Experience with the 5 ns doublet beam in the SPS • Stronger pressure rise with doublet beam indicates enhanced e-cloud build-up in the SPS arcs • Direct comparison of standard and doublet beam within the same supercycle 25ns std. (1.6e11p/bunch) the curves represent pressure gauges in the center of the SPS arcs (1.7e11p/doublet) 25ns “doublet” LBOC, 5. November 2013
Experience with the 5 ns doublet beam in the SPS • Stronger pressure rise with doublet beam indicates enhanced e-cloud build-up in the SPS arcs • Direct comparison of standard and doublet beam within the same supercycle • Clear enhancement observed also in the dedicated e-cloud monitors • Shown here for the MBB type chamber • Good agreement with PyECLOUD simulations • Build-up with doublet beam is concentrated in central region (SPS MBB chamber) PyECLOUD simulation Measurements LBOC, 5.

Ways of producing doublets for the LHC (I) • “Long bunch splitting” at SPS injection (5 ns doublets) • Demonstrated in MDs (see previous slides) • Possible issues in the SPS • Transverse beam stability due to enhanced e-cloud losses and emittance growth • Transverse damper (after LS1 can damp the common oscillation mode of doublets but not the pi mode) • Acceleration: RF power, longitudinal stability, LLRF (doublets treated as single bunch) • Beam quality at extraction (however not critical for scrubbing) • Possible issues in the LHC (to be treated in separate talks) • Transverse damper • Beam instrumentation in general, beam control and machine protection • Anything else? LBOC, 5. November 2013
Ways of producing doublets for the LHC (II) • “Bunch splitting” at high energy in the SPS (5 ns doublets) • By sudden phase jump by 180° and recapturing each bunch in 2 neighboring buckets • A controlled phase jump will be possible with new module presently under development for operation with ions (to be tested in 2014) • Preferably done at intermediate energy for cleaning-up uncaptured beam before extraction • Not tested yet • Possible issues in the SPS • Transverse beam stability due to e-cloud • Transverse damper (during and after the splitting) • Acceleration of the needed high beam intensity: RF power, longitudinal stability • Splitting at high energy: LLRF, losses at high energy due to uncaptured beam, longitudinal stability after the splitting, e-cloud effects after the splitting • Beam quality at extraction • Possible issues in the LHC like in (I) LBOC, 5. November 2013
Ways of producing doublets for the LHC (III) • “Long bunch splitting” at LHC injection (2.5 ns doublets) • Extracting long bunches (~5ns) from the SPS and capturing them in two neighboring LHC buckets 2.5 ns doublet spacing • Not tested yet • Possible issues in the SPS • Acceleration of the needed high beam intensity in the SPS: RF power, longitudinal stability • Transverse beam stability due to e-cloud • Possible issues in the LHC • Like in (I) and (II) • Several injections with RF voltage dips (feasible?) • Transverse damper (but should be easier than 5 ns doublets) • Losses due to uncaptured beam in the LHC during further injections LBOC, 5. November 2013
SPS RF power during acceleration (I) • Possible ways to alleviate RF power limitations • Reduce ramp rate (example below for 3 times longer acceleration time Tacc) • Slightly less power needed in Q26, but other problems anticipated for high intensity (e.g. TMCI) • 1.6x1011p/doublet seems within reach0.8x1011p/b • however controlled long. emittance blow-up will be needed to be checked in measurements Q26 Q20 LBOC, 5. November 2013
SPS RF power during acceleration (II) • Possible ways to alleviate RF power limitations • Reduce ramp rate (example below for 3 times longer acceleration time Tacc) • Slightly less power needed in Q26, but other problems anticipated for high intensity (e.g. TMCI) • 2x1011p/doublet out of reach with present 200 MHz RF system Q26 Q20 LBOC, 5. November 2013
Estimated beam parameters • 1.6x1011p/doublet within ~3 μm • Due to RF power limitation in the SPS • Assuming all benefits from larger longitudinal parameters at PS injection • Longitudinal emittance (first guess!) • ~0.45 eVs at LHC injection in case of injecting doublets from the SPS • >0.6eVs in case of injecting long bunches for splitting in the LHC • Refined estimations from simulations and instability considerations … LBOC, 5. November 2013
Summary and Conclusions • 5 ns doublet beam is the most preferable option as scrubbing beam • Lowest SEY threshold in LHC dipoles • E-cloud covers the largest horizontal region • Production of 5 ns doublet beam at SPS injection demonstrated in MDs • Enhanced pressure rise • Higher e-cloud activity in strip monitors as predicted by simulations • Options for scrubbing beams for the LHC • 5 ns doublets at SPS injection main complications expected in the SPS: RF power during acceleration and e-cloud along the cycle • 5 ns doublets at high energy in SPS main complications expected in the SPS: RF power, losses at high energy (uncaptured beam), e-cloud effects • 2.5 ns doublets at LHC injection main complications expected in the SPS: RF power,e-cloud effects • Other exotic ideas?
