Jerry Annala April 16, 2007 Status of Tevatron Chromatic Correction Sextupole Commissioning
Motivation for Sextupole Modifications previously reported by Alex Valishev • Improved Luminosity Lifetime • New working point • Smaller tune footprint • Eliminate 2nd order chromaticity • Lower linear chromaticity? J. Annala Tevatron Chromatic Correction Sextupole Status
New Tevatron Working Point • Currently operating between 4/7 and 3/5 with beam-beam x = 0.02 • To increase number of particles need more tune space – WP near ½ should allow 40% more! • However, vicinity of half-integer increases sensitivity to quadrupole errors, especially chromatic • Moreover, large chromatic b-function is detrimental to beam-beam effects even at present WP Work done by: Alex Valishev J.

Implementation Plan • Switch to new PS in original polarity – Run at same current as T:SF and T:SD • Turn new circuits off and compensate with T:SF and T:SD. Run HEP stores this way. • Reverse Polarity of half of the elements on the new circuits. • Begin tuning up new circuits to reduce second order chromaticity. J. Annala Tevatron Chromatic Correction Sextupole Status
Status • Switched loads to new supplies in orginal polarity. • Polarity checked all elements with beam. • Tuned up B2 drift at injection and snapback. • Have begun tuning up the ramp and squeeze with new circuits running at zero amps. J. Annala Tevatron Chromatic Correction Sextupole Status

Before HEP store with new sextupoles at zero • Re-do orbits one more time • Decouple two more slots on ramp • Insure orbit is correct at a few special locations • Run Proton only store on helix • Do high intensity 12X0 Proton only store J. Annala Tevatron Chromatic Correction Sextupole Status
