    Colour-electric spectral function at next-to-leading order

    Burnier Y, Laine M, Langelage J, Mether L. Colour-electric spectral function at next-to-leading order. JHEP. 2010;2010(8): 94.The spectral function related to the correlator of two colour-electric fields along a Polyakov loop determines the momentum diffusion coefficient of a heavy quark near rest with respect to a heat bath. We compute this spectral function at next-to-leading order, O(alpha_s^2), in the weak-coupling expansion. The high-frequency part of our result (omega >> T), which is shown to be temperature-independent, is accurately determined thanks to asymptotic freedom; the low-frequency part of our result (omega 0. We also evaluate the colour-electric Euclidean correlator, which could be directly compared with lattice simulations. As an aside we determine the Euclidean correlator in the lattice strong-coupling expansion, showing that through a limiting procedure it can in principle be defined also in the confined phase of pure Yang-Mills theory, even if a practical measurement could be very noisy there

    Electron cloud in the CERN accelerator complex

    Operation with closely spaced bunched beams causes the build-up of an Electron Cloud (EC) in both the LHC and the two last synchrotrons of its injector chain (PS and SPS). Pressure rise and beam instabilities are observed at the PS during the last stage of preparation of the LHC beams. The SPS was affected by coherent and incoherent emittance growth along the LHC bunch train over many years, before scrubbing has finally suppressed the EC in a large fraction of the machine. When the LHC started regular operation with 50 ns beams in 2011, EC phenomena appeared in the arcs during the early phases, and in the interaction regions with two beams all along the run. Operation with 25 ns beams (late 2012 and 2015), which is nominal for LHC, has been hampered by EC induced high heat load in the cold arcs, bunch dependent emittance growth and degraded beam lifetime. Dedicated and parasitic machine scrubbing is presently the weapon used at the LHC to combat EC in this mode of operation. This talk summarises the EC experience in the CERN machines (PS, SPS, LHC) and highlights the dangers for future operation with more intense beams as well as the strategies to mitigate or suppress the effect

    Review of instabilities with ions or/and electrons and possible mitigations

    No full text
    The presence of ions and electrons from gas ionization, photoemission or secondary emission is unavoidable in the vacuum chambers of high intensity accelerators and storage rings. Under suitable conditions, these ions and electrons can accumulate and drive the beams unstable. In this contribution, the mechanisms behind and the main conditions for ion and electron accumulation in the bunched beams are summarized. The characteristics of the induced instabilities, as well as common modelling techniques and mitigation strategies are reviewed. The possible interplays between ions and electrons are also discussed

    Modeling of fast Beam-Ion Instabilities

    No full text
    Beam-induced ionisation of residual gas in the vacuum chamber generates ions, which in an electron machine can accumulate around a passing bunch train. If the density of trapped ions becomes sufficiently high, a fast beam-ion in- stability will be excited. The development of the instability can be prevented by keeping the pressure of the residual gas below a certain value. This contribution describes the mod- eling of fast beam-ion instabilities and presents simulation studies of ion trapping and the evolution of the instability in the FCC-ee. Threshold ion densities for exciting the insta- bility are estimated in order to deduce acceptable vacuum pressures for operation
