CERN, LBOC meeting, 17th April 2012 Chromaticity decay and snapback Nicholas Aquilina TE-MSC-MDT Acknowledgements: E. Todesco, M. Lamont, G. Papotti, EICs
Overview • Chromaticity decay during injection • recall of 2011 situation • 2012 beam measurements • analysis and proposed model based on 2012 beam measurements • Chromaticity snapback • Chromaticity decay during flattop
b3 decay and snapback • We need to model and correct the b3 component • Chromaticity depends on the b3 (1 unit b3 = 45 Q’) snapback decay snapback decay
Chromaticity decay during injection *First data points were after 15 minutes @ injection For 2012 operation, energy has been increased from 3.5 to 4 TeV, an increase of 20% is expected in the decay amplitude
Fill 2395 – the “naked” ramp decay decay snapback
Fill 2406 (with dynamic correction) FiDeL model was based on this measurement
2012 FiDeL parameters using powering history scaling law *Decay amplitude for pre cycle is 17 units w.r.t. 19 units expected from scaling of 2011 beam measurements
Implementation of new FiDeL • The new parameters have been used in the CCC since Friday 6th April • With new parameters chromaticity is kept within 1 unit (over a duration of 20 – 30 minutes)
Snapback ∆b3 ∆I • Fitting parameters as obtained for the snapback • Parameters for snapback correction
Snapback modelling 2012 FiDeL fit (redcurve) versus beammeasurements (fill 2395 – the « nakedramp »)
Decay during flattop at 4 TeV • Fitting parameters as obtained for the decay during flattop (Fill 2395) • No asymmetry between the vertical and horizontal plane • Parameters for decay correction
Conclusions • Decay during injection • decay amplitude increased by 5% from 2011 operation • time constant is around 600 s (more data was available during the first moments of injection) • correction is in place and it is working • chromaticity decay is kept within 1 unit • Snapback • gSB is found to be smaller, therefore slower snapback • not implemented yet • Decay during flattop • a correction using the spool pieces is in place and active
