1. Update of the SPS transverse impedance model Benoit for the impedance team

2. Status of the impedance model Elements included in the database: –6.911 km beam pipe (Zotter/Metral analytical calculations for a round pipe including indirect space charge, transformed with Yokoya factor) –20 kickers (situation during 2006 run, analytical calculations with Tsutsui model) –106 BPHs (CST 3D simulations) –96 BPVs (CST 3D simulations) –2 TW 200 MHz cavities (4 sections of 11 cells) without couplers (CST 3D simulations) –2 TW 200 MHz cavities (5 sections of 11 cells) without couplers (CST 3D simulations) Some of the assumptions we need to make: –Ideal electromagnetic material properties (copper, ferrite) –Transverse kick is linear with transverse displacement –Simplified geometries: kicker Beam pipe BPH BPV TW 200 MHz

3. Chosen elements : - 106 BPHs (CST 3D simulations) - 96 BPVs (CST 3D simulations) - 6.911 km beam pipe (Zotter/Metral analytical calculations for a round pipe including indirect space charge, transformed with Yokoya factor) - 20 kickers (situation during 2006 run, analytical calculations with Tsutsui model) - 2 TW 200 MHz cavities (4 sections of 11 cells) without couplers (CST 3D simulations) - 2 TW 200 MHz cavities (5 sections of 11 cells) without couplers (CST 3D simulations) Current SPS impedance Model: vertical plane Additional assumptions: - all impedances lumped in one location - no space charge, no linear coupling, no chromaticity - no amplitude detuning - linear longitudinal restoring force Mode spectrum as a function of bunch current 1 st small instability: Nb=4 10 10 p/b 2 nd large instability: Nb=8 10 10 p/b stableunstablestable unstable Strong damping

4. Current SPS impedance Model: horizontal plane Mode spectrum as a function of bunch current stable Strong damping

5. Chosen elements : - 106 BPHs (CST 3D simulations) - 96 BPVs (CST 3D simulations) - 6.911 km beam pipe (Zotter/Metral analytical calculations for a round pipe including indirect space charge, transformed with Yokoya factor) - 2 TW 200 MHz cavities (4 sections of 11 cells) without couplers - 2 TW 200 MHz cavities (5 sections of 11 cells) without couplers Current SPS impedance Model (no kicker): vertical plane Additional assumptions: - all impedances lumped in one location - no space charge, no linear coupling, no chromaticity - no amplitude detuning - linear longitudinal restoring force Instability threshold: Nb=9 10 10 p/b

6. Conclusion Without the kickers: –the tune shift decreases significantly (Z eff decreases from 13 M  /m to 4 M  /m). –the instability threshold remains around 8.5 10 10 p/b. The TW 200 MHz RF cavities enhance the instability at 8 10 11 p/b (modes -1 and -2).

7. Ongoing work Calculate growth rates to assess which instability (1 st, 2 nd or 3 rd ) is really critical for the SPS low longitudinal emittance bunch Thorough studies on the nominal longitudinal emittance bunch to assess the intensity limits with the current model Include the septa (ZS and MSE) in the model
