crab cavity meeting

CERN, 3 December 2007

 

participants: R. Calaga, U. Dorda, M. Giovannozzi, Y.-P. Sun, R. Tomas, F. Zimmermann

 

 

(1) Crab-Cavity Scenarios, Rogelio Tomas 

 

Vertical crab cavities are attrative.

Small radius at 800 MZ: 17.25 cm

1 cavity per beam

separation between beams 19.4 cm

4 cm radius beam pipe where beams are separate

cavity shape can be adjusted

beta<0.5 km

 

horizontal crab cavity in IR4

beam1-beam2 separation in IR4: 40 cm

beta<300 m at present

Masamitsu is developing high-beta option which could have larger beta

need free space of ~10 m length

 

Rama: only 1 prototype if AES is building one;

issues with noise, only one beam, may improve experiment only for one experiment

 

phase 0: Testing

1 hor. CC in IR4, 0.7 sigma at 1 sigma_z

OR

1 or 2 vertical CCs in IR5

 

in the case of a single common cavity,

coupling between beams via the cavity could be a problem;

LOM damping not required

damp only HOMs

can be installed anywhere

010 fundamental-mode cavity is automatically smaller than the higher-order cavity

spoke-like cavity

 

phase 1:

global, delta CO~1.6 sigma_z at 1 sigma_z

can one increase cleaning efficiency at higher (i.e. 8) sigma?

 

phase 2:...

 

AES work is for prototype used in phase 0,

which can/will be the conventional type.

 

Rama presented flower shape 010 design (and spoke cavity scheme)

 

 

(2) LHC optics results & crab-cavity simulations, Yi-Peng Sun

 

excellent summary of paper by Chao and Hoffstaetter

 

comments:

Figure 9 + 4 in contradiction to conclusion?

apply these formulae to LHC tunes and LHC parameters?

determine sideband strength by FFT of tracking data for crossing angle only, crossing angle and crab cavity, and crab cavity only; perhaps also for 400 and 800 MHz
