In fact, their effect reduces the beam lifetime, and therefore, the collider’s luminosity reach. Those interactions are called beam-beam long-range (BBLR) interactions, and a possible mitigation of their effect using dc wires was proposed for the first time in the early 2000’s. This solution is currently being studied as an option for enhancing the HL-LHC performance. In 2017 and 2018, four demonstrators of wire compensators have been installed in the LHC. A 2-yearlong experimental campaign followed in order to validate the possibility to mitigate the BBLR interactions in the LHC. During this campaign, a proof-of-concept was completed and motivated an additional set of experiments, successfully demonstrating the mitigation of BBLR interactions effects in beam conditions compatible with the operational configuration. This paper reports in detail the preparation of the experimental campaign, including the corresponding tracking simulations and the obtained results, and draws some perspectives for the future.","PeriodicalId":54297,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Accelerators and Beams","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141774413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Flat beams with large transverse-emittance ratios are critical for future linear colliders. Similarly, magnetized beams with significant cross-plane coupling are expected to enhance the performance of electron cooling in hadron beams. Preparing these beams requires precise control and characterization of the four-dimensional transverse phase space. In this study, we employ generative phase-space reconstruction techniques to rapidly characterize magnetized and flat-beam phase-space distributions using a conventional quadrupole-scan method. The reconstruction technique is experimentally demonstrated on an electron beam produced at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator and successfully benchmarked against conventional diagnostics techniques. Specifically, we show that predicted beam parameters from the reconstructed phase-space distributions (e.g., as magnetization and flat-beam emittances) are in excellent agreement with those measured from the conventional diagnostic methods.","PeriodicalId":54297,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Accelerators and Beams","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141745032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The foil scatters particles on the beam’s edge over multiple turns, with those at large scattering angles being separated and extracted through a Lambertson magnet. By adjusting the scatter foil’s rotational speed and position, we can precisely control the intensity and repetition rate of the extracted beam. This approach enables the efficient extraction of extremely low-intensity proton beams from CSNS-II/RCS. By setting single-particle collimators in the downstream beamline, a single-particle proton beam is achieved. Using 4y, we simulated the scattering slow extraction process in detail, confirming that a stable 1.6 GeV single-particle proton beam can be extracted, the beam energy can be adjusted from 0.8 to 1.6 GeV using the degrader, the time interval between adjacent single protons can be adjusted from hundreds of nanoseconds to tens of microseconds, to meet the needs of different experiments.

In this paper, a new method is proposed for fast polarization switching of undulator radiation by using magnetic field modulation generated from low-current electromagnetic coils. The key point is that we propose to use the coils with a period length of an integral multiple of the undulator period, which can significantly reduce the required coil field. Through fast switching the power of coils, the radiation spectra of two undulators can be rapidly shifted into and out of the bandpass of a monochromator, enabling fast polarization switching for the user beamline.

However, the extracted particle flux is modulated by power-converter ripple, an issue shared across all sychrotrons that perform resonant extraction. In order to suppress such modulations, empty-bucket techniques can be employed, which take advantage of chromaticity to quickly accelerate particles into resonant motion by using a longitudinal rf system. This paper explores empty-bucket techniques via theory, simulation, and measurement, providing a systematic characterization with general applicability to any machine.

For the first time, we solve numerically the longitudinal stability problem in a self-consistent way for a general case of two impedance types and propose a simple analytical criterion describing how the obtained LLD and CBI thresholds are combined. We demonstrate that LLD can modify the CBI mechanism and reduce the instability threshold even below the LLD threshold.
