Operational improvements to pbar mining in Recycler Chandra BhatRecycler Department B. Chase and P. Joireman, RF Group C. Gattuso, Run Co. Group All Experimenters Meeting April 9, 2007
Pbars are extracted from the Recycler for Tevatron shots using longitudinal momentum mining. implemented Feb. 20, 2004 • The mining is accomplished by RF manipulations of the beam using Recycler barrier rf buckets.

Issues • Poor Life-time and transverse emittance growth during mining caused by non-optimal tunes • Large peak density at low emittances and higher intensities caused by hard mini-barriers • About 20% longitudinal emittance growth during the formation of four 2.5 MHz bunches for Tev shots non-adiabatic bunch explanation • Distortions of the Recycler fan out signals due the HLRF amplifiers(Solved by adaptive RF Corrections since Oct. 2006, by Nathan Eddy, et al,All experimenter’s Meeting, Feb. 26, 2007) • Beam becoming unstable at higher stash sizes and low emittances due to resistive wall instability(Solved by use of Transverse Dampers since Aug. 23, 2005, by J. Crisp, et al. ) Made improvements in all of these with a goal of reaching the Recycler stash size of >600E10 pbars

Emit. Variation ~ 30% and an RMS spread <10% Average Trans. Emit. Variation > 200% and an RMS spread of 30% Result: Nearly constant transverse emittance pbars to the Tevatron
2. Issues with hard Barriers V 2kV t • Peak particle density is too high. • RF Voltage modulation • RF Phase-modulation phase modulation can coherently perturb the particle motion. Lead to beam losses from the bucket boundary Conclusions: The rf voltage and phase modulations are detrimental to the beam stability in back to back barrier buckets. 2kV 2kV In 50 sec In 50 sec K. Y.

Accomplishments • Peak density is reduced by ~35%. • So, in future we can increase the bunch intensity • Better LE (<10% growth) pbar bunches to the Tevatron • The bunch by bunch transverse emittance variation is reduced from 200% to 30% • With the adaptive RF correction we can send nearly equal intensity pbars bunches to Tevatron The bunch-to-bunch luminosity variations in the Tevatron were routinely factors of 2-3. Sometimes >5. Recently, the luminosity variations are only 20-25%,
Tevatron Bunch-by-bunch Luminosity variation PAST and PRESENT PAST Store 4915 Without improvements: Luminosity variation >200% PRESENT Store 5306 With Improvements: Luminosity variation <15%
Highest peak luminosity store (5245) Current performance
Adaptive RF CorrectionsNathan Eddy, et al (All experimenter’s Meeting, Feb. 26, 2007) Distortions of the Recycler fan back signals were leading to Bunch intensity variation >200% & RMS intensity spread ~25% Developed a FPGA based adaptive RF correction system. Result: Bunch intensity variation >33% & RMS intensity spread ~6%
