Development of a Cavity Beam Positionmonitor for Clic∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) project presents many challenges to its subsystems and the beam diagnostics in particular must perform beyond current limitations. The requirements for the CLIC main beam position monitors foresee a spacial resolution of 50 nm while delivering a 50 ns temporal resolution within the bunch train. We discuss the design of the microwave cavity pick-up and associated electronics, bench top tests with the first prototype cavity, as well as some of the machine-specific integration and operational issues.

X-band Crab Cavities for the Clic Beam Delivery System
The CLIC machine incorporates a 20 mrad crossing angle at the IP to aid the extraction of spent beams. In order to recover the luminosity lost through the crossing angle a crab cavity is proposed to rotate the bunches prior to collision. The crab cavity is chosen to have the same frequency as the main linac (11.9942 GHz) as a compromise between size, phase stability requirements and beam loadin...
متن کاملA Versatile Beam Loss Monitoring System for Clic
The design of a potential CLIC beam loss monitoring (BLM) system presents multiple challenges. To successfully cover the 48 km of beamline, ionisation chambers and optical fibre BLMs are under investigation. The former fulfils all CLIC requirements but would need more than 40000 monitors to protect the whole facility. For the latter, the capability of reconstructing the original loss position w...
متن کاملBeam Characteristics versus Cavity Models in Clic
The luminosity requested for linear colliders with centerof-mass energies exceeding 500 GeV, implies a multibunch operation be considered in order to limit the RF power consumption. In the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC), though the repetition rate is high, a train of at least 20 bunches is necessary to obtain the performance needed for the experiments. Since at high RF frequency the wakefields ...
متن کاملDesign of the 15 GHz BPM test bench for the CLIC test facility to perform precise stretched-wire RF measurements
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) requires a low emittance beam transport and preservation, thus a precise control of the beam orbit along up to 50 km of the accelerator components in the sub-μm regime is required. Within the PACMAN3 (Particle Accelerator Components Metrology and Alignment to the Nanometer Scale) PhD training action a study with the objective of pre-aligning the electrical cen...
متن کاملClic Test Facility Developments and Results
The objectives of the CLIC Test Facility (CTF) are to study the generation of short intense electron bunches using a laser driven photocathode in an RF gun, to generate 30 GHz RF power for high gradient tests of prototype CLIC components, and to test beam position monitors. The performance of the CTF has improved dramatically in the course of the past year and highlights are presented here. The...
