Intensity Development – MECO Performance Predictions/Limitations based on History and present plan (6Jan05 ahrens)
Summary • Predict intensity and losses from history based model • Apply ALARA constraints • Calculate resulting throughput • Evolve the machine and iterate -> new throughput • Gives a prediction of potential gains – where it is useful to look for improvement
Model • Model based on intensity measurements taken over the last decade (C-A/AP/86 10/02 Zeno) • Realistic with modest intensity • Optimistic at highest intensities – linear transfer function, no high intensity roll off • Performance “beyond the model” requires new ideas and development time
One of Several Plots from the Zeno note – the basis for the model
Evolution • Historic machine • AGS injection improvements (MECO) • Booster acceleration loss control (ALARA) • Booster injection loss control (ALARA) • Booster acceleration eff (no ALARA) • everything
Predicted Performance if Using Single Booster Cycle Single bunch in AGS
