General CERN Interest 5/27/2013 FSOutcome of SC-13

6 SC-13 Main Outcome I 5/27/2013 FSOutcome of SC-13 1) The workshop has shown a rich activity on space charge related topics at CERN (LIU), GSI (FAIR), and RAL (ISIS upgrade).Several studies have been presented on experimental work and in particular concerning the LIU studies and ISIS upgrade. 2) In the session of code developments, the issue of code benchmarking has found a lot of attention with regards to long-term tracking. The presentation of the status of code benchmarking has been discussed and the issue about the noise created by PIC codes has evoked intense discussions. This topic has raised broader interest, in particular by J. Amudson, Eric Stern, J. Holmes, Ji Qiang, and Jean-Luc Vay. The decision has been taken to use the GSI test suite for benchmarking of frozen space charge models also for the benchmarking of PIC codes, both 2.5D and 3D. Firm plans have been made to benchmark Synergia and Orbit and hopefully also IMPACT and WARP.

7 SC-13 Main Outcome II 5/27/2013 FSOutcome of SC-13 3) Some discussion has focused on role of GPU in the high intensity beam dynamics. Effort reported by GSI, RAL, FNAL were discussed at a deep technical level, and the present difficulties were highlighted. 4) Interesting from a theoretical standpoint has been a discussion about possibly equating PIC noise with intrabeam-scattering. To this end, previous work by J. Struckmeier has been reviewed on the effect of PIC noise on emittance growth. The audience has expressed the interest to study this topic in some detail.

8 Code Developer Meeting /27/2013 FSOutcome of SC-13 Invitation of code developers after SC-13 workshop Jeff Holmes(SNS) ORBIT proper Leonid Vorobiev ORBIT expert of Fermilab Eric Stern for Synergia Giuliano Franchetti stayed on for a few days Main goals Learn from the experts about the 2 PIC codes Demonstrate issues we had with un-physical behavior Plan benchmarking effort for both codes Mitigation efforts for the noise problem Alternative approaches Lively discussions and presentations all week long

9 Code Developer Meeting II The support for the ORBIT code as we know it will be discontinued this year! It will be replaced by pyORBIT Mainly replacing Interface Hopefully they will introduce a hook to PTC There might even be a manual! Jeff gave a lecture about the most relevant ORBIT modules Benchmarking is agreed to proceed 5/27/2013 FSOutcome of SC-13

10 Code Developer Meeting III Eric explained MPI as used in Synergia and gave a detailed report on the RUN facilities in their code. Jeff raised the question if PIC code are the proper tool for long-term studies in storage rings! He expressed hope that the so-called FMM technique might be the right approach for the future. Leonid explained in detail both his mitigation proposal for minimizing the noise in ORBIT and his space charge templates as a possible long-term solution.

13 Question 1 5/27/2013 FSOutcome of SC-13 1) What we are really missing at the moment is a better description of our machines WRT to nonlinearities and in particular the variation from magnet to magnet. How can we determine this true non-linear model of the machine and how shall we treat our limited knowledge about it (keywords: sigma of the individual multipolar component, how many seeds). What are the different methods, which can be used to make some progress in this aspect (and time scale)? Which instrumentation do we need to measure "properly" the machine nonlinearities? 1.1)What is the meaning of “properly” in a space charge dominated regime that require 10 5 turns of storage time? In particular, the requirements are significantly affected by the physics: there are regimes in which 10% error in the knowledge of nonlinear components is enough for a good description of the machine, but there are other regimes where the concept of “good” or “properly” is difficult to be defined. Responses: What we really need is a better description of the machines; our simulations codes are more or less fine; The question is how we can improve the nonlinear description of our machines? What are the possible methods?  linear and nonlinear chromaticity  resonance driving ters (correct chromaticity, kick in both planes, ) o some data in PS, PSB: difficult since only 1 family of sextupoles  experience at other labs: o chromaticity, DTA o ISIS: turn-by-turn o octupolar components by local bumps There has been a significant amount of work being done for the PS in particular. But we still need a reliable magnet by magnet model which would require a more structured effort.

14 Question 2 5/27/2013 FSOutcome of SC-13 2) For the actual necessity of projects what are the mechanisms for beam loss and emittance growth that are most important => Review of the relevant issue of each project and review of their relevant mechanisms including a comparison with some simple formulae. Do we have good agreement? Responses: There seems to be consensus that resonances due to non-linear fields in conjunction with the tune spread due to space charge seems to lead to both problems: just approaching a resonance leads to emittance blow-up and resonance crossings may lead to losses. On a deeper level the community is split about the questions if these incoherent or also coherent effects are important, as being discussed concerning the half integer resonance crossing in the PSB.

15 Question 3 5/27/2013 FSOutcome of SC-13 3) Which instrumentation do we need to measure our space charge effects? What has been the progress in instrumentation in the past years and what are the plans for the future? Responses: Concerning instrumentation there has mainly been proposals to provide 1000 turn BPM systems with good resolution and further the developments concerning wire scanners to allow for instance a better resolution of beam halo, i.e. improving existing instrumentation. Transverse tomography and collimators to reconstruct the transverse profile have been proposed as possible new tools. It was also mentioned that kickers in both planes are important to study coupled resonances. There has been a proposal to study coherent effects: A quadrupolar pickup should allow to measure coherent response of the beam to the half integer resonance. In fact, this pickup would allow for the first time the measurement of the real space charge tune spreads in a machine.

16 Question 4 5/27/2013 FSOutcome of SC-13 4) The numerical aspects of beam physics codes with space charge are very important => In particular when we benchmark codes of either type frozen model or PIC type: which difference is "normal" and which is not. Responses: This issue has been central in the discussion during the workshop. On the one hand benchmarking of several PIC codes have now been pursued and compared with the results of frozen space charge codes. This effort will take the better part of this year. On the other hand, renewed interest has been expressed to look into the noise issue of PIC codes in long-term storage ring simulations in more detail by several teams. It has been mentioned by PIC code developers that the single particle behavior allows a lot of in-sight into the understanding the working of PIC codes.

17 Question 5-7 5/27/2013 FSOutcome of SC-13 5) There seem to be some beams in the PS with most of the beam below the integer resonance and with not too many loses and emittance growth. Can we explain this? 6) What is the maximum space charge tune shift evolution over the past years / decade in the different machines. Did we make progress? Can we dream to reach more than 0.4? What are all the possibilities to push forward the limit? Is the only possibility to fight space charge to increase the injection energy? 7) What can we do from the optics point of view to reduce space charge effects? Responses 5) No clear position from the audience except that the experimental data would have to be well documented to allow for a clarification. Responses 6-7) Both of the last 2 questions simply would need more studies. In fact, our simulation tools have to be better understood and benchmarked with experiments before a reliable answer can be given.
