10. LARPAC 05/11/2006 - Shiltsev 10 DoE Review of LARP November 2005 “The review committee was very pleased with the presentations on beam instrumentation and accelerator physics. In addition, they found the idea of participation in the development of a remote control room a very interesting possibility for enhancing interactions with CERN from afar via the Fermilab project “LHC@FNAL”. Plans for commissioning of LHC hardware are already being implemented, with the first U.S. staff member (Peter Limon) already stationed at CERN. It was reported by management that U.S. laboratories will provide staffing for this effort, and, in fact, FNAL has committed seven persons to this task. LARP and CERN will cover costs of travel and additional living expenses in the Geneva area. Finally, the committee again emphasized its displeasure with the lack of formality in dealings of LARP, and strongly recommended a more effective bookkeeping system for managing expenses and progress on all active tasks, and a person who would be responsible for implementing such a system”.

32. LARPAC 05/11/2006 - Shiltsev 32 Flux Jumps An accelerator magnet would need to demonstrate no or sufficiently small fluctuations How small? preliminary estimates show that 1 unit of d(b3) will result in ~2 units of Q’ jumps if residual dispersion controlled to better than 1 cm at I tune jumps and nonlinear effects need to be studied (AccelPhys)

33. LARPAC 05/11/2006 - Shiltsev 33 dB/B Fluctuations LHC tolerance: dB/B~3e-10 LHC screen: light and feels 20 K He flow turbulence; B-flux is constant at 3kHz  dB/B ~ dR/R  need dR < 1A to blow horizontal emittance First attempts at CERN (2006): ~1e-8 noise in quad/no screen ~1e-7 with air flow

39. LARPAC 05/11/2006 - Shiltsev 39 Challenges of Head-On Compensation Total current is not a challenge Optimum beam profile (vs bunchlength/beta*, Qx,y) Compression to 0.3-0.5 mm is doable, though not easy Keeping beam straight within 0.03-0.05 mm Beam-beam centering within 0.03-0.05 mm Will bending sections do harm?

Is there a better distribution? –from first principles, theory, analytical consideration –Effects are beta_TEL/beta*/sigma_z; or dP/P –check in numerical tracking Importance of e-pbar(p) interaction in bending sections –Which of three configurations is better? –Is the choice tune dependent? Lifetime deterioration due to e-p misalignment: –e-beam straightness tolerances –relative e-p displacement, angle Effect of low-frequency variations dJ, dX on beam lifetime Ion cleaning efficiency tolerances Cross-interaction with wires in LHC – if there is any e-beam effect on coherent stability or strong-strong beam-beam effects

50. LARPAC 05/11/2006 - Shiltsev 50 L2 Leader: Tom Markiewicz (SLAC) FY06 budget 850 k$ Goals: –The LHC cleaning system must have exceptional efficiency to meet its design parameters, significantly beyond the state-of- the-art that is achieved in existing colliders. It is crucial for the success of the LHC that different paths are explored in order to optimize the design, hardware and operational procedures for the LHC collimation system. In view of the exceptional difficulty for the LHC it is essential to pursue parallel R&D studies in- and outside of CERN. The phased approach for the LHC collimation system will allow to test various proposals and to implement the best solutions in an already defined upgrade path to nominal performance. The LHC Collimator R&D will complement the work at CERN and will be performed in close L3 tasks: –Cleaning Efficiency Studies –Rotating Collimators R&D –Tertiary Collimators Studies –Material Irradiation Studies 1.3 LHC Collimation R&D

51. LARPAC 05/11/2006 - Shiltsev 51 L3 Leader: Angelika Drees (BNL) FY06 budget 50 k$ Goals: –The ultimate goal of this sub program is to bench mark code(s), in particular SIXTRACKwColl, in a variety of aspects with RHIC beams. –We plan to install and implement at BNL accelerator tracking code identical with the one used at CERN (K2, SIXTRACK with Collimators, i.e. SIXTRACKwColl) and perform simulations of collimation efficiencies and loss maps which will then be compared to simulation results from earlier studies done at RHIC with other codes (Teapot, K2, ACCSIM) and with data. Various data sets at two energies are available. –During the RHIC proton run collimator setup procedures should be implemented into the RHIC control system and tested with beam under real operating conditions. 1.3.1 Cleaning Efficiency Studies

52. LARPAC 05/11/2006 - Shiltsev 52 FY2006: –debug the code –compare with other simulation and data, test setup procedures, –finish reports Cleaning Efficiency Studies: Overall Plan

53. LARPAC 05/11/2006 - Shiltsev 53 L3 Leader: Tom Markiewicz (SLAC) FY06 budget 720 k$ Goals: –The ultimate goal is a successful design for low impedance, high efficiency LHC secondary collimators. The design will be validated with a sufficient but small (1-3) number of prototypes and beam tests. The design specifications and the prototypes are the primary deliverables. The time scale is set by the desirability of testing the prototypes with LHC beam in 2008/09. Then, CERN will decide whether or not to proceed with the rotating collimator design. If a decision is made to proceed, this sub-project will provide an engineering drawing package to CERN and will support the effort to commission the collimators once they are manufactured and installed by CERN. 1.3.2 Rotating Collimators

64. LARPAC 05/11/2006 - Shiltsev 64 L2 Leader: Michael Syphers (FNAL) FY06 budget 1,140 k$ Goals: –There is an overall benefit to the U.S. high-energy physics program if the LHC turns on rapidly and successfully. Our experimental physics groups have invested heavily in the LHC project, and the science produced there thus represents a return on the U.S. investment. A healthy and strong HEP activity at LHC will surely be necessary to secure future accelerator-based HEP projects in the U.S. The information gained during the commissioning will be available in a timely manner and will have maximum positive effect on U.S. plans for LHC L3 tasks: –Beam Commissioning –Hardware Commissioning –Toohig Fellowship –New Initiatives 1.2 LHC Commissioning
