Run 4 Synopsis • PEP is now delivering twice the rate of Run 3 • Over 60/fb delivered in Run 4, over 200/fb tot • Key ingredients: • trickle-charge both rings • Raise peak Lumi to 8.34E33 (currents, ß*, orbit) • Aggressively track down & reduce rf trips. • MD program focused on near-term improvements+ strategic studies needed for upgrades.

Running 7-day Integral (2004) U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
Run Time Accounting, Run 4 BaBar up from ≈56% to 60% Tuning/Fill down from ≈22% to 20% Downtime down from 16…19% to 14% U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
Machine Tuning and Improvements • LER & HER trickle charge • Steering of the HER • Lowering ßy* of the HER (12–>11 mm) • Raising of the HER rf voltage • Raising the number of bunches & beam currents U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
LER Trickle Charge • PEP issues mostly resolved last fall • BIC, diagnostics software • Extended BaBar trickle test late Oct. 03 • followed by analysis of data quality • Trickle in production beginning Dec. 2,03 • Daily luminosity up from 250 to 350/pb • ≈15% is direct trickle gain, • remainder is increased efficiency (less trips) • Dec. a particularly stable month for rf. U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04

LER Trickle Background Monitor FFT of Injection- triggers (s harmonics if off energy) Injection-generated triggers(∫ also avail. as EPICS PV) U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
HER Trickle Charge • 1st test in Feb. 04 • significant reduction in injection background • not at full beam current, high radiation spikes • 2nd test mid-March 04 • Radiation spikes no longer an issue due to cleanup work in injector • Break-even luminosity reached. • BaBar state machine now ready for double trickle • Double-trickling operationally since March 11. U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
Double-Trickle Gain LER-only trickleav-to-pk = 87% Double trickleav-to-pk = 99% => 12% gain U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
Almost Best Day of PEP-II The best day actually had 669/pb delivered. U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
HER Steering • Steer the HER “flat” except for IR 2 • this has worked historically • IR 2 steering in the past has caused difficulties with coupling • Motivation • lower vertical dispersion • better acceptance • better agreement of the lattice with the design U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
Orbit (absolute) Y dispersion Coupling (C12,n) ßx/ßx,design U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
Before ßy* reduction ßy* ≈ 12.3 mm ßx* ≈ 28 cm Benefit for luminosity HER beam “stronger” 3% increase in spec. lumi. Before STDZ After ßy* reduction ßy* ≈ 11.0 mm ßx* ≈ 27 cm After STDZ ßy* ≈ 10 mm ßx* ≈ 25 cm ßx* lower due to larger global ßx beat. HER ßy* Reduction We used 60% of a knob designed to bring ß* down to 10 mm Significant tuning work required post-STDZ to regain luminosity benefit U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
Coupling after ßy* Reduction U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
Lowering HER ßy* (cont’d) To be able to meaningfully reduce ßy*, we are raising the HER rf voltage. At 18 MV we expect 11 mm bunch length. The rate of rise is limited by increased rf trip rate. U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
Fill Patterns & Beam Currents • At the beam-beam limit need to raise # bunches and beam current to gain lumi. • Need to run by-2 (4.2 ns) bunch spacing: • How will electron-cloud effects behave? • Will luminosity scale with # bunches? • What is the effect of parasitic crossings? • How will HOM heating behave? • (only the last expected to be better) U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
Raising # Bunches & Beam Currents Bunch currents: ≈ 1.5 mA (LER) ≈ 0.9 mA (HER) fairly constant U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
Spec. Luminosity vs # Bunches Fixed bunch current in both rings Fixed by-2 pattern with mini trains Vary train length, thus # of bunches U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
PEP Fill Patterns 1415 bunches trains of 15, 4.2 ns 1550 bunches trains of 33, 4.2 ns Note: 1st and last bunch have lower luminosity: only one parasitic xing “Pilot bunches” (no parasitics) have even less luminosity! U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04

Issues encountered • IR 2 vacuum and background issues • Rf issues • LER orbit & beam optics issues • Bunch-by-bunch feedback issues U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
The IR 2 Vacuum Problem • Late March, we regn’d the IR 2 NEGs • Pressure and background had been on rise • At Run 4 startup, NEGs regen’d before 1st beam • After this, LER backgrounds and pressures much worse than before • Also, long time constants (≈hours) observed • Strongly bunch-length dependent • Scrubbing very slow, almost 2 weeks • NEGs being heated by HOMs to several 100°F U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04

NEG Temperature at -28 m In essence, the NEG is being constantly regen’d with beam! U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
Rf Issues • Rf has been holding up better than in Run 3 • thanks to significant effort of the RFTF • The primary issues/causes of trips • endemic failure (again) of SCRs in the HVPS • phase drifts (esp. LER 4-5) & other board issues • various tuner issues • klystron issues • misc. IOC issues U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
HER rf trips: 5.0/day LER rf trips: 2.0/day Total: 7.0/day HER rf trips: 2.1/day LER rf trips: 0.9/day Total: 2.3/dayincl. l. inst. 3.7/day PEP Rf Beam Aborts Run 3 Run 4 Despite the overall improvement, # rf trips actually increased significantly after Dec. 03 U. Wienands, SLAC-PEP-II PEP MAC, 15…17-Apr-04
LER Orbit Issues • Steer the ring without the IR, as has worked before. • LER IR steering perilous due to BPM offsets • This caused a large drop in spec. luminosity • Root cause was a large beat in ßx, also, dispersion still >50 mm rms. • No obvious quick fix => backed out • Presently using MIA to try finding a correction strategy.

Injection Orbit Feedbacks • With both rings trickling injection problems are highly visible. We are implementing feedback systems to stabilize the beams • LER injecting beam now working, HER to follow • requires BPM hardware changes • Ring-orbit stabilization under development • tricky because of modeling issues • (Note: we do not let the GOFs steer at injection) U.
