Currently we can achieve ~100  m accuracy/resolution

18. V. Kamerdzhiev for BBC teamTechnological aspects of Electron Lenses, errors and control 18 Summary The e-beam quality in both TELs reached the level that made reproducible demonstration of beam-beam compensation possible. Generating dc e-beam does not appear very challenging, however generating pulsed beam (individual compensation of all bunches) does. Though the voltage itself is not a challenge – short rise time and high rep rate requirements make the development of the e-gun driver very challenging. The solid state Marx generator proved to be a reliable electron gun driver (with radiation shielding installed).

19. V. Kamerdzhiev for BBC teamTechnological aspects of Electron Lenses, errors and control 19 Plans Further reduce e-beam noise and ripple Simulate the effects of e-beam noise, ripple on beam lifetime and emittance growth (Lifetrac) Upgrade HV pulse generators (second generation Marx and solid-state modulator based on a summed pulse transformer scheme),  multi-bunch BBCompensation Install gaussian electron guns and perform head-on compensation studies (dc or pulsed) Study the effect of electron beam size on protons (lifetime, halo, Schottky) in both TELs Improve position measurement
