Chromatic aberrations at low * (1/3)• Off-momentum -beating, NL chromaticity Q” and Q”’- Strategy for V6.503 (IR1 & 5 with =55 cm): Passive compensation between IR1&5 by /2 betatron phasing between IP1 & IP5. Off-momentum -beating bump between IR1 and IR5 reaching ~40% @ =0.001. Probably OK for collimation (R. Assmann, LIUWG#4) but the beam will tell.

- If same strategy applied for Phase I (IR1 & 5 with =25 cm):

Linear off-mom. -beat minimized in IR7 but reaching ~100% @ =0.001 in IR3 Q’ easily corrected to 2 units: 44% - 74% of Imax (550A) needed in SF-SD. No Q’’, but huge Q’’’ which is the indication of large non-linear off-momentum -

beat (…the phase advance from IP1 to IP5 is no longer /2 for non-zero ).

… See illustrations in next slides (coming from LIUWG#15 presentation)

Beam life time and background to the experiments when moving by a few 10-4 , e.g. for dispersion or chromaticity measurement?? Where the diffracted protons escaping IR3 (i.e. with < a few permil) will be lost?? For them the off-momentum -beating is maximum on the other half of the machine, in particular IR7 and the new IT’s!! The scheme easily breaks down when the optics is not strictly the same in IR1 and IR5!! How big is the non-linear off-mom. -beating in the new IT’s and IR7??.. See next slide.

Chromatic aberrations at low * (2/3)• Spurious H/V dispersion from the X-schemes in IR1 & 5 Can reach ~6 m for worst phase advances between IR1& 5, i.e. ~12 mm coil ID lost! Dx/y can easily reached 0.5-1 m in the TCP/TCS of IR7.. Collimation efficiency! Correctable in the H-plane (IR5) via IR-rematching but no IR knobs for Dy!

H & V arc orbit bumps tested in the past w/o success: not enough MCB strength, huge orbit in the arcs ( e.g. P. Leunissen 1999)… because decoherence of the dispersive wave in the arcs (arc cell phase too far from 90 degrees) and also and mainly not the right phase between triplet and mid-arc!!

Chromatic aberrations at low * (3/3)• What to do?Revisit the conceptual optics of the LHC arcs- Was driven by imposing a strong decoherence of the linear and non-linear driving terms

induced by the systematic MB field imperfections, with a phase split per arc increased from 0 to ~ from LHCV0 to LHCV5 (overall tune split of 5) and then no longer touched since more than 10 years!

- Under these conditions, no way to generate a coherent dispersion wave with orbit bumps in the arcs or a coherent off-momentum -beating wave with the lattice MS’s, big enough to actively compensate the chromatic aberrations induced by the triplet.

Re-phase appropriately the 8 LHC IR’s- The IR phases are generally optimized for aperture, but generally offers some tunability.

- Since two sectors of sextupoles are needed to compensate for one IT (see next slides), IR2/4/6/8 play the role of phase trombone between two adjacent sectors w.r.t. the off-momentum -beating and therefore need to be rematched with an appropriate phase.

- Then the left and right phase advances of IR1/5 need to be constrained individually such that the compensation with the incoming waves from the arc (dispersion or off-momentum -beating) arrives at the right phase in the IT.

These aspects were missed in the conceptual design of the LHC optics (not needed?) A new overall LHC optics is needed for PhaseI … to be already tested/used for nom. (?)S. Fartoukh, LIUWG 26/03/2009

Page 7: A new overall LHC optics for the LHC IR upgrade Phase I From new concepts (LIUWG#15, May 2008) to a complete solution S. Fartoukh for the ABP Upgrade Team

All LHC sectors and IR’s needs to rematched according to the following phasing conditions

Schematic vertical off-momentum beta-beating wave induced by the SD families of sectors 34 and 45

Basically one MS family out of two per plane and per sector is efficient to compensate for the triplet.For the Phase I triplet (120 T/m), this limits the minimum possible to 30cm (limits from the SD families assuming a max current of 550A) compared to ~15 cm if only correcting Q’.The phasing conditions above are also optimum for correcting the spurious dispersion (next slide).cell as close as possible to /2 is needed for efficiency (otherwise decoherence of the ’-wave or disp. wave) and to avoid the generation of residual Q’’ by the MS themselves substantial left/right tunability of IR1 & IR5 is needed. Due to limited L/R tunability of IR1 and IR5, the arc MQT’s (acting independently on both beams) gets a non-zero nominal setting, i.e. the LHC IR’s now extends up to Q22 with some impact on the aperture @ 450 GeV (CO to be tighten by ~0.3 mm). The adjustment of the fractional part of the tune becomes tricky, and impose to detune in a subtle way the above phasing conditions: e.g. dephasing sector 45 by –Q/2 and sector 34 by +3Q/2 give a tune shift of +Q while warranting that the ’-wave still arrive with the right phase in the triplet.

The MS efficiency and then the min. achievable depend (smoothly) on the working point.

SLHCV1.0 (1/5): a new LHC overall optics for PhaseI

• A new overall LHC optics with appropriate phasing properties has been constructed to allow the ’() correction in collision, with controllable and/or correctable side effects (spurious H/V disp., ’’(), Q’’, Q’’’).

Overall tune split of 3 (63.28/60.31 63.31/60.32 at injectioncollision) Arc optics: QF/QD strength all different in the 8 LHC sectors (with some symmetries) and

arc quad. MQT’s (from Q14 to Q22) with non-zero nominal settings (essentially the QTF’s).

IR’s: New phase advance in the 8 LHC IR’s (with some symmetries), fulfilling aperture constraints @450 GeV, and left/right phase of IR1&5 constrained individually in collision.

On-going prioritary studies, preliminary results and future plans (1/3)

• Basic optics checks done (settings, aperture @450 GeV) but still waiting for an official stamp from BI/BT/RF for the new IR2/4/6/8 optics.

Aperture still OK (max. loss of n1 ~0.1) even with a CO budget of 4 mm at injection, rather pessimistic for Phase I.

Nevertheless, the lack of IR tunability @ 450GeV is worrying:not sure that an SLHCV1.0-like-optics could still be found if the LHC working point 0.28/.31 will have to be substantially modified: the beam will tell!

• Detailed aperture checks in collision for different b.s. shape, versus X-scheme orientation: almost completed (J.Miles).

• Squeeze sequence: not yet started (will be difficult!), foreseen for May-June, but after converging on the detailed triplet layout (see below) … and then high-beta optics

• CO correct-ability with triplet misalignments assuming only one MCBX per plane on the non-IP side of Q3: on-going (R. Tomas) with already strong limitations found next slide.

Probability of success of short-length orbit correction from Q7 to Q7, peak orbit deviation in the IT, and loss of b-b separation versus ptp MQX misalig.’s (100 seeds for each case)

Not enough strength in the MCBC/MCBY @ Q4/5/6/7 to cope with ptp MQX misalignments larger than 0.4-0.5 mm (MCBXH/V below ~3T/m at this level compared to 6Tm specified) and then nothing left to move the vertex by +/-0.5mm as always granted to the experiment!!! Additional non-common two-in-one H/V corrector on the non-IP side of Q4 could help relaxing the IT mechanical spec.’s but will not improve the locality (otherwise difficult squeeze!) and quality (peak CO in the IT, b.-b. separation) of the correction study on-going The recommendation will certainly be an additional MCBXH/V attached to the c.m. of Q2a/Q2b, but then hard time to find good slots for the bi-directional BPMS’s?!

• Dynamic aperture : on-going (B. Holzer) Top priority: DA @ 450 GeV (new optics with a tune split of 3). Then DA in collision and assessment of the new D1/IT field quality. All necessary MADX tools already built and available in SLHCV1.0 directory. Modification of the SIXTRACK environment still needed to start with the massive

tracking campaign First results expected end of April. Missing info (for completeness): IT error table expected at injection & error tables for

Size of the Tune footprint reduced for SLHCV1: head-on reduced dueto the increased of the Piwinsky angle by a factor of ~1.9, idem slightly for parasitic (see below). Slight H/V dissymmetry visible on the tune footprint due to the use of the Landau octupoles for residual Q’’ correction in collision (OD’s ~twice stronger than OF’s). Peak Lumi of 3×10 cm-2s-1potentially reached at ultimate beam intensity

Summary• The LHC IRIR phase I upgrade cannot be resumed to a “simple

exchange” of the IR1 and IR5 inner triplets.• New ingredients, in particular the correction of the chromatic

aberrations leading to a deep modification of the LHC overall optics, imposes to re-launch a battery of studies to demonstrate the viability of the proposal.

Already several potential improvements and gains w.r.t. V6.503, but relying on a challenging control of the linear optics in collision (betatron phases!!):

1. Off-momentum -beat now corrected both in IR3/7 and in the IT’s of IR1&5. * up to 30 cm in collision (limited by SD strength @550A) corresponding to

factor 1.4/3.0 on the peak lumi at nominal/ultimate current, with possibly n1~ 9 in the IT (after correction of the spurious dispersion)

Several possible show-stoppers to be investigated in 2009: DA @450 GeV (new optics with tune split of 3), beam-beam @ 7TeV .

Several grey zones and HW decisions to be taken hopefully in the direction of considering phaseI first as a consolidation of the nominal LHC, e.g. additional MCBX between Q2a/Q2b, symmetric triplet (2 MQX type) or super-symmetric (1 single MQX length)?...
