Two prototype crab cavities have been installed in the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) in 2018 for studies with proton beams. An issue of concern is the transverse emittance growth induced by noise in the crab cavity radio frequency (rf) system, which is anticipated to limit the performance of the HL-LHC. In measurements conducted in the SPS in 2018, the crab cavity noise-induced emittance growth was measured to be a factor of 4 lower than predicted from the existing analytical models. In this paper, it is shown that the observed discrepancy is explained by damping effects from the beam coupling impedance, which were not included in the models up to now. Using the van Kampen mode approach, a new theory is developed, suggesting that the impedance can separate the coherent tune from the incoherent spectrum leading to an effective reduction of the crab cavity rf noise-induced emittance growth. This mechanism is validated in tracking simulations using the SPS impedance model as well as in dedicated experimental measurements conducted in the SPS in 2022. The implications for the HL-LHC project are discussed.","PeriodicalId":54297,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Accelerators and Beams","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141570976","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}

This increase of the data sample at LHCb is an unprecedented opportunity for heavy flavor physics measurements. A first upgrade of LHCb (Upgrade I), completed in 2022, has already implemented important changes of the LHCb detector and, for the Upgrade II, further detector improvements of the tracking system, the particle identification system and the online and trigger infrastructure are being considered. Such a luminosity increase will have an impact not only on the LHCb detector but also on the LHC magnets, cryogenics, and electronic equipment placed in the insertion region 8. In fact, the LHCb experiment was conceived to work at a much lower luminosity than ATLAS and CMS, implying minor requirements for protection of the LHC elements from the collision debris, and therefore, a different layout around the interaction point. The Upgrade I has already implied the installation of an absorber for the neutral particle debris (TANB). However, the luminosity target proposed for this second upgrade requires to review the layout of the entire insertion region in order to ensure safe operation of the LHC magnets and to mitigate the risk of failure of the electronic devices. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the implications of the Upgrade II of LHCb in the experimental cavern and in the tunnel with a focus on the LHCb detector, electronic devices, and accelerator magnets. This proves that the Upgrade II luminosity goal can be sustained with the implementation of protection systems for magnets and electronics. The electronics placed in the experimental areas and in the cavern needs to be protected to mitigate a single event effect risk, which may imply recurring downtime of the LHC. On the other hand, protection for the first quadrupole of the final focus triplet and for the separation dipole are needed to prevent their quench and to reach the desired lifetime. Moreover, the normal-conducting compensators require the installation of shielding to limit their head coil degradation.","PeriodicalId":54297,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Accelerators and Beams","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141553280","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}

We found harmonic lasing and strong focusing are essential for this beam energy range. Taking the small-signal low-gain formula developed by Kim and his colleagues, we modified it in such a way that the gain can be calculated without the “no focusing approximation,” and a strong focusing can be applied, as well as harmonic lasing. In this formula, the gain is represented as a product of two factors with one of them depending only on the harmonic number, undulator period, and gap. Using this factor, we show that it is favorable to use harmonic lasing to achieve hard x-ray FEL working in the small-signal low-gain regime with the medium-energy electron beam. Our formula also allows FEL optimization by varying the vertical gradient of the undulator, the vertical dispersion, and the horizontal and vertical focusing, independently. As an example, we applied this formula to study the feasibility of an XFELO option for the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) upgrade. Since a quite high peak current is required for the FEL, collective effects of beam dynamics in medium-energy synchrotrons significantly affect the electron beam parameters. We carried out a multiparameter optimization taking collective effects into account. Note, even though our example is for a ring-based XFELO at 3 to 4 GeV, the formula and, in particular, the approach developed here may be applied to other types of FELs.","PeriodicalId":54297,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Accelerators and Beams","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141553071","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}

To achieve attosecond time-resolution studies and gain control over electronic wave functions, it is crucial to develop techniques capable of generating and synchronizing two-color x-ray pulses at the attosecond scale. In this paper, we present a novel approach for generating attosecond pulse pairs using a dual chirp-taper free-electron laser with bunching inheritance. An electron beam with a sinusoidal energy chirp, introduced by the external laser, passes through the main undulator and afterburner, both with tapers. Two-color x-ray pulses are generated from the main undulator and the afterburner, respectively, with temporal separations of several femtoseconds and energy separations of tens of electron volts. Notably, the afterburner is much shorter than the main undulator due to the bunching inheritance, which reduces the distance between two source points and alleviates the beamline focusing requirements of the two-color pulses. A comprehensive stability analysis is conducted in this paper, considering the individual effects of shot noise from self-amplified spontaneous emission and carrier-envelope phase jitter of the few-cycle laser. The results show that the radiation from the afterburner exhibits excellent stability in the proposed scheme, which is beneficial for x-ray pump-probe experiments. The proposed scheme opens up new possibilities for attosecond science enabled by x-ray attosecond pump-probe techniques and coherent control of ultrafast electronic wave packets in quantum systems.","PeriodicalId":54297,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Accelerators and Beams","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141553073","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}
