SPS MDs in 2010 (related to the upgrade) • Nominal LHC beam • 25 ns, 50 ns, 75 ns, (150 ns) spacings • Ultimate LHC beam • 25 ns, 50 ns spacings • Single bunch with small and nominal transverse emittances • nominal intensity (stability in double RF system) • ultimate intensity (TMCI, long. instability) • very high intensities (up to 3.5 1011 injected) • Low γt optics • single bunch, high intensities, TMCI But… MDs still continue (50 ns LHC beam yesterday) Most of the data has not yet been analysed
Some results for 2010 • Low beam losses (5%) for nominal LHC intensity (with low vertical chromaticity) • No TMCI at injection for ultimate bunches. Ultimate bunch accelerated to 450 GeV/c with low loss and low chromaticity. More problems/losses for small transverse emittances. Some transv. emittance blow-up. • Ultimate LHC beam – 25 ns: large losses, unstable beam on FT, large emittances • 50 ns: 10% losses, no transv. emittance blow-up • No limitation from ZS after change of settings by BT group and from MOPOS at the end of run MD limitations: MKE heating and outgassing (MD SC), transverse emittance measurements (no bunch-by-bunch), time allocation
List of MD studies for SPS upgrade(MSWG 18/06/2010) • a-C coating: e-cloud suppression, ageing, outgassing: • nominal and higher intensity LHC beam, ions • limitations with “above nominal” intensity beams (beam losses, e-cloud scaling with intensity, beam quality,…) • multi-bunch: increase intensity in steps (more work in injectors, but…) • single bunch with highest possible intensity • TMCI threshold with nominal LHC emittances (FB specification): • single bunch of ultimate intensity • stability and emittance blow-up in double RF system • nominal and above nominal intensity LHC beam, single bunch • impedance identification and follow-up (reference measurements) • nominal and lower intensity LHC beam with 25 ns, 50 ns, 75 ns and 150 ns spacing • single bunch with constant longitudinal parameters and variable intensity
Questions • source of limitations/bottlenecks → e-cloud (25 ns), beam loading, coupled bunch instabilities • possible cures and mitigation measures → e-cloud mitigation, RF system modification, impedance reduction • p/b and emittance as a function of the distance between bunches today and after upgrade • … • what should be done for delivering smaller transverse emittances at ultimate beam current? → beam from PS for studies, improvement of transverse emittance measurements, e-cloud mitigation (25 ns spacing), transverse impedance reduction, transverse damper/FB improvement
SPS beams now and in future * single batch injection in PS
