Accelerating protons • Rematch the chopper line : • Exactly same dynamics as for the H- until the dump • Rematch to the DTL with the last 4 quadrupoles A. Lombardi – LINAC4 as BKP for LINAC2 – IEFC workshop -23 march 2011

Carli X’ • Septum (magnetic for PSB) separates space in • Region for incoming beam • Region for circulating beam • Different injected turns in distinct regions of phase space • Limited phase space density in receiving synchrotron • High beam current required • Small emittances required • Note on H- charge exchange Injection • No septum … different turns injected in same phase space regions • Longer pulse and lower beam current with Linac4 X X’ X Sketch of conventional multiturn injection (betatron tacking in hor. phase space from P.

Injection of protons from Linac4 into the PSB – C. Carli • 50 MeV protons from Linac 4 • Beam current about a factor four lower (40 mA instead of 160 mA) • Horizontal (norm. rms) emittance about a factor three lower (~0.3 mm instead of ~1.0 mm) • Pessimistic scaling for intensity reduction (for LHC and high intensities) • Keep the same injection bump, number of turns … • Intensity larger than ¼ the one available with Linac2 (better injection efficiency) • Optimistic scaling • Reduction only by ratio of brightness from Linac: factor 3/4 • Slower injection bump (KSWs) and more injected turns • Simulations of injection required for more precise picture • May-be useful depending on LHC request (e.g. 75 ns LHC beam with double batch PS filling) • 160 MeV protons from Linac4 • Technical issues: strengths of Linac2 equipments in the injection line (distributor, vertical septum, vertical bend, injection septum & bumpers …) • Not of interest: • Less intensity with shorter revolution period (1.0 μs instead of 1.6 μs @50MeV) • Higher energy not of interest to mitigate space charge effects (lower intensity) A.

Summary A. Lombardi – LINAC4 as BKP for LINAC2 – IEFC workshop -23 march 2011
Conclusions • Linac4 can accelerate protons both to 50 and 160MeV • Linac4 (low current - long pulse ) is not optimal for delivering protons to the PSB • Linac4 could deliver enough 50 MeV protons to make some LHC beams, but PBS simulations are needed to confirm. • Linac4 can deliver a 160MeV proton beam with the same qualities as the nominal H- beam. Injection into the PSB is not straightforward. A. Lombardi – LINAC4 as BKP for LINAC2 – IEFC workshop -23 march 2011
