Method From numerical simulations • DA evolution with time • Proposed relationship between intensity evolution and DA • Verified with experimental data from Tevatron and SPS • Use it to measure DA at the LHC. Tevatron data LHC Studies WG - MG
Procedure - I • Nominal machine (Beam 1) • crossing bumps ON • coupling well corrected • collimators: all opened, primaries at 12 sigma (to shadow machine aperture) • Then • Inject a single bunch of about 1010 p, standard emittance(FWS measurement) • Blow-up transversely (H/V) using repeated kicks of MKA (FWS measurement and BSRT) • Measure intensity decay with time • Change settings (or repeat to gather statistics) and go to 1 LHC Studies WG - MG
Procedure - II • Configurations to be tested: • Nominal (including MOs) • MOs set to zero (manual de-Gaussing) • Scan over MCOs and MCDs • Optimal procedure to deal with magnetic status of spool pieces is being defined • Measure diffusion rates at different amplitudes (fundamental assumption of the whole method). • This would require moving the primary collimators and retract them to determine intensity/losses variation with time.
