Instabilities observed in the LHC e-cloud MD 26th August 2011 H. Bartosik, G. Arduini, R. de Maria, B. Goddard, W. Höfle, E. Métral, B. Salvant, D. Valuch, F. Zimmermann
Overview • Analysis of ADT pickup data for the 2 injection with 48 bunches during the LHC 25ns injection MD (21:58h and 22:44h) • First injection of 48 bunches at 21:58h with ADT dampers on beam was lost after ~1000 turns • Second attempt of injecting 48 bunches without the ADT dampers beam was lost after ~500 turns (due to fast losses) • Injections themselves looked clean (see summary by B. Goddard) • No particular observation on BBQ data (in particular for the second dump) • Analysis of the 73 turns before the dump from the ADT (damper) pickups of all bunches as recorded in the post mortem (bunch by bunch)
1st injection (with transverse damper) • Growing motion along the train (mostly V) • Coupled bunch motion not evident as very high frequency motion is observed Horizontal Vertical
“Mountain range” • Small oscillation amplitude for the first 20 bunches • Increasing amplitude for last 28 bunches, especially in the vertical plane (note the different scales!) Horizontal Vertical
Single bunch FFTs • FFT of the 73 turns for each bunch • Vertical tune appearing in horizontal plane for last bunches Horizontal Vertical
FFT along the bunch train for each turn • Low frequency part of the spectrum is suppressed by the transverse dampers Horizontal Vertical
2nd attempt (22:44h) – dampers off • Fast growing losses in vertical plane beam dump
ADT pickup signals (B2-Q9) • ADT pickup signal for the 48 bunches (22:44h) • Increasing oscillation amplitude after the first ~20 bunches … • Coupled bunch motion? (losses already occurred before this data) Horizontal Vertical
“Mountain range” • Small oscillation amplitude for the first 20 bunches • Significantly larger amplitude for last 28 bunches Horizontal Vertical
Single bunch FFTs • FFT of the 73 turns for each bunch • Small sidebands in horizontal plane (maybe linked to large losses) Horizontal Vertical
FFT along the bunch train for each turn • Low frequency part of spectrum is dominant • Indication for coupled bunch motion Horizontal Vertical
Summary • Unstable motion of the second half of 48 bunches can be observed on the ADT pickups • Low frequency part can be handled by the dampers high frequency oscillation remains mainly in vertical plane • Without dampers, coupled bunch motion is observed in both planes • Note that delay setting up of the dampers for 25ns bunch spacing was not done yet!
