Lattice with distributed radiation

Introduction

In order to understand the effect of the localized radiation source of the wigglers, we consider alternative optics that have no wigglers at all. In the model, all of the arc bending magnets are replaced with five bends, each with 1/5 of the bending radius. There is negligible effect on the machine geometry. Having increased the field of the dipoles by a factor of 5, the radiation damping time is reduced to 20ms, essentially the same as in the 12 wiggler cesr-c optics. The simulated specific luminosity is nearly twice that in 12 wiggler cesr-c conditions.

Model

The lattice is bmad_bend_5piece_v02.lat . The objective of the study was to explore the effect of the wigglers as a localized radiation source. The configuration of bends in the new lattice was chosen to reproduce the radiation damping time of the 12 wiggler lattice. The same is not true for emittance, and energy spread. The average energy radiated by an electron in a single turn is unchanged, but the typical photon energy is much lower, and their number much higher. The energy spread is less than half that of the standard cesr-c optics and the emittance just over half. Otherwise, the distributed radiation lattice is typical of cesr optics. It is compatible with nine trains of bunches. The interaction region is the standard Phase III layout with compensation of the 1T CLEO solenoid with tilted IR quads and IR skew quads.

Simulation

The results of the simulation are shown below. The luminosity and tuneshift parameter in the distributed bend lattice (bmad_bend_5piece_v02) are compared with standard cesr-c (hibetainj_20040628_v01) and cesr-c with anti-solenoids (bmad_c_q0_040305). The horizontal and vertical tunes for the standard cesr-c (Qx=0.532,Qy=0.594) and cesr-c with anti-solenoids (Qx=531, Qy=0.588) are set based on tune scans. For the distributed bend lattice we used the anti-solenoid lattice tunes, as a scan has not yet been computed. In all cases the synchrotron tune is -0.089. Some of the distinguishing lattice parameters are summarized in the table

An unusual feature of the current dependence of the luminosity is the discontinuity just above 1mA/bunch. There is some indication that this transition coincides with an increase in bunch length. Possibly there is a corresponding increase in energy spread and the corresponding increase in vertical beam size associated with the energy dependence of the solenoid compensation.

Luminosity vs current is plotted for the lattice with distributed radiation along with standard cesr-c optics (hibetainj) and optics with compensating solenoids (bmad_c_q0_40305.lat, Q0 tilt=1.9deg). Tunes are Qx=0.531, Qy=0.588, Qz=-0.089. The corresponding beambeam tuneshift is shown for the same three as well as lattice c_020305, which is an example with compensating solenoids but fixed Q0 tilt. If we repeat the calculation at tunes that give best luminosity for the solenoid off case, (see below), Qx=0.525, Qy=0.586 we get retuned luminosity with tuneshift . Until we do a tune scan for the 1T optics, we cannot conclude for sure that the performance will compare as poorly as in the plot. The same luminosity and tuneshift data is plotted along with standard cesr-c for reference Lifetime/lost particles

Because we track relatively few particles (500) for only 100k turns (5 damping times), we have no detailed lifetime information. The loss of even a single particle corresponds to a lifetime of ~128 seconds and we are well below the beambeam lifetime limiting current. The number of surviving particles is shown in the plot versus bunch current. There is a lost particle at a bunch current of 2.4mA in the distributed bend optics, at 2.6mA in the lattice with anti-solenoid compensation. In the standard cesr-c optics the threshold is 3.6mA (not shown). Solenoid off

A further idealization obtains if we consider a machine bmad_bend_5piece_nosol_v01.lat with distributed radiation and no solenoid. With synchrotron tune set at -0.089, a tune scan indicates best luminosity at Qx=0.525, Qy=0.586 and we compute luminosity and tune shift vs current. Pretty nice.
