Design and testing of the Beam Delivery System collimators for the International Linear Collider

1. Design and testing of the Beam Delivery System collimators for the International Linear Collider J. L. Fernandez-Hernando STFC/ASTeC Daresbury Lab

2. The International Linear Collider (ILC) will accelerate 2E10 electrons on one side, and 2E10 positrons on the other up to a center of mass energy of 1 TeV (500 GeV in the first period of operation) in their collision. The ILC will be complementary to the LHC and will allow to study “in detail” the new particles discovered at the LHC. The ILC collimation system is composed of a spoiler and an absorber. The collimator mission is to clean the beam halo from e- or e+ off orbit which could damage the equipment, but mainly to clean the beam from photons generated during the bending of the beam towards the Interaction Point. These photons, if not removed, would generate a noise background that would not allow the detectors to work properly.

3. 0.6c0 a Starting point • Long, shallow tapers (~20mrad?), reduce short range transverse wakes • High conductivity surface coatings • Robust material for actual beam spoiling • Long path length for errant beams striking spoilers • Large c0 materials (beryllium…, graphite, ...) • Require spoilers survive at least 2 (1) bunches at 250 (500) GeV • Design external geometry for optimal wakefield performance, reduce longitudinal extent of spoiler if possible • Use material of suitable resistivity for coating • Design internal structure using in initial damage survey seems most appropriate.

8. Wakefields deteriorate the beam quality. • A final collimator design should minimise this effect. • Studies on wakefields generated by different collimator geometries. • Comparison to analytic predictions and simulations in order to improve both methods.

15. 10mm low mass mounting target area Cu Ti reference pin hole guide channels pin hole x y Material damage test beam at ATF • The purpose of the first test run at ATF is to: • Make simple measurements of the size of the damage region after individual beam impacts on the collimator test piece. This will permit a direct validation of FLUKA/ANSYS simulations of properties of the materials under test. • Allow us to commission the proposed test system of vacuum vessel, multi-axis mover, beam position and size monitoring. • Validate the mode of operation required for ATF in these tests. • Ensure that the radiation protection requirements can be satisfied before proceeding with a second phase proposal. • Assuming a successful first phase test, the test would be to measure the shock waves within the sample by studying the surface motion with a laser-based system, such as VISAR (or LDV), for single bunch and multiple bunches at approximate ILC bunch spacing. sample holder

16. A similar test done in SLAC FFTB gave the results that can be seen in the bottom left plot of this section. Results of a FLUKA simulation using same beam and target specification can be seen in the bottom right plot of this section. There is a systematic divergence of ~100 µm2 but both plots agree in the slope. [Measurements c/o Marc Ross et al., Linac’00]
