2. Longitudinal modes for the asymmetric case Low frequency longitudinal impedance Low frequency transverse impedance Starting to check transverse modes

3. Longitudinal impedance at high frequency  Total length: 2 m  Copper and Steel structure Angle 2=5 degrees Scan over Angle 1  The lower the tapering angle, the better (also for power loss)  Under the limit even with angle close to 90° Copper Stainless Steel 316LN Copper Largest mode: 60 W Largest mode: 6 W

4. Longitudinal impedance at high frequency  Total length: 2 m Angle 2=5 degrees Scan over Angle 1 Copper Stainless Steel 316LN Copper

5. Longitudinal impedance at low frequency Longitudinal impedance Z (in Ohm) Frequency in GHz  Should be minimized to avoid longitudinal instabilities (currently 90 mOhm)  Total length: 2 m Angle 2=6 degrees Scan over Angle 1  One single BGV is not negligible compared to the rest of the machine.  The lower the tapering angle, the better (factor ~5 between 10 and 90 degrees)

6. Transverse impedance at low frequency  Should not be increased to avoid transverse instabilities (currently 2 MOhm/m at injection)  Total length: 2 m Angle 1=6 degrees Scan over Angle 2 Transverse impedance Z (in Ohm/5mm displacement) Frequency in GHz  Limited impact on low frequency transverse impedance

7. Transverse impedance at high frequency  Total length: 2 m Angle 2=5 degrees Scan over Angle 1 Copper Stainless Steel 316LN Copper Beta functions at the location of the BGV: 167 m (from Plamen).  These modes need to be multiplied by beta/ =2.4 (i.e. a range of 1 MOhm/m)  Need to check the impact on beam dynamics Some peaks can be fake due to large noise  being checked

8. Conclusions so far Taper clearly helps also in the asymmetric case Longitudinal and transverse low frequency impedance are between 0.1% and 1% of the full LHC impedance. Effect of transverse modes for the final structure should be checked by beam dynamics studies
