  big one)
• Next year planning/budget
• Have clear understanding of what will we do next
  year
• New initiatives

  diagnostics development and fabrication finished
  in 2007

DoE Review of LARP November 2005

• The review committee was very pleased with the
  presentations on beam instrumentation and
  accelerator physics. In addition, they found the
  idea of participation in the development of a
  remote control room a very interesting
  possibility for enhancing interactions with CERN
  from afar via the Fermilab project LHC_at_FNAL.
• Plans for commissioning of LHC hardware are
  already being implemented, with the first U.S.
  staff member (Peter Limon) already stationed at
  CERN. It was reported by management that U.S.
  laboratories will provide staffing for this
  effort, and, in fact, FNAL has committed seven
  persons to this task. LARP and CERN will cover
  costs of travel and additional living expenses in
  the Geneva area.
• Finally, the committee again emphasized its
  displeasure with the lack of formality in
  dealings of LARP, and strongly recommended a more
  effective bookkeeping system for managing
  expenses and progress on all active tasks, and a
  person who would be responsible for implementing
  such a system.

• Deliverables
• Time scale/schedule
• Resources needed
• Addl man-power (and type eng, phys, techs)
• Travel
• Labor
• MS and Equipment

32
Flux Jumps
An accelerator magnet would need to demonstrate
no or sufficiently small fluctuations How
small? preliminary estimates show that 1 unit
of d(b3) will result in 2 units of Q jumps if
residual dispersion controlled to better than 1
cm at I tune jumps and nonlinear effects
need to be studied (AccelPhys)
33

dB/B Fluctuations
LHC tolerance dB/B3e-10

• LHC screen light and feels 20 K He flow
  turbulence
• B-flux is constant at 3kHz
• dB/B dR/R ? need
• dR lt 1A to blow horizontal emittance
• First attempts at CERN (2006)
• 1e-8 noise in quad/no screen
• 1e-7 with air flow

34
dB/B Plan of Action

• Perform dB/B measurements at CERN inside
• Dipole (cold, high current)
• Quadrupole (same)
• Measure vibrations of the screen and LB
  quadrupole
• Will take about 1 year
• Cost
• 2-3 more trips to CERN 6k
• Low-noise pre-amp 5k
• Goal conclude on dEmm/dt and need of FB

  operation

38
Head-on beam-beam compensation

• If beam sizes and shapes are matched (ep)

• for LHC N_p1.1e11, N_ip4, for 10kV electrons
  (beta0.2) one needs N_e4.4e11 or J_e1.2 A in
  L3 m long e-beam

• approx Gaussian e-current distribution with rms
  0.3-0.5 mm
• or donut shape?

39
Challenges of Head-On Compensation

• Total current is not a challenge
• Optimum beam profile (vs bunchlength/beta, Qx,y)
  
• Compression to 0.3-0.5 mm is doable, though not
  easy
• Keeping beam straight within 0.03-0.05 mm
• Beam-beam centering within 0.03-0.05 mm

1.3 LHC Collimation RD

• L2 Leader Tom Markiewicz (SLAC)
• FY06 budget 850 k
• Goals
• The LHC cleaning system must have exceptional
  efficiency to meet its design parameters,
  significantly beyond the state-of-the-art that is
  achieved in existing colliders. It is crucial for
  the success of the LHC that different paths are
  explored in order to optimize the design,
  hardware and operational procedures for the LHC
  collimation system. In view of the exceptional
  difficulty for the LHC it is essential to pursue
  parallel RD studies in- and outside of CERN. The
  phased approach for the LHC collimation system
  will allow to test various proposals and to
  implement the best solutions in an already
  defined upgrade path to nominal performance. The
  LHC Collimator RD will complement the work at
  CERN and will be performed in close
• L3 tasks
• Cleaning Efficiency Studies
• Rotating Collimators RD
• Tertiary Collimators Studies
• Material Irradiation Studies

51
1.3.1 Cleaning Efficiency Studies

• L3 Leader Angelika Drees (BNL)
• FY06 budget 50 k
• Goals
• The ultimate goal of this sub program is to bench
  mark code(s), in particular SIXTRACKwColl, in a
  variety of aspects with RHIC beams.
• We plan to install and implement at BNL
  accelerator tracking code identical with the one
  used at CERN (K2, SIXTRACK with Collimators, i.e.
  SIXTRACKwColl) and perform simulations of
  collimation efficiencies and loss maps which will
  then be compared to simulation results from
  earlier studies done at RHIC with other codes
  (Teapot, K2, ACCSIM) and with data. Various data
  sets at two energies are available.
• During the RHIC proton run collimator setup
  procedures should be implemented into the RHIC
  control system and tested with beam under real
  operating conditions.

52
Cleaning Efficiency Studies Overall Plan

• FY2006
• debug the code
• compare with other simulation and data, test
  setup procedures,
• finish reports

53
1.3.2 Rotating Collimators

• L3 Leader Tom Markiewicz (SLAC)
• FY06 budget 720 k
• Goals
• The ultimate goal is a successful design for low
  impedance, high efficiency LHC secondary
  collimators. The design will be validated with a
  sufficient but small (1-3) number of prototypes
  and beam tests. The design specifications and
  the prototypes are the primary deliverables. The
  time scale is set by the desirability of testing
  the prototypes with LHC beam in 2008/09. Then,
  CERN will decide whether or not to proceed with
  the rotating collimator design. If a decision is
  made to proceed, this sub-project will provide an
  engineering drawing package to CERN and will
  support the effort to commission the collimators
  once they are manufactured and installed by CERN.

  positions
• Relaxed mechanical deformation specifications
• lt25 um INTO beam guaranteed by adjustable
  mechanical stop(s)
• Ride on groove deep enough to not be damaged in
  accident case

tank, jaw support mechanism and support base

Adjustable gap-defining stop

• Stop prevents gap closing as jaw bows inward due
  to heat
• Jaw ends spring-loaded to the table assemby
  move outward in response to bowing
• May use two stops to control tilt
• Slot deep enough to avoid damage in accident
• Stop far enough from beam to never be damaged
  is out of way at injection

1.2 LHC Commissioning

• L2 Leader Michael Syphers (FNAL)
• FY06 budget 1,140 k
• Goals
• There is an overall benefit to the U.S.
  high-energy physics program if the LHC turns on
  rapidly and successfully. Our experimental
  physics groups have invested heavily in the LHC
  project, and the science produced there thus
  represents a return on the U.S. investment. A
  healthy and strong HEP activity at LHC will
  surely be necessary to secure future
  accelerator-based HEP projects in the U.S. The
  information gained during the commissioning will
  be available in a timely manner and will have
  maximum positive effect on U.S. plans for LHC
