MG - IEFC Workshop Introduction - I The three fronts that are being investigated Activation of septum 16 Generated by longitudinal bunch structure Impact on cool down time for intervention in septum area Fluctuation of trapping efficiency in the PS Long campaign of beam measurements to find source (not yet identified) Huge amount of beam data analysed. Injection trajectories fluctuations in SPS 8/3/2012

MG - IEFC Workshop Introduction - II Mitigation measures proposed Activation of septum 16 Dummy septum in SS15 Hybrid MTE extraction (re-using electrostatic septum for CT) Fluctuation of trapping efficiency in the PS Injection trajectories fluctuations in SPS Different strategy for beam measurements in Possibly same source for both issues (magnetic reproducibility of PS main field). Original proposal by Brennan 8/3/2012

Dummy septum: beam studies - II Strategy to reduce amplitude at SS15 Reduce slow bump in SS15 Optimise strength of extraction kicker KFA71 It turned out that KFA4 (used for MTE – extraction of fifth turn) was useful in gaining transverse space in SS15 while reducing amplitude in SS09 (where losses were observed with protons). 8/3/20126MG - IEFC Workshop 2012 SS09 SS15 With KFA4 Without KFA4 Courtesy C.

Extraction with SEH31: recap of CT Two slow bumps (SS16, SS31) One fast bump (pedestal and staircase, between SS21 and SS9) QKE (in SS5/25 and SS25/73) Two septa (SMH16, SEH31) Two kickers in TT2 to correct the turn-by-turn trajectory differences 8/3/201212MG - IEFC Workshop 2012

Hybrid MTE - I Phase of KFA13 is not suitable for a closed bump between 21 and 13. Kicker in 9 will always work at high strength, with KFA13 providing a small correction. QKEs are needed to “help” the kicker in 9 and provide extra kick to the beam deflected by SEH31. All this forces to go towards a nearly “carbon copy” of the CT optics. Guidelines for new solution: Minimise the strength of QKEs Close the combined SS16+SS31 slow bump Close the fast bump 8/3/201213MG - IEFC Workshop 2012

Hybrid MTE - II Tests performed: Slow bump: combine bumps in SS16 and SS31 8/3/201214MG - IEFC Workshop 2012 Original bump 31: not closed due to magnets in series New bump perfectly closed (also from measurements) Courtesy C. Hernalsteens

Hybrid MTE - III Tests performed: Tune control during rise of slow bump and QKEs 8/3/201215MG - IEFC Workshop 2012 Huge tune variation. Difficult to measure (too fast for standard tools). Partial correction using F8L. Potential issues: Tune change in vertical plane. Correct response of the circuit.

Hybrid MTE - III Tests performed: Kicked beam into island Fast tune change induces fast islands’ movement. The beam kicked inside does not follow and filaments 8/3/201216MG - IEFC Workshop 2012 No tune correction Best tune correction Accurate measurement (special analysis tool) and correction of fast tune change are the top priority for 2012 tests.

Fluctuations - I 8/3/2012MG - IEFC Workshop Different strategy to measure PS reproducibility. Instead of measuring trapping fluctuations, the position of the islands is measured: Orbit system can be used Accurate measurement, easier to interpret, and it provides similar information on reproducibility. Measurement of tune vs. Dp/p

Tune vs  p/p Small but systematic tune difference as a function of preceding magnetic cycle. Curve shape is also different. Courtesy A. Lachaize 8/3/2012MG - IEFC Workshop

Islands’ stability 8/3/201219MG - IEFC Workshop 2012 Island 1 Pickup 80 Average position (mm) Peak to peak (mm) After ZERO cycle (POPS) After EASTB cycle (rotating machine) After TOF cycle (rotating machine) After TOF cycle (POPS) Flat-top Programmed tune ramp Huge spread for the same preceding cycle Huge dependence of island’s position on preceding magnetic cycle Reduced variation of island’s position Reduced variation of island’s position Tests with special supercycles 1.13 BPs with 1 MTE (and ZEROs) 2.13 BPs with 2 consecutive MTE (and ZEROs ) 3.26 BPs with 2 MTE (and ZEROs). This case is equivalent to two supercycles of type BPs with 13 MTE Courtesy A. Lachaize

Statistics over five days - I Test reproducibility over long period Test with fixed preceding magnetic cycle Different ways to change the tune 8/3/201220MG - IEFC Workshop 2012 Injectors schedule In red measurement’s slots Huge tune variation requiring constant correction! Courtesy A. Lachaize

Statistics over five days - II October 25 th (before injectors’ MD) 8/3/201221MG - IEFC Workshop 2012 LHC as preceding cycle seems to improve stability.

Statistics over five days - III October 28 th (after injectors’ MD) 8/3/201222MG - IEFC Workshop 2012 LHC as preceding cycle does not seems to improve stability. Stability seems already better than before MD.

Highlights of Mini-Workshop on PS Main Magnet Field Issues - II Highlights from the mini-Workshop: Magnetic model is mature for predictive use. Magnetic measurements (dipole and quadrupole components) are provide interesting data! 8/3/2012MG - IEFC Workshop 2012 I(t) (zoom-in) I* 2 (t) (quadrupole) I* 1 (t) (dipole) quadrupole relative field error  5    100 ms Courtesy M. Buzio B = G 2010 measurement campaign by B. Vandorpe Qualitative agreement! No decay of dipole component Sizeable decay of quadrupolar component 24

Highlights of Mini-Workshop on PS Main Magnet Field Issues - III Wrap-up session last Tuesday to define actions. Points relevant for MTE activities: System for measuring dipole and quadrupole components will be available for measurements in two weeks. Higher-order (up to decapole) components could be measured in a month. Possible strategies for improving reproducibility (not necessarily operational…): Use n (1<n<6) 26 GeV/c before the MTE cycle. Pre-cycle the main magnets at low current (up-down between 0 A and 50 A) with several mini-cycles (should be fast). 8/3/2012MG - IEFC Workshop
