled to charge excitations in FeSi

    Get PDF
    From an investigation of the optical conductivity of FeSi single crystals using FTIR spectroscopy in the frequency range from 30 to 20000 wavenumbers we conclude that the transverse effective charge of the Fe and Si ions is approximately 4e. Of the five optical phonons which are allowed by symmetry we observe only four, three of which have a Fano line shape presumably resulting from an interaction of these modes with the electronic continuum. We show that the large oscillator strength of the phonons results from a relatively weak coupling (lambda of the order of 0.1) of the lattice degrees of freedom to an electronic resonance above the semiconductor gap, which is also responsible for the large electronic polarizability of the medium.Comment: Revtex, 10 pages, 2 postscript pictures, to be published in Phys.
