e-cloud in the PS: beam observations • Up to now e-cloud in the PS has never been a limitation for the production of the 25 ns LHC type beams • In 2012, bunch by bunch emittance measurements performed in the SPS (intensities up to 1.45e11 ppb) never revealed any e-cloud signature on the emittance pattern coming from the PS Horizontal Vertical • Measurements done on the SPS flat top with 1.45e11 ppb injected into the SPS

e-cloud in the main magnets • We need to assess if with LIU beam parameters the observed instability (or other e-cloud effects) can degrade the beams on the timescale of the production cycle. To be addressed with simulationsandmeasurementswith particular focuson main magnets: • PyECLOUD modules for the simulation combined function magnets have been developed and tested • One magnet unit will be equipped for e-cloud detection during LS1 (see talk by S. Gilardoni)

e-cloud in the SPS: nominal bunch intensity • In the past e-cloud has been strongly limiting the performances with 25 ns beams with detrimental effects both on vacuum and beam quality • Scrubbing runs regularly performed over the years with evident beneficial effects on dynamic pressure rise and beam quality • 2000 (1 batch 0.8x1011ppb) • Vertical emittance 400% G.

e-cloud in the SPS: nominal bunch intensity • In the past e-cloud has been strongly limiting the performances with 25 ns beams with detrimental effects both on vacuum and beam quality • Scrubbing runs regularly performed over the years with evident beneficial effects on dynamic pressure rise and beam quality • 2012 (4 batches 1.15x1011ppb) • Full characterization of the nominal 25 ns beams in the SPS (bunch by bunch emittance, tune, liferime vs. chrmoaticity) did not show any degradation due to e-cloud • Vertical
Tests with higher intensity • In the last part of the 2012, MD sessions were dedicated to tests with higher intensity 25 ns beams (up to 1.45e11 inj.) with Q20 optics • Emittance blow up observed on trailing bunches of the last batches • But: • Machine never scrubbed for these intensities • Possible other sources still to be investigated
Tests with higher intensity • In the last part of the 2012, MD sessions were dedicated to tests with higher intensity 25 ns beams (up to 1.45e11 inj.) with Q20 optics • Emittance blow up observed on trailing bunches of the last batches Two wire breakage during this tests. Bunch by bunch emittance measurements on full bunch train are extremely important to identify/study this kind of issues. Are we ready for higher intensities? • But: • Machine never scrubbed for these intensities • Possible other sources still to be investigated
“Doublet” scrubbing beam • An important goal of the studies was the identification of a possible dedicated scrubbing beam, showing an e-cloud threshold lower than the 25 ns beam. • Simulations have shown that a possible candidate is 25 ns spaced train of doublets Accumulation between subsequent turns PyECLOUD simulation
“Doublet” scrubbing beam • An important goal of the studies was the identification of a possible dedicated scrubbing beam, showing an e-cloud threshold lower than the 25 ns beam. • Simulations have shown that a possible candidate is 25 ns spaced train of doublets • Relatively simple production : • Inject long bunches from the PS (b. len.≈10 ns) • Capture in two SPS buckets (5 ns long)
“Doublet” scrubbing beam First 500 turns after inj. 2 s after inj. • The production scheme has been successfully tested for a train of (2x)72 bunches with 1.7e11 p per doublet • The possibility to inject more than one batch from the PS has been tested in Feb. 2013 Thanks to T. Argyropoulosand J. Esteban Muller
“Doublet” scrubbing beam • MBA-like Stainless Steel liner • It seems it works!!! 25ns “doublet” (1.7e11p/doublet) 25ns std. (1.6e11p/bunch) 25ns standard (1.6e11p/bunch) (1.7e11p/doublet) 25ns “doublet” • Clear enhancement observed both on e-cloud detectors and pressure in the arcs
a-C coatings • In 2012, amorphous carbon coatings have been validated as an e-cloud suppression technique, to be used if scrubbing will not be sufficient • Tests showed that the dynamic pressure rise in a-C coated section is not due e-cloud in the coated parts
