1. Location of the LW detector- Simulation of the LW signals Lawrence Deacon RHUL ATF2 meeting August 23 rd 2006 KEK

2. Possible Locations ● Between BH5 and QD6 ● Between QD6 and QF5 ● Further downstream

3. BDSIM screenshots ● Green line is a photon. It passes through QD6 and QF5 and hits SF5. ● BH5 must have a window ● Holes would need to be drilled in yoke of SF5 for detection further downstream. This would affect the magnetic fields BH5 QD6 QF5 SF5 Possible Detector Locations

4. < QD6 ● Space is 0.55m ● Could fit aerogel Cerenkhov (detector we are currently using at ATF) if extra mirrors are used to reflect the cerenkhov light hoizontally before it is reflected down into the PMT ● Very difficult to fit current calorimeter in. ● Could limit detector choices. ● Laserwire signal between 2cm and 5cm from beamline

5. QD6 > QF5 ● Laserwire signal would pass through gap between pole tips ● Bolt heads need to be shortened

6. QD6 > QF5 ● Space is 1.6m – space required for BPM ● Can put larger detectors at this location ● Laserwire signal approx. 15cm from beam line

7. Simulations ● ATF2 laser wire simulated using BDSIM

8. Quadrupole Model ● Modelled in BDSIM as shown ● Red is iron ● Green is copper (part of coils) ● Dimensions match technical drawing

9. Simulation materials/ apertures ● Beam pipe radius= 2.14cm (except in apertures) ● Beam pipe material is aluminium throughout (should be steel in drifts and copper in magnets?) ● Magnet material is Iron (small part of quad is copper) ● BH5 is vacuum (window to allow photons through) ● Apertures between pole tips and coils in quarupoles

10. Simulation Apertures

11. Simulation Beam Parameters at Start of EXT ● Energy cutoff = 1MeV ● Energy= 1.28GeV ● SigmaE= 0.8 e-3 ● Horizontal emittance= 2.0 e-9 ● Normalized vertical emittance= 3.0e-9

12. Simulation Beam Parameters at Start of EXT ● Beta x = 7.328756752062 ● Beta y = 3.138666109153 ● Alpha x = 1.182561568783 ● Alpha y = -1.770354080712 ● From mad files (Mark Woodley, SLAC)

13. Laser Wire Parameters ● Position: extraction line at MW0X (between QD18X and QD19X) ● Wavelength= 532nm ● Spotsize= 15 microns

14. Simulated e- Beam at Start of EXT/Laserwire ● Top: y ● Bottom: x ● Left: start ● Right:at laserwire ● Units: microns

15. Simulated Compton Scattered Photon Spectrum ● Photon spectum at laserwire IP ● Units: GeV ● High energy cutoff agrees with theory ● Artificial cutoff below 1MeV

16. Laserwire Photons at IP ● Left: xp/yp ● Right: x/y

17. Comparison of Detector Locations ● Particle distribution x y ● Left: <QD6 ● Right: QD6>QF5

18. Comparison of Detector Locations ● Left: primary particles Right:not primary particles ● Top: QF5

19. Comparison of Detector Locations ● Secondary particles were scattered over large angles. ● Secondary particle number and energy could fluctuate more than that of primary particles ● Compared energy for different sampler (detector) sizes at both locations and ● Standard deviation in the energy/energy for different sampler sizes at both locations ● Statistics are from 10 shots with 1000 scattered photons each (will be higher will shorter wavelength laser). ● Assumed that detector is uniformly sensitive to edge. Further simulation required to include effects of mirrors etc.

20. Comparison Of Detector Locations ● Energy per shot/ GeV ● One shot scatters 1000 photons from e- beam. Increases with shorter laser wavelength. May go to shorter wavelength in future. ● Top: at < QD6 ● Bottom: at QD6<QF5

21. Comparison of Detector Locations ● standard devation in energy/energy ● Around 2.5% fluctuations and 9.5 GeV at <QD6 and 3.5% fluctuations and 8GeV at QD6<QFF ● Detector area should be 5m by 5cm to maximise signal?

22. Best Location ● The difference in signal between the two locations is not great ● More space in the second location provides more flexibility ● Laser wire signal is further from beam line at second location so more space is available ● The background at one location could be higher than at the other ● Will bolt heads may need to be shortened in QD6 for second location?

23. Future Work ● Simulate background ● Compare simulations with ATF results ● To do this the current detector must be calibrated ● Test new detector setup ● Try calorimeter ● Try simulations with different e- beam optics ● Simulate detector: lead, aerogel, mirrors.
