Classical calculations cannot be used anymore for γ ≈ 1.04, relativistic mass increase of 4% about, that is` β≈ 0.27 ( v = 0.27 c ). Orbital stability equation M v ² ––– = q v B r Lorentz force Centripetal force The maximum kinetic energy reachable can be calculated in a classical way; Ecin = ½ mv² = q² B² r² / 2m The cyclotron frequency does not depend from r or from the Voltage difference between the Dees!

Main cyclotron problem: relativistic mass increase • Frequencyfcannotremainconstant: • f = q B / 2π mγ • Either: • B isincreased for biggerradius or • the frequencyisproperlymodulated to stay tuned with the particle’spassagewhentheyhave a higherenergy. Berkeley Sinchrociclotron
Synchrocyclotron • Fixed “classic” cyclotron problem by adjusting “Dee” frequency. • No longer constant beams, but rather injection+acceleration • Up to 700 MeV eventually achieved

Storage Rings One or two beams counter-circulating in same beam-pipe Collisions occur at specially designed Interaction Points RF station to replenish synchrotron losses
Beamline Elements Dipole (bend) magnets Quadrupole (focusing) magnets Also Sextupoles and beyond
In cyclic accelerators, protons make typically 105 revolutions, • receiving an RF kick of the order of a few Mev per turn • To provide focussing, two types of magnets • bending magnets: produce a uniform vertical dipole field over the width of the beam pipe and constrain protons in a circular path • focussing magnets: produce a quadrupole field. Used with alternatively reversed pole so that, both in vertical and horizontal directions one obtains alternate focussing and defocussing effects. • Like for a serie of diverging and converging lenses: • net effect is focussing in both planes

Colliders - La via per le altissime energie ● ● √s è data dalla somma delle due energie dei fasci. Aumenta linearmente con E , mentre nel bersaglio fisso era proporzionale a √ E . Esistevano già anelli a fasci incrociati per protoni (e antiprotoni), ISR, ma l’energia era bassa, max. √s = 63 GeV, peraltro la più alta mai raggiunta √s = √2mE √s = 2 E

Proton beams production • Gaseous H2 is ionised to have H+ ions • This is done by putting gaseous H2 in a cylinder where a strong electrical field is applied. • First the H2 molecule is broken and then electrons are stripped off. Duoplasmatron
Proton beams production @ LHC • Protons should arrive in LHC at 450 GeV. To do this: • LINAC2 (1978, 36 m di lunghezza). From the bottle to 50 MeV • PSB (Proton Syncrotron Booster, 1972, 157 m circunference). Up to 1.4 GeV. • PS: Proton syncrotron (1959, 628 m circunference). From 1.4 to 25 GeV. • SPS (Super Proton Synchrotron, 1976, 7 km • LHC (Large Hadron Collider, 2008, 27 km). Da 450 GeV fino a 7 (0ppure solo 3.5) TeV.
Anti-proton beam production • A fraction of protons in the Main Ring (Tevatron, Chigago, USA) , when they are at 120 GeV, are extracted and sent against a target to produce antiprotons • Goal: produce and accumulate large number of anti-protons, reducing momentum spread and angular divergency. In this way, can be transferred with high efficiency into the Main Ring, and after into the Tevatron • To this purpose, antiprotons are focalized through a parabolic magnetic lithium lens, and then transferred to the Debuncher, where the monocromaticity in longitudinal momentum is improved. • Antiprotons are then transferred to the Main Ring and stored there for thousands of pulses. A stochastic cooling system reduces the momentum spread in all 3 directions • When about 6x1011 antiprotons are accumulated, 6 bunches of 4x1010 antiprotons are transferred to the Tevatron
Stochastic cooling • Made of several “pickups”, amplifiers and “kickers” • Pickups detect locally a deviation of the Antiproton bunches from main orbit in the Accumulator • Signal coming from the pickups is amplified and sent to kickers located at opposite azimuthal angles along the ring • Kickers produce an electromagnetic field, which corrects the deviation detected by the pickups
