Accelerating RF station - Beam dynamics interaction

Coupled-bunch instabilities - Setting of RF stations

Coupled-bunch instabilities are defined by the impedance andassociated circuitry of RF stations.

Cavity Controller (LLRF) feedback loops are employed to reduce theaccelerating fundamental impedance to achieve stable operation.Cavity Controller settings are critical for the stability of both the beam andthe RF station. Defines level of RF noise and perturbation of theaccelerating RF stations.

Accelerating RF station - Beam dynamics interaction

With LARP/SLAC support and in collaboration with the CERNBE-RF group, SLAC personnel have successfully developed asuite of tools to remotely commission and optimally configure theLHC RF stations.

Remote operation was crucial under the new stricter CERN policies whichprevented tunnel access when the magnets are energized.

Introduction RF station / Beam dynamics eClouds/TMCI Conclusions

RF noise effects on LHC longitudinal beam emittance

The noise power spectrum of the RF accelerating voltage can strongly affect thelongitudinal beam distribution and contribute to beam motion and diffusion.

A theoretical formalism relating the bunch length growth with beam dynamics,accelerating voltage noise, and RF system configurations was developed atSLAC.

Studies and measurements were then conducted to estimate the bunch lengthgrowth for various operational configurations and to identify the RF componentscontributing to this effect.

Introduction RF station / Beam dynamics eClouds/TMCI Conclusions

Intra-bunch Instabilities: Electron Clouds / StrongHead-Tail instabilities at SPS

One of the limits in particle accelerators to increase current is due to intra-bunchinstabilities.

Large research effort has been conducted to understand and quantify the differentinstabilitiesMitigation for e-clouds induced instabilities have been proposed and tested: Coating,grooves in vacuum chambers, etc.Mitigation for transverse mode coupled instabilities are under study at SPS:Chromaticity

Our approach is to investigate the feasibility of controlling e-cloud and strongHead-Tail instabilities via feedback. Requires measuring/driving transversallydifferent areas of the bunch (nsec - psec scale)
