Progress on Accelerator Collaboration – CTF3 R. Corsini. 1. European PP Strategy: …
E N D
European PP Strategy: … d) To stay at the forefront of particle physics, Europe needs to be in a position to propose an ambitious post-LHC accelerator project at CERN by the time of the next Strategy update, when physics results from the LHC running at 14 TeV will be available. … CERN should undertake design studies for accelerator projects in a global context, with emphasis on proton-proton and electron-positron high energy frontier machines. These design studies should be coupled to a vigorous accelerator R&D programme, including high-field magnets and high-gradient accelerating structures, in collaboration with national institutes, laboratories and universities worldwide.

Beam dynamics simulations of the probe beam line. • Participation to the beam set-up and experimental studies, especially on wake-field monitors measurements. • Signal acquisition electronics of the wake-field monitors equipping both TBTS and TBM. • Detection and interlock system of stand-alone X-band (12 GHz) 50 MW power source • In collaboration with W. Farabolini (CEA-Saclay/CERN), S. Rey (CERN)
To achieve high luminosity in CLIC, the accelerating structures must be aligned to an accuracy of 5μmwith respect to the beam trajectory. Position detectors called Wakefield Monitors (WFM) are integrated to the structure for a beam based alignment. Measured (June 20th) – 13 μm(at low bunch charge), a factor 2 improvement on last year measurements.
“I perfectly agree with the positive statements made by S. Rey and W. Farabolini as technical supervisors of M.A.Khan and K.Yakub.Asifand Kashif integrated very well in our team and started making significant contributions to our program. We are very happy to have them with us and will appreciate if their stay will be extended.” – R. Corsini, CLIC Collaboration spokesperson and BE/ABP/CC3 Section Leader. • Can only confirm our satisfaction: • Excellent experimental results, very relevant for the CLIC study. • One conference paper published (IPAC ‘14), one under preparation. • M.A. Khan and K. Yakub received a thorough hands-on training on accelerator hardware and operational aspects. • Very good integration into the CTF3 team. • Time scale (6+6 months) correct one to get most out of the collaboration.
