Abstract:

The KEK Accelerator test facility (ATF) extraction line laser-wire system has recently been upgraded allowing the measurement of micron scale transverse size electron beams. We report on the hardware upgrades, including focusing lens, laser diagnostics and mechanical systems. The first measurements using the new system from recent operation at the ATF are presented.

Abstract:

The MONALISA group develops novel, accurate, nanometre resolution, interferometric systems to monitor relative motions between key accelerator components. We use cost-effective technology developed for the telecommunications market, providing readily scalable, adaptable solutions. Key magnets and diagnostics in the beam-delivery section of the International Linear Collider (ILC) will need to maintain stable relative positions. In particular, the final focus quadrupole magnets require nanometre level stability. Even greater stability requirements will be placed on components for the Compact Linear Accelerator (CLIC). Interferometers provide the only means of monitoring relative positions over long timescales, at the nanometre and sub-nanometre level. The latest results from our novel design, fibre-coupled interferometers will be presented.

Abstract:

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector is described. The detector operates at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It was conceived to study proton-proton (and lead-lead) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV (5.5 TeV nucleon-nucleon) and at luminosities up to 1034cm -2s-1 (1027cm-2s-1). At the core of the CMS detector sits a high-magnetic-field and large-bore superconducting solenoid surrounding an all-silicon pixel and strip tracker, a lead-tungstate scintillating-crystals electromagnetic calorimeter, and a brass-scintillator sampling hadron calorimeter. The iron yoke of the flux-return is instrumented with four stations of muon detectors covering most of the 4π solid angle. Forward sampling calorimeters extend the pseudo-rapidity coverage to high values (|n | ≤ 5) assuring very good hermeticity. The overall dimensions of the CMS detector are a length of 21.6 m, a diameter of 14.6 m and a total weight of 12500t. © 2008 IOP Publishing Ltd and SISSA.
