New TCPP • Problem with heating of one TCP in 2012 removed • Collimation team decided to profit from an option in the existing contract to build one new spare, and proposed to insert BPM in TCP. OK for impedance team? Need a recommendation • Context: new TCTP design was not recommended to be extended to other collimators and below a certain gap due to the increase of tapering angle from 11 degrees to 16.5 degrees. However, primary collimators have a special jaw with a 10-degree-taper close to the beam. maybe not as critical as for other collimators since the modified tapering would be in the shadow of this tapering angle and further away from the beam.
Current TCP Current design New design 10 degrees 600 mm 68.5 mm 11 degrees 1194 mm
Jaw for new TCP with buttons in fact smaller first angle 6.34 degrees compared to 11 degrees for phase 1
New design (proposal) • Similar impedance between current design and new design
New design (proposal) • Similar impedance between current design and new design
Conclusion from BPM tapering • Could be accepted, no special issue at first sight. • Now, what about ferrite and RF contacts?
Arguments • Closing the gap suppresses modes, while ferrites try to damp them (see LRFF working group conclusions). • Ferrites have an optimal frequency range of operation • Ferrites can heavily suffer from beam induced heating • RF contacts may lose contact (in this design with BPM there are long contacts that are more challenging) • Serious problems encountered both with ferrites and non-conforming RF contacts in the machine Argument not related to impedance • Ferrites can cause outgassing and can break easily • RF contacts can cause UFOs
Proposed recommendation • With the information we have, we would recommend RF contacts and reiterate the RF contacts design if necessary for reliability reasons. • Is it possible to devise a redundant solution? (e.g. with ferrite behind the RF contacts) • If possible, we could reinvestigate hybrid options (RF contacts everywhere except where long contacts are needed, and keep the possibility to install a few ferrites).
