Observations of SPS e-cloud instability with exponential pickup Bunch in the first (stable) batch (June) Bunch in the last (unstable) batch (June and August) August data (right) after scrubbing period: data filtered from noise RIccardo De Maria (BNL) et al.
Simulations of e-cloud instability in SPScomparison Warp-Headtail • SPS at injection (Eb=26 GeV) • =27.729 • Np=1.11011 • Ne=31012 (uniform) • continuous focusing • x,y= 33.85, 71.87 • x,y= 26.12, 26.185 • z= 0.0059 Fractional emittance growth horizontal vertical Warp Headtail feedback simulations - JL Vay, M Furman
SPS Single-Bunch Feedback System • Motivations: • Actually: max chromaticity mitigates e-cloud but at expense of emittance increases • No chromaticity and no scrubbing e-cloud again • Measured bunch distortion also when machine scrubbed in August (caution: filtered data) • At higher currents, i.e. upgrade, e-cloud stronger • PS2 • LHC relies on conditioning, SB feedback can be ultimate mitigation LARP CM12 Napa 2009 Mauro Pivi, J. Fox (SLAC) et al.
Electron cloud mitigations in the SPS • Mitigations: • Coating good but expensive now (so clearing electrodes, grooves) • Installing new chambers • Currently scrubbing stainless steel but doesn’t last long, e-cloud may reappear with need of more scrubbing • E. Chapochnikova recommended a system to deal with other instabilities, mode coupling etc., and feedback seems the only way • Feedback complements coating • Upgrade scenarios well beyond 1e11 • Single-bunch feedback not only for e-cloud but for other instabilities LARP CM12 Napa 2009 Mauro Pivi, J. Fox (SLAC) et al.
LARP SPS and LHC 6-Year plan* *with actual resources. Can be a ~3-year plan with increased resources. Decision Point: Feasibility LARP CM12 Napa 2009 Mauro Pivi, J. Fox (SLAC) et al.
Strength of the collaboration: excellent communication between 4 laboratories pulling collaborators closely together to benchmark simulation codes, analyze SPS experimental data and modeling feedback system. • Single-bunch instability feedback system is not limited to electron cloud but can deal with other sb instabilities LARP CM12 Napa 2009 Mauro Pivi, J.
