9. Beam Stability Criterion November 2008 Study • Large synchrotron frequency spread improves the stability. • If • inside the bucket, particles in the vicinity of this region can become unstable against collective instabilities. • As the slope of the rf wave is reduced to zero at the bunch center, the bunch becomes longer and synchrotron frequency spread is greatly increased. This increases Landau damping against coupled bunch instabilities. No Landau Damping V. I. Balbekov (1987) July 09 Study fsyn/fsyn(h=1@bunch length=0) Stable Beam A. Hofmann & S. Myers, Proc.

14. Issues for Theoretical Investigations Proposing to do theoretical investigations on the following issues --   • For creation of flat bunches, investigate the use of • multiple harmonic cavities (perhaps 2 to 3 harmonics) and • barrier bucket system Specify • Optimal RF parameters • Beam intensity limits • Reevaluate impedance budget and constraints • If flat bunches are to be produced in one of the LHC upstream machines, explore beam instability issues for acceleration up to 7 TeV. • Single-bunch and multi-bunch instability issues.  LARP CM13 Meeting, Nov. 4-6, 2009, Chandra Bhat

15. Issues for Theoretical Investigations (cont.) • What are the optimal bunch and beam parameters for the LPA scheme with due consideration of the following • Integrated luminosity (i.e. luminosity and lifetime) • Emittance growth from beam-beam interactions, IBS • Instability growth rates • Beam loading compensation • Event pile-up: number, space and time resolution of events per bunch crossing • Beam losses • Investigate possible locations and effects due the cavities in the machine lattices.  • A hybrid scheme that would allow the FCC scheme to benefit from some of the advantages of flat bunches. This would be worth exploring. • Lower peak intensity decreases the e-cloud effect and space-charge effects • Lower momentum spread • Possibly better event resolution (spatial and time) in the detectors LARP CM13 Meeting, Nov. 4-6, 2009, Chandra Bhat

16. Existing Simulation Tools I have already shown some ESME simulation results. More to come • ESME • This is a 2D code to study longitudinal beam dynamics in (E, t)-phase space in synchrotrons. We will use it to address • Flat bunch creation and acceleration with single and multiple harmonic rf systems, • Beam in barrier buckets, • Longitudinal single and multi-bunch instability • Beam loading issues. • Beam-beam code BBSIM • This code will be used to study the impact of beam-beam interactions on the emittance growth. Comparisons between a longitudinal Gaussian profile and a flat profile will be made for the LPA and for the FCC schemes. •  Vlasov solver • This will be used to investigate long term beam stability and particle losses. Also, 1) extract spectral information and 2) help establish the optimal ratio of harmonic amplitudes and bunch length, in the presence of realistic impedances.

17. Summary • The flat bunch scheme is a viable path for the LHC luminosity towards 1035 cm-2sec-1. But, there are a number of issues, may be unique to the LHC, that need to be investigated. • The results from studies in the PS and SPS are very encouraging and more experimental work is being carried out. • It will be useful to have a test 400MHz rf cavity (Vmin~2MV) in the SPS to conduct dedicated studies on beam instability in flat bunches. • I have discussed viable schemes for • flat bunch creation at 7TeV with 200MHz+400MHz /400MHz+800MHz systems • creation at 450GeV and acceleration to 7TeV Some problems need to be addressed. • A group is formed at Fermilab to perform in-depth “Theoretical Investigations of Flat Bunch Scenarios for the LHC Luminosity Upgrade” under LARP (0.8FTE/YEAR, for two years) LARP CM13 Meeting, Nov. 4-6, 2009, Chandra Bhat

20. Beam Studies in the PS at 26 GeV C. Bhat, H. Damerau S. Hancock, E.Mahner, F.Caspers ESME simulations • Simulations predicted • 20% increase in RMSW from beginning of rf manipulation to the flattened bunch • Bunches in these double harmonic rf buckets should be stable with LHC beam parameters. Previously, the studies with double harmonic rf at PSB at CERN (A. Blas et. al., PS/ RF/ Note 97-23 (MD)) have shown beam becoming unstable, in contrast to these simulations. Hence, more studies were undertaken in the PS LARP CM3 Meeting, Nov. 4-6, 2009, Chandra Bhat
