The case for IP 2 and IP 8 • LARP is providing four monitors which will be installed in IP 1 and IP 5 • LHC users have expressed written interest in having luminosity measurement capabilities at IP 2 and IP 8. These devices are viewed as machine items. LARP has already clearly stated to CERN it cannot provide for local installation and customization at IP 2 and IP 8 • LARP can provide more ionization chambers to CERN, which would be identical to those provided for IP 1 and IP 5 if CERN provides funds for the additional devices – this would be cost effective if funded (by CERN) during the production of the 4 items funded by LARP, scheduled to begin in the summer of 2006 • LARP will not provide local installation in IP 2 and 8 – Installation and planning for using the devices at 2 and 8 is very different: • these IPs don’t have TANs and will require a dedicated housing • the supporting electronics is housed in areas not accessible during beam runs • IP 2 requires to have an unobstructed path of neutrons during the ion runs, adding complexity to the integration of the system • CERN BDI group is working on finding an internal solution to the problem with no cost to LARP Do.

Tune Feedback Challenge: persistent current effects in SC magnets can strongly perturb machine lattice, especially during energy ramp (aka “snapback”). Effects for LHC predicted to be large. Betatron tunes (Qx, y) and chromaticities (Q’x, y=Ed. Qx, y/d. E) can vary significantly due to “snapback” resulting in beam loss, emittance growth. Solution: make fast, precision Q, Q’ measurements and use these signals to feedback to tuning quadrupoles and sextupoles. This effort is ideally suited for a collaboration with RHIC, which can be the benchmark and testing ground for this effort. The Two Issues at RHIC: • Dynamic Range • Coupling Do. E Review 2 -4 Nov. 2005 Luminometer and Tune Feedback- A. Ratti

Tune Feedback - Specification • • The goal is to control the tune during the acceleration ramp to avoid resonance crossing and beam loss The PLL method is to shake the beam and observe the resonant beam transfer function when the shaking frequency is at the fractional betatron tune – Bunched beam Schottky signal studies • Used to measure the stability of beam tunes during each cycle of the LHC Do.

The Approach - from RHIC to the LHC • At RHIC • • resonant pickup, above the coherent spectrum defeated by transition - short bunches, fast orbit changes challenged by coupling - strong sextupoles, vertical orbit changes affect coupling, coupling drives tune feedback unstable AT LHC (and next generation RHIC) • • direct diode detection - mix all betatron lines to baseband, solves dynamic range problem measure all four eigenmode projections - results in PLL that is robust in the presence of coupling CERN and BNL personnel are actively collaborating on tune feedback and using RHIC as a platform for developing the system Do. E Review 2 -4 Nov. 2005 Luminometer and Tune Feedback- A. Ratti

Overcoming Coupling Major issue (for both RHIC and LHC) is coupling, which drives the Tune Feedback loop unstable. • • • Tune control (quadrupoles) is in horizontal and vertical planes Tune measurement is done with 'horizontal' and 'vertical' pickups Coupling can rotate the normal mode (or eigenmode) usually associated with horizontal plane into the vertical plane Typically, tune measurement consists of measuring just one of the two projections of a given eigenmode into horizontal and vertical • • However, planes of the normal modes of the tunes are determined by coupling At this point the Tune Feedback loop becomes unstable The measurement of amplitudes and phases of both projections gives sufficient information to correct for the effects of coupling, and have stable tune feedback Do. E Review 2 -4 Nov. 2005 Luminometer and Tune Feedback- A. Ratti

Effects of Coupling Schematics showing the two eigenmodes rotated with respect to the horizontal and vertical planes due to coupling. The left hand figure shows the special case where the projections of each mode in each plane are in phase. The right hand side shows the more general case where coupling introduces a phase shift into the eigenmode projections. C-A/AP/174 - Possible phase loop for the global betatron decoupling, Y.

Configuration - Tune and Coupling Tune PLL tune measurement operational at RHIC for several years, automated, controlled by sequencer. Specialist checks status every few days. Used for ramp tune and chrom measurements, IR corrections, machine studies, . . . Coupling PLL re-configured to measure all four eigenmode projections results in PLL that can be made robust in the presence of coupling Do. E Review 2 -4 Nov. 2005 Luminometer and Tune Feedback- A. Ratti

Results - 3 D and PLL • 3 D (Direct Diode Detection) - installed at PS, SPS, Tevatron, RHIC • solves dynamic range problem • significant improvement in sensitivity • greater sensitivity reveals 60 Hz problem • beam is excited horizontally at betatron line by line frequency harmonics • excitation appears in vertical due to coupling • It is at baseband, will show up everywhere in the spectrum - we can't escape it • Required modulation of dipole current at harmonic ~300 is actually pretty small - one part in 1011 • Baseband PLL - loop closed, performance superior to present RHIC system, but locks on 60 Hz lines Do.

Issues - Funding Main problem is budget shortfall in FY 06 Caused in part by additional expenses due to a delay in the availability of the DAQ system from TRIUMF to CERN From the June Do. E review: “While the instrumentation items are a small part of the overall program, they are well-chosen and seem to be adequately supported at present. There was a sense, however, that the instrumentation activities might be squeezed out by excessive demands from other parts of the LARP program (magnets and/or commissioning). LARP management must guard against this happening, as these devices form an entry for the U. S. team into the arena of beam commissioning. “ A formal request ($261 k/2 yrs) has been made in October to address the problem 41 Do. E Review 2 -4 Nov. 2005 Luminometer and Tune Feedback- A. Ratti

Summary of Tune Feedback Status • In good shape technically - coupling problem solved by complete measurement of eigenmode projections dynamic range problem solved by direct diode detection (3 D) analog front end ready with complete system (both rings) RHIC Run 6, intent is to implement tune feedback 'day one' • Concern with late TRIUMF delivery of DAB board - See below - LARP management is addressing this Budget retune v. 2 c • Concern with budget Do. E Review 2 -4 Nov. 2005 Luminometer and Tune Feedback- A. Ratti

Common issue - Data Acquisition • CERN requested that everyone uses the DAB-IV board as the interface point and responsible to provide these boards to the LARP instruments – This impacts all LARP instrumentation • Such boards are under development at TRIUMF and the firmware that runs them is late • LARP’s development can be negatively impacted by delays in DAB-IV boards – LARP needs a minimum of 12 -15 months with working DAB-IV boards to complete the necessary DAQ systems • This has been communicated to CERN – CERN recognizes the problem (impacts many CERN projects as well) – LARP is working to set up video conferences and in person meetings to address the issue • This caused cost increases in tune feedback • Need a working solution by January to prevent a schedule delay Do. E Review 2 -4 Nov. 2005 Luminometer and Tune Feedback- A. Ratti

Conclusions - Integration and Planning • We have created the EDMS documents for both Lumi and Tune Feedback defining scope, responsibilities, interfaces and overall schedule – Once entered, goes under configuration control at CERN – Signoff of all stakeholders • CERN involvement is increasing – Actively participating to testing of both systems – Plan to continue during the RHIC run • US colliders continue to be a tremendous setting to develop and demonstrate these instruments – RHIC in particular Do. E Review 2 -4 Nov. 2005 Luminometer and Tune Feedback- A. Ratti

Conclusions - Challenges • Funding – We are working with LARP management to continue securing adequate funding – LARP management is committed to fix the Tune Feedback problem • CERN is also well engaged – Luminometry at IP 2 and 8 is NOT scope creep • LARP task sheets continue to define scope and budget year by year • Funding requests are also managed through task sheets – Detail ‘project’ reviews validate overall cost and schedule • Integration with beam commissioning activities is essential to the survival of the instruments provided by the LARP collaboration and LARP is planning accordingly Do. E Review 2 -4 Nov. 2005 Luminometer and Tune Feedback- A. Ratti

Summary • LARP Instrumentation will build, commission, and integrate into LHC operations advanced instrumentation and diagnostics for helping LHC – reach design energy – reach design luminosity • Strong collaborative efforts are in place and evolving – Tune feedback is fully leveraging RHIC experience and includes CERN staff – Lumi plans to do the same with RHIC run 6 – Schottky’s experience at FNAL is a great asset • synergies with BNL are fully leveraged • This program will advance the US HEP program by – Enhancing US accelerator skills – Developing advanced diagnostic techniques that will apply to present and future US programs – Help maximize LHC performance Do.
