BNL Accelerator Physics Program: LHC Synergy & RHIC Support

BNL plays a strong role in the LARP Accelerator Physics Program, focusing on beam diagnostics, superconducting magnet R&D, and IR upgrades. The program also benefits from the synergy between LHC and RHIC, addressing various beam dynamics issues. BNL personnel collaborate with CERN and other US labs to support the LHC program.

  1. BNL LARP Accelerator Physics Program Resources BNL role in national program BNL Accelerator Physics Program

  2. LARP FY06 Program Resources 36% ($4.0M)of funding goes to Accelerator Systems: - Beam diagnostics instrumentation - Accelerator Physics theory, simulations & expts - Commissioning - Collimation 52% ($5.7M)goes to Superconducting Magnet R&D - Goal oriented: first LHC Interaction Region upgrade - Limited funding allows only a narrow scope Nb3Sn quadrupoles (necessary in all scenarios) First IR upgrade only No IR dipoles, fast cycling magnets, magnetic TAN, ... Minimal synergy other programs (ITER, ...) - No construction!

  4. BNL LARP Accelerator Physics Program - strong role of RHIC The RHIC complex is a major accelerator facility. In a few years it will be the only US high energy hadron collider and, together with the LHC, one of two in the world. This produces a significant degree of synergy with the LHC. Numerous beam dynamics issues are under study both within LARP and external to LARP. • PLL tune & coupling feedback (real time coupling signal) • Beam-Beam (present proton limit, strong-strong like LHC) • Long range beam-beam compensation (with wires) • Head on beam-beam compensation (with an electron lens) • E-cloud studies (present heavy ion limit) • Non linear IR corrections • HI collimation and beam loss studies

  5. Phobos magnet Warm Dipoles Electron Detector TWC Sec 10 Sec 9 IP 5m Existing concrete stands LHC type electron detectors in IR10 for detailed e-cloud studies • study e-cloud formation with and w/o dipole field • much higher sensitivity than the RHIC type detectors • focus on surviving electrons in gaps and fill pattern optimization • approved for APEX time during this run in FY06 (polarized protons) • collaboration BNL (A. Drees, D. Hseuh et al. ) and CERN (M. Jimenez et al.)

  6. Bound-free Pair Production (BFPP) Measurement at RHIC • Ions after e-capture can cause a “hot-spot” at a location downstream of the IR • => potential problem at the LHC • First attempt to measure the cross section at RHIC (A. Drees, W. Fischer, • J. Jowett et al.) IR simulation point of impact count rate @ local loss monitor when collisions start cross section measurement using vernier scan technique: sBFPP = 0.97 mb (prelim.) (pred.: 0.15 mb) ~ 8 Hz

  7. Loss Maps and LuminosityMonitors • fast and rad. hard LHC type luminosity monitor (ionization chamber) is installed in IR10 • collaboration between BNL and LBNL (A. Ratti et al.), approved for APEX time this year • 1st use “in the field” this year in RHIC, calibration with existing luminosity detectors (ZDCs). • Loss maps for HI and protons (code benchmarking) • collaboration between BNL (A. Drees) and CERN (R. Assmann et al., H. Braun et al.) 1st attempt to predict loss maps for HI in RHIC (and later LHC) and to compare with data

  8. BNL LARP Accelerator Physics Program LHC will be very vulnerable to transients in the energy ramp NEEDFEEDBACK for - closed orbits (CERN) - tune (LARP) - chromaticity (LARP) Recent results from RHIC show “military precision” in maintaining desired tunes Tune & coupling feedback system (4 variables) shows collaborative benefits to all: BNL + CERN + FNAL

  9. Decoupling success BNL LARP Accelerator Physics Program Coupling feedback allows UNPRECEDENTED proximity of the two tunes (0.0007 at left) The crux has been passed (?) in the quest for chromaticity feedback.

  10. BNL LARP Accelerator Physics Program LARP AP is and will continue to be an effective mechanism to provide US expertise towards supporting the LHC program BNL personnel are playing a major role in this process. Many on-going collaborations with CERN and the other US labs RHIC is able to provide a developmental environment for many LHC sub-systems without the problems of start-up conditions
