Proton Beam Measurements in the Recycler
Duncan ScottOn Behalf of the
Main Injector Group
Contents
• Confirm Nova Operations Will Work– Operating the MI8 Injection line at the Recycler energy
• The MI8 line transfers beam from the booster• The RR has a slightly different energy to the MI • MI8 has many permanent magnets
– Stacking in the Recycler• Do we have enough aperture?
– What are the expected tune shifts?• Due to MI Ramp• As Intensity Increases• Due to RF Frequency Changes
• Other Experiment Example– Finding Zero Chromaticity with Schottky and BPMs
Operating MI8 Line at RR Energy
• The RR has a slightly different energy to the MI– Change Booster Energy and RF Frequency, fRF – Try to Inject into MI
• Differences between MI and Recycler – Momentum
• From 8.884 to 8.836 GeV/C– Fix the MI Dipole field at RR value and adjust Booster dipole (B:VIMAX)– Calculated change is ~4 A
– fRF
• From 52 811 400 to 52 809 000 Hz, ∆f=2 400Hz– Change MI fRF and Booster locks to that

MI8 Orbit
• 1st attempt beam hits MI8 collimators
• Calculate changes to horizontal trims and try again
• 2nd attempt beam is injected into MI
MI Orbit & Correction Strength• Reasonable injection and closed orbit in MI• Less current used in horizontal trim

Longitudinal Stability in MI
• WCM data shows stable bunches and bunch spacing– Phase is well matched
Slip-Stacking
• NOVA operations will increase the beam power through the Main Injector by a factor 2
• Previously the beam was stacked in the MI then ramped
• For Nova we will slip-stack beam in the Recycler whilst the MI is ramping– Approximately halves the cycle time
Slip Stacking• Stack Beam in Longitudinal Phase Space
– Two sets of bunches separated in azimuth and energy in 2 RF systems– They “Slip” relative to each other– Apply large voltage RF to capture 2 bunches in 1 bucket
– In the Recycler we plan to do 12 batch slip stacking. • Inject 6 Booster batches at one frequency, • Reduce that frequency• Inject 6 more batches at original frequency• Transfer to MI and Recapture

Recycler Requirements for 12 Batch Slip Stacking
• Different schemes can affect the amount of momentum aperture required– We could inject on momentum, decelerate, inject, accelerate
• Preferred option, centres beam in magnets, better lifetime, etc.
– Inject off-momentum, with half required ∆f, then decelerate • Requires less momentum aperture

Recycler Requirements for 12 Batch Slip Stacking
• The central frequency separation between the two beams is fixed– ∆f = 1260 Hz or ∆p =24 MeV.
• Assume Booster beam has momentum spread of ±8 MeV (95%)– The min. momentum aperture required is 40 MeV or ∆p/p = 0.45%

Measured RR Momentum Aperture• Change RF
frequency and measure beam transmission
• This will need to be remeasured– Currently
equipment is being removed, Lambertsons, E-Cool, etc.
– This should only increase the aperture

Tune Change with MI Ramp
• The Ramp of Magnets in MI will affect the RR tune
• Tune measured from BPM data taken after beam is pinged
• Time of ping varied over eventKicker firing at
different time in cycle
Tune Change vs MI Ramp
• Tends to follow rate of change of momentum (pdot)• Faster ramp may increase ∆Q ?
Max ∆Q=0.005
Tune Change with Intensity• Measured tune for different intensity beams in
MI • Line is theory (B. Ng)

Tune Change with fRF
• Tune measured with Schottky, for low chromaticity, Hchrom=+3, Vchrom=-4.6
• Change at High Chromaticity (-17) measured in MI
Max ∆Q=0.04
Zero Chromaticity Measurementswith Schottky
• Width of Schottky signal measures chromaticity – Minimum width is zero chromaticity
• How does measured 0 Chrom. compare with “Set” 0 Chrom ?
• Saved Scope images whilst changing Chrom
• Extract coordinates
• Fit Gaussian• Find min
width
Zero Chromaticity Measurements with BPMs
• Measured Qv vs ∆fRF for different Vchrom settings
• Plot gradient of each VChrom setting
• Zero gradient = Zero Chromaticity, at Vchrom=-0.38
• (-0.75 from Schottky)
Conclusions
• Successfully Operated MI8 Line at RR Energy– MI8 line works better with RR energy– Energy matching worked second attempt, phase matching first attempt
• Verified the RR has the Min. Aperture Required– Slip stacking requires momentum aperture, between 40 and 52 MeV– Measured aperture is at least 40 MeV– Should only increase after Lambertson E-Cool removal, etc.– Re-measure after shutdown
• Measured Tune Changes that Need Compensating– 0.005 with MI Ramp– 0.01 with intensity, from batch 1 to 6– 0.04 for RF changes (at high chromaticity)
• Other Experiments for Fun and Learning
