Beam Breakup
Modes calculated with CSTSimulations using GBBU20 ms simulation timeSingle mode at a time with
varying spreads in resonant frequency.
One degree (+360n) of betatron phase advance in arcs is optimal.

Energy loss and compensation for dog bone design
Racetrack design improves things
Increase in normalized emittance and energy spread are significantly reduced in the new racetrack lattice.
Any corrections should be easier.

Beam losses
• Touschek– Total loss beyond ±6 MeV is 200 pA. – Small but, maybe, not negligible. We will look more
carefully.• Scattering on residual gas (elastic)
– Total loss beyond 1 cm aperture at 100 MeV is 1 pA– Negligible
• Bremsstrahlung on residual gas– Total loss beyond ±6 MeV is < 0.1 pA– Negligible

Some issues with CSR
• One experiment did not show expected theoretical reduction (with shielding) even in energy loss due to CSR.
• 2. Another experiment studied synchrotron radiation rather than effects on the beam – also some issue were reported, like disagreement with theory for small gap sizes, etc.
• While there seems to be a clear picture about suppression of CSR power loss with shielding, effect of shielding on energy spread is less transparent.
• Transient effects.
• Simple, well-controlled experiment is desired to address these issues. ATF@BNL is ideally suited for such an experiment.

ATF@BNL proposal (April 2009)
Team:
A. Fedotov, D. Kayran, V. Litvinenko (C-AD, BNL), P. Muggli (USC), V. Yakimenko (ATF, BNL), others Experimental goal: To have a quantitative study of CSR suppression with shielding due to
vacuum chamber. Measurements will be compared with detailed simulations of CSR which will including shielding and transient effects.
A. Fedotov
Experiment description• Construct and install a system of two vertical plates with controllable gap
between the plates to be placed inside the vacuum chamber of bending magnet.
• Beam parameters will be chosen to enhance CSR effect without shielding.• Energy loss and energy spread will be measured for various values of the
gap between the plates.• Measurements will be done both for Gaussian and square-shape
longitudinal beam profiles.• Measurements will be compared with detailed simulations.
Experiment: approved May 2009Constructed: September 2009Measurements: ongoing

Electron beam fluctuations
The correlation relation leads to a Lorentz distribution frequency spectrum 1/(α2ω0
2+ω2), ω0 is the RHIC revolution frequencyMore realistic than white noise.
Reduction factor R
A quad example:α = 0.06 Q = 0.685 R = 0.06

Conclusion
• Main Linac design nearly developed– Constant gradient: weak identical quads, similar arcs,
sufficiently high BBU threshold – Scaled gradient: higher BBU threshold, baseline
• No showstoppers have been found in beam dynamics studies.
• Work to do– Linac details– Ion trapping and countermeasures– Check CSR issues– Electron Noise, what is the spectrum?
