First Bunch Length Studies in the Slc South Final Focus
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the rst studies of bunch length in collision in an operating linear collider, making use of a new rf bunch length monitor installed in the South Final Focus of the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) prior to the 1997/98 luminosity run. The theoretical and measured monitor responses to linac injection phase and bunch compressor voltage are described. Correlations with beamstrahlung and luminosity are discussed.

An Rf Bunch-length Monitor for the Slc Final Focus
In preparation for the 1997 SLC run, a novel RF bunchlength monitor has been installed in the SLC South Final Focus. The monitor consists of a ceramic gap in the beam pipe, a 160-ft long X-band waveguide (WR90), and a set of dividers, tapers and microwave detectors. Electromagnetic fields radiated through the ceramic gap excite modes in the nearby open-ended X-band waveguide, which transmits th...
متن کاملBunch - Length and Beam - Timing Monitors in the SLC Final Focus
During the 1997/98 luminosity run of the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC), two novel RF-based detectors were brought into operation, in order to monitor the interaction-point (IP) bunch lengths and uctuations in the relative arrival time of the two colliding beams. Both bunch length and timing can strongly a ect the SLC luminosity and had not been monitored in previous years. The two new detector...
متن کاملCollimator Wake Fields in the Slc Final Focus*
The SLC final-focus system accommodates 29 fixed or adjustable collimators for machine protection and background reduction. By amplifying pulse-to-pulse orbit variations and by generating emittance growth, collimator wake fields may degrade the beam quality at the interaction point (IP). In the SLC final focus, collimator halfapertures are larger than the bunch length, so that the standard coll...
متن کاملBunch Length Measurements in the SLC Damping Ring
The synchrotron light of the SLC damping ring was used to measure the bunch length with a streak camera at different times in the damping cycle. There are bunch length oscillations after injection, different equilibrium length during the cycle due to rf manipulations to avoid microwave instability oscillations, and just before extraction there is a longitudinal phase space rotation (bunch munch...
متن کاملLongitudinal Phase Space Setup for the SLC Beams
The longitudinal phase space distribution of the SLC beams is affected by many different machine parameters and constraints. By using a technique of over-compression [1] in the ring to linac transfer line, a small energy spread of 0.12 % can be achieved at the end of the linac for a bunch length of 1.2 mm (σ). In the final focus a small energy spread is desirable to reduce emittance dilution du...
