Loosier, Michael Windle, & Eun Young Mun The University of Alabama at Birmingham A New, Robust Beam Modulation Strategy for the Q p weak Experiment Nuruzzaman (Advisor: Dipangkar Dutta) for the Q p weak Beam Modulation Team AbstractBeam Modulation OverviewCalculations Q-weak Overview Calculations We utilize the OPTIM program written by Valery Lebedev[2] to start with a pure position or angle deviation at the Q p weak target and to send tracks in the upstream direction using an inverse beamline. Because of time reversal symmetry, such a figure is an existence proof that pure modulation at the target is possible with a forward beam. Bench tests were successful. Now, we are working on controls. This new strategy for beam modulation with a pair of coils will benefit any parity violating experiment. Bench Tests Summary The simplest method to perturb an arbitrary forward beam onto the magic trajectory is to kick it with a small dipole at one of the zero crossings using inverse beamline calculations. But this approach requires zeroes which are in a region of stable, design optics, as well as upstream of our energy measurement at 3C12. Due to lack of suitable zeroes in Figure 2, we have adopted a two-coil approach. [4] Nuruzzaman, PPT, Q p weak Collaboration Meeting, 1 st Order Beam Modulation in the 3C Line 4.Personal communication with Mike Tiefenback The search for fundamental description beyond SM can be done in two ways: 1. Build increasingly energetic colliders. Or 2. High precision measurements. [1] The objective of the Q p weak experiment is to measure the parity violating asymmetry (~250ppb) in elastic electron-proton(e-p) scattering to determine the proton's weak charge with an uncertainty of 4%.[1] The e-p scattering rate depends on the five beam parameters: horizontal position (X), horizontal angle (X΄), vertical position (Y), vertical angle (Y΄) and energy (E). Small changes in these parameters will create a change in rate. If these parameters are beam helicity dependent, this will create a false asymmetry. The goal of the source group is to keep these helicity-correlated parameters as small as possible, while the goal of our beam modulation group is to measure the detector sensitivities to correct remaining false asymmetry. In order to measure the detector sensitivities, we will modulate X, X΄, Y, Y΄ using four pairs of coils in the Hall-C (3C) beamline, as well as energy using an SRF cavity. We have determined the optimal positions for the pairs of coils that will be used to modulate the beam. These results and some preliminary tests of the coils and the associated control instrumentation are discussed.
