Intra-beam IP feedback studies for the 380 GeV CLIC beam delivery system
IPAC 2016 Joint Accelerator Conferences Website (2016)
Abstract:
In its currently-envisaged initial stage, the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) will collide beams with a 380 GeV center of mass energy. To maintain the luminosity within a few percent of the design value, beam stability at the interaction point (IP) must be controlled at the sub-nanometer level. To help achieve such control, use of an intra-pulse IP feedback system is planned. With CLIC's very short bunch spacing of 0.5 ns, and nominal pulse duration of 176 ns, this feedback system presents a significant technical challenge. Furthermore, as part of a study to optimize the design of the beam delivery system (BDS), several L* configurations have been studied. In this paper, we will review the IP feedback simulations for the 380 GeV machine for two L* configurations, and compare luminosity recovery performance with that of the original L* configuration in the 3 TeV machine.Fast beam-collision feedbacks for luminosity optimisation at next-generation lepton colliders
