This text represents recommendations from WG4 to GDE towards the ILC BCD/ACD,
and is based on pre-Snowmass BCD [Pre_Snowmass_BCD]
and on the materials discussed during Snowmass 2005 [WG4_Snowmass_Agenda,WG4_Snowmass_Summary].
This text will evolve and will be updated to include new results of
post-Snowmass work. (In particular, the recent progress reported at Nanobeam
workshop in October 2005 is included.) The goal of this document is to describe
the Beam Delivery baseline configuration, give justifications for baseline,
describe R&D needed for baseline; as well as describe possible alternatives
and benefits they can provide, describe R&D needed for alternatives. This
document will address the questions [Snowmass_decision_list]
posed by GDE during Snowmass (the
responses are highlighted below as {GDE#N}), as described in [WG4_20050823]
and [WG4_20050825]
but will go beyond this list, approaching the complete document as outlined in
[WG4_20050825_BCD],
building the foundation for RDR.
The present BDS design is being evaluated for various ILC parameter sets [Raubenheimer_20050228].
The nominal parameters for 500GeV and 1TeV CM are acceptable. However, the
parameter sets which have large beamstrahlung, may turn out to be
problematic from the point of view of extraction line energy acceptance
and from background (pairs hitting vertex) point of view. In particular, the
high Lumi 1TeV parameter set is not working and an alternative set was suggested
[Seryi_20050817].
This alternative set pushes the vertical emittance and thus affects DR &
LET working groups. Similarly, an alternative parameter set for high L
500GeV CM could be suggested. Some other parameter (e.g. Low P) may have the
same problems with high beamstrahlung and associated power loss in extraction
line (is being evaluated). In terms of the effect of different parameter sets on
background, the low Q option is most preferable (but may be a concern for DR
working group, as it pushes number of bunches), while the large Y size, low
P and high L are much less preferable, especially at 1TeV. In particular, these
three sets seem to exceed the tolerance on hits of the first layer of vertex
detector (assuming CCD technology -- this may affect choice of technology for
vertex detector) [Kozanecki_20050824].
The maximal energy to which the hardware, layout, design
of BDS beamlines (including in particular the extraction lines and SC quad) is
specified, need to be defined. This is important, in particular, because higher
energy can be reached in the linac with reduced current, provided that cavities
can withstand increased gradient. Should this max energy be strictly 500GeV,
1TeV, or 35/31.5*1TeV? This affects, and feedback expected from, other
working groups, in particular Parameters. {This is response to GDE#2}
Required R&D
-- continue studies of various
parameter sets, including alternative sets, on BDS and detector performance
-- develop alternative high Lumi parameter set for 500GeV
CM
-- study how the limit of max operating energy is
affecting BDS design optimization
The recommendation for the BDS baseline have been chosen taking into account
the recommendation of the particle physics community [ILCSC_scope],
which requested that ILC will have two interaction regions, which could
possibly focus on different physics programs, and allow for different approaches
to the search for new physics. The paradigm of two IRs (and, independently, two
detectors) is being recently revisited, and is being discussed by the whole
community. Possible configurations for the case of a single IR will be discussed
below.
Baseline for two IRs: two BDSs, 20/2mrad,
2 detectors, 2 longitudinally separated IR halls
{GDE#5 &
GDE#15}
The baseline configuration for the case of
two IRs consists of two Beam Delivery Systems with crossing angle 20mrad and
2mrad, two detectors, two independent and longitudinally separated IR halls [WG4_Snowmass_Summary].
The large crossing angle IR features stable and mature design, separate incoming
& extraction beamlines which allow achieving high luminosity, potentially
cleaner downstream diagnostics, expect to provide good operational margins and
flexibility, minimizing the risk to achieve nominal parameters, is upgradeable
for gamma-gamma, but has somewhat larger backgrounds. The small crossing angle
IR is a more recent design, it provides better background and better detector
hermeticity, relies much less on crab crossing technique, but achieve lower
luminosity than other IR, the downstream diagnostics may have higher background,
the design is more constrained and operation may be more difficult.
Longitudinal separation of collider halls in the baseline
configuration (dZ about 130m) provide possibility to build or upgrade one
detector while another is taking data. This decision may affect other
groups. In particular, with collider hall separated longitudinally and with
undulator e+ source, there may be difficulties providing collisions at both
detectors with different ( /2 or *2 ) time separation if the fast (train to
train) interleaved operation is considered. However, assuming that fast
interleaved operation is excluded, and that DR need to have turn-around for
feed-forward, it should be possible to provide collisions in both IRs regardless
of train structure (this may need building additional turn-around beamlines).
{GDE#17}
The linacs in the baseline layout are pointing to the large crossing angle IR.
This is configuration choice which does not a priori preclude multi-TeV upgrade.
This may be a necessary but not sufficient condition to provide multi-TeV
compatibility. Other requirements will be discussed below in the section
"Multi-TeV issues".
Design of the optics for the baseline
is in advanced stage. Optics files for both IRs, for incoming and extraction
beamlines are available [BDS_optics].
Geant or equivalent models of IR regions are being developed [BDS_IR_models]
.
The R&D which a specific to the baseline
configuration choice are briefly the following. The compact SC quads and crab
cavity for 20mrad IR, and large aperture SC quads and special extraction septum
quads for 2mrad IR. The compact SC quads are being developed at BNL and recently
demonstrated and exceeded the design gradient with 38cm short prototype [Parker_20050816],
while the work on a longer prototype and preparation for stability study of such
quad are under way. The crab-cavity design will build up upon the 3.9GHz
deflection cavity being developed at Fermilab. Development of large aperture SC
magnets within LARP program and at Saclay are relevant for 2mrad IR design
[Napoly_20050816], while r&d on extraction magnets for 2mrad IR yet has to
be started. (See more details on these r&d in sections "R&D
specific to..." as well as in "IR magnets", "Crab cavity systems",
etc).
Discussion of alternative
configuration for two IRs case
{GDE#5 &
GDE#15}
While the group has consensus on the
baseline for the case of two IRs being 20/2mrad configuration, discussion for
single IR case is ongoing. First of all, either 20mrad or 2mrad could be a
candidate for a single IR.
In addition, several
alternatives were discussed at Snowmass. The earlier design of head-on scheme,
where a number of problems were identified by the TRC study [ILC_TRC2],
has recently been reconsidered with attempts to improve it. In one case the
electrostatic separator was suggested to be replaced by an rf-kicker [Iwashita_20050818],
which however introduced severe MPS concerns and other issues. In another case,
the extraction optics was modified so that the kick required from electrostatic
separator was reduced about twice [Keller_20050818],
improving its feasibility even at 1TeV. There are number of issues with this
design: full design of extraction line is absent; it is not clear if downstream
diagnostics would be possible; requirements on pressure (~1nTorr) in the
separator are tight; radiative bhabha’s are hitting the separator plates; there
are parasitic bunch crossing. Would these issues be solved, and required r&d
successful (see below) the head-on configuration may give somewhat simpler
design of the forward region and somewhat smaller background; simpler FD and
extraction magnets; absence of the need for crab crossing. At Snowmass, the
group did not achieve consensus whether the issues outweigh possible benefits,
therefore the head-on configuration remained an alternative choice to be studied
in more details.
One more alternative, which can replace
either 20mrad or 2mrad IR in the two IR baseline, or which can be considered for
single IR scenario, is an intermediate crossing angle (10-15mrad) solution. This
configuration was suggested as candidate for further studies. It follows
recommendations of both the WG4 and the three detector concept groups to aim for
the smallest possible crossing angle at the IP that does not compromise ILC
performance [Tauchi_20050816].
It would be based on the same compact SC quad design developed for 20mrad, will
allow maintaining separate incoming & extraction beamlines and thus to
achieve high luminosity and be flexible in operation, should allow for clean
downstream diagnostics, it may not preclude multi-TeV with proper linac layout
& parameters, and the backgrounds may be very similar as in 2mrad. Also, the
intermediate crossing angle solution would ease the crab cavity and would allow
removing the need for DID (Detector Integrated Dipole) which may improve
background and ease operation of TPC (Time Projection Chamber). Reverse polarity
DID may also become possible, which could further improve background. The
intermediate crossing angle solution, however, is unlikely to be gamma-gamma
compatible, at least not with those luminosity numbers presently quoted.
After Snowmass the group concentrated its work on the
design for the intermediate crossing angle. The complete design of 14mrad
alternative was presented at Nanobeam 2005 in October, including optics of
incoming and extraction line, design of FD magnets, Geant model of IR and
background simulations (showing that the background in 14mrad can be as low as
in 2mrad) as well as considerations for upgrade scenarios from single 14mrad IR
to two IRs. (The accessible crossing angle depends on L*. The 14mrad design
matches L*=3.5m, while with L*=4.5m the angle could be 11mrad). This design is
described in the section Intermediate
crossing angle 14mrad.
The additional r&d needed
for head-on alternatives include feasibility study, prototyping and beam tests
of electrostatic separator or rf-kicker. This may require several years. The
r&d for alternatives need to be compared with r&d needed for baseline.
In particular, the large bore SC quads for head-on may be similar as quads for
2mrad; and the r&d for intermediate 10-12mrad is synergic with r&d for
20mrad baseline. See more in "R&D
specific to...".
Discussion of configuration for
single IR case
The community as a whole, and WG4 in
particular, have started discussion of the single IR configuration at Snowmass.
This question may be decoupled from the question of the number of detectors if a
push-pull detector configuration would be possible. The staging scenario, when
second IR is built much later, during upgrade, should also be discussed in this
context.
The main argument for single IR case is the cost
of additional beamlines, detector and civil construction. In the staged
scenario, one would also need to consider that second IR and detector could
benefit from experience gained with the first IR and could be designed using
deeper knowledge of the physics needs, resulted from early run of first IR.
The cost of BDS is dominated by cost of beamline
components and detector, so the cost benefit from reducing number of IRs would
be well predictable. The conventional facility cost saving is most significant
for deep tunnel configuration, while in the near surface configuration,
especially with single collider hall, the cost difference of tunnels for 2nd IR
may be rather small, since construction technology may anyway require removing
soil in the entire BDS area wider than tunnel separation, and then rebuilding
the tunnel structure. In this case, one can envision either building tunnels for
two IRs at start, and not using one of them, or including provisions in the
tunnel design (special tunnel stubs) which would facilitate building additional
IR tunnels in future. Thus, one or two IRs decision is very site specific, and
in particular in the shallow site case, it may be deferred.
With respect to IR design for the single IR case, it is
important to note that with two IR configuration, which complement each other,
one may allow (i.e. the overall performance would not be compromised) one of IRs
be more risky in terms of machine performance in expectation of better
backgrounds and detector hermeticity. However, in the case of single IR
configuration, one need to put the overall performance, reliability and
operability on the first place. With single IR the optimal baseline may be
neither 20mrad nor 2mrad. The intermediate crossing angle with compact SC quads
may turn out to be the best choice. At Snowmass, the group suggested that it
needs more time (2-3month) for design study of intermediate crossing angle
(which was designed and presented at Nanobeam 2005 in October), and that wider
discussion is needed to come up with recommendation for the baseline for the
single IR case.
Taking these considerations into account,
the group suggested, at Snowmass, to study the following two alternatives for IR
configurations, as described below.
With respect to the
choice of the angle for the single IR -- all versions (20,14,2,0mrad, see Ranking
and R&D
lists below) should be considered at this moment. The group is stressing its
support of the baseline with two IRs and feels that making a choice of a
particular configuration for single IR at this moment is not necessary and may
be counterproductive [WG4_mtg_20051110].
Alternative 1: two BDSs, 20/2mrad, 2
detectors in single IR hall @ Z=0
In this case, the
difference from the baseline is that there is no second interaction hall and
both detector are housed in the single large hall without longitudinal offset of
IPs. The single collider hall gives civil engineering savings, and absence of
longitudinal separation of IPs would ease handling of different bunch patterns.
However, detectors are placed in the same collider hall and there may be issues
of vibration and operational & installation constraints for the running
detector while another one is assembled or upgraded. Moreover, transverse
separation of the IPs (equal to 21m in the baseline) may have to be increased to
fit the detector sizes and about five meters of removable shielding. Increasing
transverse separation may involve lengthening the BDS.
Alternative 2: single IR/BDS, collider
hall long enough for two push-pull detectors
In this
case, there is single IR, single BDS, and long (in direction transverse to the
beam) collider hall that can house two push-pull detectors. The pro arguments
are again the cost savings, ease of handling of different bunch patterns. The
con arguments are again the vibration issues and operational & installation
constraints. One need to stress also that even if the crossing angle of the
single IR is compatible with gamma-gamma, the gamma-gamma may not be feasible
since it would need long & invasive modifications of IR implying very long
switch-over time, which may not be scientifically affordable. One the positive
note one need to stress that this configuration could be transformed
adiabatically or upgraded into alternative 1, if required by physics. In that
case the additional tunnels for second IR could be built with desired
configuration (small, intermediate or large angle, for e+e- or gamma-gamma) and
that 2nd IR could be optimized using experience gained with 1st IR. Again, the
question of one or two detectors is decoupled from the question of one or two
IRs if push-pull technology is feasible and short switch-over time can be
provided. Number of studies are needed to understand technical feasibility &
implication of supporting two push-pull detectors (e.g. constructability of long
IR hall, whether Final Doublet needs to be part of detector for faster detector
exchange, etc.).
Ranking example: "best A, B and C, then D, worst E". In this case all A,B,C have the same high rank, D would be intermediate rank (separated by "then"), and E would be the worst rank.

Beamline sequence and design
features
The sequence of beamline sections in the
baseline optics is the following: linac, beam emittance diagnostics and coupling
correction section, tune-up and emergency extraction beamline, beam switch yard,
upstream polarization diagnostics section, betatron collimation, energy
collimation, upstream energy spectrometer, final focus proper with secondary
clean-up collimation and with tail-folding octupoles, the final doublet,
extraction beamline with downstream energy and polarization diagnostics, beam
dump. The final focus optics is with local chromaticity correction {GDE#40}. The range of L* (distance
from IP to final quadrupole) considered for studies is 3.5 to 4.5m {GDE#34}. The betatron collimation
precedes the energy collimation so that off-energy debris from betatron
collimation could be cleaned out in the downstream energy collimator {GDE#37}. The tail-folding octupoles
are included into baseline and allow to open the collimation gaps by about a
factor of three, which provides an additional safety factor, but they are not
relied upon in the baseline. {GDE#35}
The
considered BDS baseline assumes that there is no vertical angle between linac
and BDS and the nearest region of vertical bends is at least one kilometer away
from beginning of BDS. This is a safety factor that would ease extension of BDS
if, for example, additional collimation sections found to be necessary {GDE#4}.
The
baseline assumes that there is no undulator source at the end of the linac,
before BDS. The recommendation by WG3a to place the undulator source at the
very end of the linac contradicts the considered BDS baseline. Would it
indeed be placed there, the number of adverse effects and integration issues
will arise (see snapshot of discussion here [BDS_mtg_20051101]),
requiring detailed studies. {GDE#8}
R&D
planned at the ATF2 facility will give opportunity to gain experience with local
chromaticity correction optics, instrumentation and other BDS aspects.
Updated November 9, 2005.
The beamline described in this section is located at the end of the main linac at the entry to the BDS and serves several purposes:
Corresponding to these goals, this beamline is subject to the following design choices:
Required R&D
-- Develop laserwire with one micron
spot-size, tripled light, f/1 optics
-- Study detection of
laserwire signal with scattered photons or electrons
--
Design a system of consumable (renewable?) devices to limit the amplitude of
betatron orbit errors
-- Design a system to reliably
determine betatron and energy errors
Section updated September 19, 2005. Primary authors responsible for this section: N.Mokhov, F.Jackson
The baseline collimation design for the ILC BDS is an adaptation of the NLC scheme [LCC52,LCC111]. The design implies a betatron collimation section followed by energy collimators. Octupole pairs are located to perform beam-tail folding which relaxes collimation requirements {GDE#35}. The collimation system [Mokhov_Conf_05_154] consists of spoiler/absorber pairs, arranged to survive impact from errant bunches which escape the machine protection fast extraction system. Additional protection collimators are located elsewhere in the BDS providing local protection of components and absorption of scattered halo particles, while synchrotron radiation masks in the immediate vicinity of the interaction point (IP) protect the collider detector components. The BDS crossing angle does not greatly affect the design of the collimation system, but may impact issues affecting the collimation depth.
In the baseline design, degraded energy particles originating from betatron collimation section (and not absorbed there) may be collected by the energy collimator {GDE#37}. Alternative ordering of betatron and energy collimation sections in this design has not been studied. However, a comparison has been done of the collimation designs of NLC and TESLA, which have opposite ordering of energy collimation and betatron collimation. In this study [LCC111] the NLC collimation performance was found to be superior.
The spoilers are 0.5 to 1 X0 (radiation length) thick, absorbers and synchrotron radiation masks are 30 X0, and protection collimators (PC) are 15 X0. The betatron collimation with 'survivable' spoilers included into baseline has advantage that these spoilers can withstand hit of two bunches at 250 GeV/beam, matching the emergency extraction design goal [Keller_20041015]. They can survive one bunch at 500 GeV. The survivable spoilers are more demanding for the optics (more difficult tuning, tighter tolerances). The alternative is to use consumable spoilers which ease the optics, but require more R & D in terms of renewable spoiler design, development of damage detection, study of MPS issues, etc.
The studies of the dynamic heat load show that most of energy among the beam line elements is deposited in the protection collimators PC1, PC5, PC8 and PC9. The residual activation and radiation damage in the magnets downstream of those is in excess of the limits if the length of the PCs is kept 15 X0 as originally proposed. For example, an averaged residual dose on-contact after 30 days of irradiation and one day of cooling on the front surface of the first quadrupole downstream of PC1 is as high as 7.7 mSv/hr compared to the limit of 1 mSv/hr. The absorbed dose in quadrupole coils reaches 300 MGy/yr compared to the coil insulation limit of about 4 MGy, meaning a lifetime of only a few days. This forced us to increase the PC's length to 45 X0 (about 60 cm of copper) resulting in the coil lifetime of at least several years. Dynamic heat load distribution obtained with the MARS15 code after the collimator optimization gives acceptable loads for the magnets, about 50 W/m for spoilers, and about 10 kW/m for the protection collimators PC1, PC5, PC8 and PC9. (The loss and radiation numbers correspond to conservative assumption of 0.1% for the beam halo population.)
Collimation depths (based on halo synchtrotron radiation clearance through IR apertures) have been studied for the current 20mrad and 2mrad final doublet designs [Jackson_20050816,Carter_20050816]. Although the aperture constraints are different in each case (extraction quadrupoles for 20mrad, beam calorimeter for 2 mrad), the collimation depths are the roughly the same in both (~10 sigx in the x plane and ~60-80 sigy in the y plane). In the 20 mrad deck these correspond to betatron spoiler gaps of ~1 mm in the x plane, ~ 0.5 mm in the y plane.
The performance of the 20 mrad collimation system has been studied in halo tracking simulations [Jackson_20050816,Carter_20050816,Drozhdin_BDIR2005]. These demonstrate a reasonable performance of the collimation system. Some halo repopulation outside the collimation depth is evident, particularly in the x-plane, which can be remediated by reducing the spoilers x-apertures. The 2 mrad lattice has not yet been studied, or optimized for collimation yet.
The most important R & D subjects affecting the collimation baseline are as follows:
R&D for alternative with consumable spoilers
--
renewable spoiler design and prototyping
-- development
of damage detection
-- study of MPS issues
A lot of muons are generated - predominantly as Bethe-Heitler pairs - in electromagnetic showers induced in the collimators and other BDS elements during the beam halo cleaning. Fluxes of these muons accompanied by other secondary particles, could exceed the tolerable levels at the detector by a few orders of magnitude [Mokhov_Conf_05_154]. Calculated with the MARS code muon flux equals to 4.1 1/cm^2 s^-1, or 7600 muons in the tunnel aperture for 150 bunches from one beam (with halo population 0.1%). This is to be compared to a few muons allowed in such a sensitivity window. The mean energy of these muons is about 27~GeV. About 700000 photons and 200000 electrons accompany these muons at the detector. The fluxes doubles for energetic muons for two beams.
Magnetized spoilers sealing the tunnel would reduce muon fluxes substantially. MARS calculations were performed for two iron spoilers 9 and 18 m thick at 648 and 331 m from the IP, respectively [Mokhov_Conf_05_154]. The square spoilers are extended by 0.6 m in the tunnel walls and dirt on each side. The field of 1.5 T is used in opposite polarity on left and right sides to compensate it at the beam pipe center. Central gaps are 10 cm wide and 1 m high with 0.8 T field. The gap between the parts is as the beam pipe. This set of spoilers reduces muon background load on the detector from 7600 to 2.2, i.e. to about an acceptable level. Other particle fluxes coming from the tunnel are also down in about the same proportion.
Two alternatives to the muon tunnel spoilers need to be investigated: muon attenuator (about 120m long collar at with 1T field, 0.6m OD) and wide-aperture magnets.
The most important R & D subjects in this area are as follows:
(Text of this subsection may need to
be moved to extraction section).
MARS simulations confirm that
synchrotron photons produced from the beam core and halo upstream of the IP are
collimated by the photon masks and - with an appropriate design - their
contribution to backgrounds and radiation loads to extraction line components is
negligible. Same with beamstrahlung photons which form a very narrow beam. e+e-
pairs and synchrotron photons generated by disrupted beam remain the main source
of the IP backgrounds and radiation loads to detector, final focus and
extraction components.
At high luminosity and 120-nm vertical offset total radiation load in extraction beam line is 13.3 kW with a 600 W/m peak. Without a vertical offset, these numbers are a factor of ten lower. This is to be compared to estimated tolerance levels of 10 W/m for superconducting magnets and a few hundred W/m for conventional magnets.
Section updated December 2, 2005, with IR magnets description by B.Parker. Need to expand IR description. Primary authors responsible for this section: B.Parker, Y.Nosochkov, K.Tsuchiya, T.Mihara
The compact SC quads provide possibility to focus the incoming and outgoing
beam independently, maximizing the luminosity performance and minimizing the
losses of the disrupted beam. Expanded description of compact superconducting
magnets for 20mrad baseline IR (or for intermediate crossing angle) is given in
[Parker_20050915].
This includes description of BNL direct wind technology [BNL_direct_wind],
details of engineering design, characteristics of the quads for incoming and
outgoing beamlines, plans for stability study of such magnet, etc. A short 38cm
prototype of SC QD0 has been built and successfully tested [Parker_20050816,Parker_20050915],
exceeding the expectation for the design gradient.
A
self-shielded design of QD0 has been recently suggested, which allows reduction
of crossing angle [Parker_20050818,Parker_20050823,Parker_20050913],
and will be used for development of intermediate crossing angle alternatives.
The cancellation of the external field with a shield coil has been successfully
demonstrated in the recent tests at BNL.
The 14mrad IR
based on self shielded compact quad was designed, see section Intermediate
crossing angle 14mrad.
Intermediate crossing angle 14
mrad
Design of intermediate crossing angle (14mrad at
L*=3.51m) has been presented in mid October at Nanobeam 2005. The design
includes optics of incoming and extraction line, see [Nanobeam_Markiewicz_20051019]
and [SLAC_PUB_11591],
design of FD magnets [Nanobeam_Parker_20051018,
Nanobeam_Parker_20051021],
IR optics optimization and background simulations [Nanobeam_Seryi_IR_20051019],
as well as considerations for civil engineering upgrade scenarios from single
14mrad IR to two IRs [Nanobeam_Seryi_Civil_20051019]
with small or larger crossing angle of the second IR. The IR final quads are
based on self-shielding concept [Parker_20050818,
Parker_20050823]
which eliminates the field interference between beamlines. The IR magnets are
shown in Fig.1
and Fig.2
(taken from B.Parker summary [Nanobeam_Parker_20051021])
and are based on tested prototype, see Fig.3.
The 14mrad crossing angle reduces the SR effects, allowing greater flexibility
in optimization of vertical orbit and background, which now can be as low as in
2mrad IR, see Fig.4
and [Nanobeam_Markiewicz_20051019,

The 20 mrad extraction design [Nosochkov_20050817_20mrad] is based on the independent beamline for the spent beams, without shared FF magnets. The outgoing primary e+(e-) beam and the beamstrahlung photons are transported through the same extraction magnets to a shared 18.3 MW dump. The optics consists of the initial DFDF quadrupole system followed by the two vertical diagnostic chicanes and two protection collimators before the dump. The first four quadrupoles after IP will be superconducting followed by warm magnets downstream. A 2 m space after the last SC quadrupole is reserved to accommodate the crab-cavity on the incoming line. The extraction apertures and quadrupole focusing are optimized for a large energy acceptance to minimize the disrupted beam loss caused by overfocusing in the low energy tail. The magnet apertures are sufficient for a photon beam with up to ±1.25 mrad angle at IP. The optics provides the 2nd focal point with the required beam size of s < 100 µm for the Compton polarimeter diagnostics [Moffeit_SLACPUB11322]. The extraction magnets are compatible with up to 1 TeV CM beams.
The first SC extraction quadrupole QDEX1 is placed side-by-side with the first SC incoming quadrupole QD0 at L* = 3.51 m after IP. This choice is based on the SC compact quadrupole design [Parker_20050915] which makes it possible to have independent SC coils with a small transverse separation. The QDEX1 has a low strength to limit its residual field on the incoming line and built-in correction coils to compensate for QD0 residual field on the extraction line. The first diagnostic chicane will serve as the energy spectrometer. It will include wiggler magnets to produce synchrotron radiation at ±2 mrad directions to measure the average beam energy using SR stripe detectors. The polarization measurement will be performed by a Compton polarimeter, with the Compton IP located at the 2nd focus at center of the second chicane. The horizontal angular amplification term R22 from the IP to the Compton IP is adjusted close to -0.5 for maximum sensitivity to the measured effects. A long 170 m drift is included before the dump to increase the undisrupted beam size. Further increase of this size is required for a realistic dump design [Walz_20050817]. This can be achieved by a longer drift and/or the use of beam rastering. The two collimators before the dump serve to limit the size of the disrupted beam and the beamstrahlung photons to the 15×15 cm size of the dump window [Walz_20050817].
It has been shown that the effect of detector solenoid on the extraction optics and beam loss can be compensated using dipole and quadrupole correcting coils on the first SC quadrupoles [Nosochkov_20050510]. The particle tracking [Nosochkov_20050817_20mrad, Drozhdin_20mr_extr, Ferrari_20050831] showed that the primary beam loss in magnets is acceptable in the 0.5 TeV and 1 TeV CM nominal luminosity options. The power loss in the 0.5 TeV CM high luminosity option and the two alternative 1 TeV CM high luminosity options [Seryi_20050817] may be acceptable, provided that the loss of ~500 W/m in warm magnets is acceptable. The 0.5 TeV CM high luminosity option will require a larger aperture in the 3rd and 4th SC quadrupoles to reduce loss to 2 W/m in these quadrupoles. The maximum loss of the charged and photon beams on the collimators is 5 kW and 200 kW (per collimator) in the nominal and high luminosity options, respectively.

The 2 mrad extraction optics [Angal-Kalinin_20050816]
is based on large aperture superconducting QD0 magnet (the technology of this
magnet is described in BCD for 2 mrad IR magnets) and a warm pocket coil
quadrupole QF1 [Spencer_Parker_20050524].
Very large aperture superconducting sextupoles are required to provide focussing
to the low energy tail particles, the studies of such large bore sextupoles have
already started [Kashikhin_20050419].
L* of 4.5m has been considered in this case to accommodate the superconducting
large aperture magnets. The final doublet is optimized for both the incoming as
well as the outgoing beam. The collimation depth for this doublet is sufficient
[Jackson_private_comm].
The large aperture special magnets; either warm Panofsky or the superconducting
super septum [Spencer_Parker_20050524]
starting at a distance of ~36 m from the IP contain the extracted beam and the
beamstralung cone. Separate warm magnets start from ~47m. The optics contains
energy cleanup chicane in the vertical plane, followed by the energy
spectrometry and polarimeter chicanes [Moffeit_20050422,Nosochkov_20050817].
The beam is made parallel to the IP at the second focus for polarimetry. A long
drift space after the polarimetry chicane provides enough separation (~3.5m)
between the incoming and extracted beams for the beam dump. This drift also
helps to increase the beam size of undisrupted beam at the window. However,
additional sweeping/rastering mechanism needs to be included in this design to
achieve the beam sizes as required for the beam dump and beam window [Maslov_TESLA2001_07,Walz_20050809].
Throughout the extraction line, dedicated collimation sections have been
provided to control beam loss. The optics design has been optimized to localize
beam losses on the collimators and minimize them on magnets [Drozhdin_20mr_extr].
Estimated beam loss rates on the extraction line magnets can reach tens to
hundreds of Watts per meter [Mokhov_private_comm].
A table of tolerable beam losses and radiation loads on superconducting and
conventional magnets of types envisioned in the extraction line needs to be
generated [Mokhov_private_comm].
Detector Integrated Dipole is not required for 2 mrad case and the orbit and
angle correction will be done by moving the final doublet.
The possible locations of the IP feedback BPMs need to be
identified, taking into account also the background conditions [Hartin_20050818].
For 2mrad, the feedback BPM may need to be located in front of the FD, where the
envelope of outgoing beam is still small. The outgoing beam comes to this BPM
with an offset and is separated in time from incoming beam. One need to study
the possibility to detect the BPM signal in this situation. Preliminary study
show that using directional stripline BPMs one can achieve sufficient separation
between signals [BDS_mtg_smith_20050329].
For the IP feedback, a kicker need to be included into FD
as close as possible to QD0 (to maximize the feedback capture range) [BDS_mtg_seryi_20051004].
For 2mrad case, the kicker aperture should be about 180mm. Preliminary studies
show that the kicker is feasible [BDS_mtg_smith_20051101].
The optics studies indicate that it is possible to get a good bandwidth for the final focus optics for the long doublet used in this case [Seryi_20050811]. The preliminary studies also indicate that it is possible to use the 2 mrad extraction scheme for the e-e- operation [Seryi_20050812].
In 2mrad FD, energy deposition in SC QD0 due to radiative Bhabhas need to be mitigated. These particles are deposited along the QD0, primarily in the horizontal plane, in a narrow vertical stripe. The energy density exceeds the safe limit of 0.5mW/g by about a factor of three, for the nominal 500GeV CM parameters. For 1TeV case the density is ~2 higher. This issue can be solved with use of 3mm thin tungsten liner, which reduces the energy density by about a factor of ten [BDS_mtg_keller_20050726].
R&D, prototypes required:
1. Super septum and Panofsky
quadrupoles
2. Large aperture sextupoles [final doublet quadrupoles including
pocket coil quadrupole need to be mentioned in IR magnets section of the
BCD]
3. Detector integration of large aperture quadrupoles and sextupoles
within the detector [based on the feedback on detector opening procedure].
4.
Study possibility to integrate feedback BPM into FD and detect its signal in
presence of large offset and of the incoming beam.
5. Integration of the
large aperture feedback kicker into FD.
6. Design tungsten liner for QD0, to
reduces energy density due to radiative Bhabhas [this should appear in IR magnet
section]

radiation loads on superconducting and conventional magnets

extraction line magnets

Overview:
For a large crossing angle at the IP a crab cavity
system is required in the baseline to increase the luminosity by horizontally
rotating the bunch by half the crossing angle, without deflecting the bunch or
greatly increasing the beam emittance. In the 20 mrad case the luminosity loss
without a crab cavity is 80% [Burt_EuroTeV].
In 2mrad case, the loss is 10-15% with nominal parameters
[Burt_EuroTeV]
and the loss can reach about 30% for large sigma Y parameter set [Seryi_20050310].
Luminosity loss in 2mrad can be avoided with use of dispersion at the IP,
however it requires introducing additional correlated energy spread and causes
higher energy bias (100-200ppm) of the luminosity spectrum [Seryi_20050310].
Therefore, crab cavity considered essential for 2mrad as well.
The crab-cavity will be placed near FD in 20mrad case,
and approximately in the region of QF5 quadrupole (about 400m from IP) in 2mrad
case (for the reason of transverse separation with another beam, see [BDS_mtg_seryi_20041207]).
To avoid deflecting the bunch the phase of the cavities must be highly
stable.
The ILC bunches require, at 500GeV and for a
20mrad crossing angle, a transverse kick equivalent to approximately 6.5MV for
3.9GHz cavities (19.5MV for 1.3GHz). The phase jitter between crab cavities
should be less than 0.07 degrees for a 3.9GHz system or 0.02 degrees for a
1.3GHz system, with a 20mrad crossing angle [Burt_EuroTeV].
Cavity baseline:
Fermilab 3.9GHz CKM superconductive cavity [McAshan_TM2144,Solyak_LINAC04]
three/four 9-cell cavities running at 6MV/m placed near the Final Doublet. The
total length of this cavity should be about 4m long and has an aperture diameter
of 30mm.
Issues: This cavity may not be rigid
enough to keep microphonics to the required level. Lower order mode coupler lies
11mm from centre of the beampipe. ILC application requires redesign of coupler
to open the aperture.
Justification: This cavity
has been under development for several years, and its research program is at an
advanced stage.
R&D required: Cryostat design
including cavity tuner, x-y tuner and roll tuner. Effective damping of LOM,
damping of modes (SOM) within pass-band of primary deflecting mode and reliable
separation of unwanted polarization of deflecting mode, beam pipe HOM coupler
for high frequency modes above beam pipe cut-off frequency, search for trapped
modes, beam loading. Multipacting simulations in cavity and coupler regions for
the deflecting mode operation. Microphonics/rigidity. Evaluation of losses in
the crab cavity region as a function of aperture. Evaluation of crab cavity
length on extraction line design.
Alternatives: 13
cell CKM, CKM with larger aperture (~5m), NC (normal conducting) cavity
(4.5metres) [Adolphsen_20050301],
1.3GHz cavity (~9 meters), 3.9GHz redesigned lower loss shape (~3.5 meters),
stiffening rings.
Phase control and Distribution baseline:
Fast phase control based
on FPGA (field-programmable gate array) with vector-sum phase control driven by
two 3kW klystrons with one modulator.
Issues: The
use of two klystrons can induce jitter due to the klystrons phase stability.
Justification: This is a well-developed and tested
fast phase control system.
R&D required:
Working system built at the operating frequency. Piezo tuners. Distribution
test; the full length of line should be tested for phase jitter. Cavity phase
stability tests: The phase jitter between two or more cavities should be tested
both with and without a beam at full power.
Alternatives: High power ferrite phase shifters driven by a single high
power klystron, 2nd klystron phase control at high power, individual cavity
phase control, RF reference distribution using fiber optics [Naito_PAC2001],
use of IOTs (inductive output tube) instead of klystrons if the frequency is
appropriate.
The fast beam-beam intra-train feedback is a must and is baseline, as well as
slower train-by-train feedback. The alternative is to consider additional
intra-train feedback loops at the entrance to BDS and throughout the linac.
Baseline configuration of final doublet does not have any active means of its
mechanical stabilization, but includes vibration measurement of FD as part of
the baseline. This would give diagnostic for fast beam-beam feedback, may reduce
commissioning time and may improve feedback convergence time. Possible
implementations include accelerometer on cryostat, interferometry from cold mass
to cryostat and interferometry from the cold mass to an external reference
(invasive but by far the best). One of the most challenging tasks in design of
fast feedback is its integration into IR, taking into account background
conditions [Hartin_20050818],
realistic constraints on kicker location and apertures [BDS_mtg_seryi_20051004,
BDS_mtg_smith_20051101]
and all engineering details of FD.
The needed r&d
includes prototype of the intra-train feedback, being done at ATF and ATF2
[Nanobeam_Burrows_20051021],
beam-test of BPMs in realistic background conditions planned to be performed at
ESA, design work on incorporating kicker and BPM hardware into the final
doublet, developments of methods to monitor FD stability, e.g. by means of
interferometry (tests ongoing at UBC and planned at ATF). For the alternative
configuration when additional feedbacks are used, feasibility studies and
optimization will be necessary.
The issue which define whether ILC can work with baseline feedback
configuration (intratrain feedback at IP only) depends on the achieved ILC
stability. The need for a stability specifications for ILC was one of the
actions items identified at Snowmass, at the joint WG1/WG4 meeting. The ILC
stability goals were discussed at Nanobeam 2005 workshop on October 17-21, see
[Nanobeam_Seryi_20051017].
Suggested stability goals for the beam jitter, in a brief summary, are the
following: up to 50% sigma at the end of linac (or in BDS diagnostics); up to
100% sigma at the end of BDS, before FD; several sigmas at IP. These goals will
be consistent with baseline feedback configuration. The beam stability goals
translates to required stability of the tunnel floor and give limit to
additional noise due to beamline components, namely:
--
Tunnel floor stability (site + noise of nearby ILC equipment):
Linac area: up to ground motion model K or C
BDS area: up to ground motion B*3 or gm C/3
and
--
Additional noise due to beamline
components:
Linac area: up to 30
nm
BDS area : up to 10
nm
FD : up to ~100nm
Exceeding these stability limits will likely require using
multiple intratrain feedbacks along the machine. These stability
requirements need to to be discussed and set consistently by the DR, Linac and
BDS groups.
Stability and background vibration
were studied at many sites, including most of the sample sites under
considerations. Data can be found in [CERN_SL_94_41]
for LEP tunnel data, [PRSTAB_e031001]
for data near Fermilab. Data for DESY site as well as recent comparison of
different sites can be found in [Amirikas_Nanobeam05].
R&D required :
-- studies of stability of
sites (preliminary data exist for most of the sample
sites)
-- investigation and minimization of vibration
produced by conventional facility, power supplies, and other in- and near-tunnel
equipment
-- studies and minimization of noises generated
at or amplified by the beamline elements in linac and BDS, in particular linac
quads in the cryostats and BDS magnets
-- studies and
optimization of stability properties of final doublet.

The baseline beam dump is based on water vortex design rated for 18MW beam
[Walz_20050817,
Appleby_20050914].
The choice of a water dump for the baseline has many advantages: the water dump
has been studied in detail for accelerator projects and a lower power (2MW) beam
dump was used at the SLC [Walz_IEEE1965].
Furthermore the problems of the larger dump design have been noted, and the
studies indicate there are no “show-stoppers”. The water dump for the TESLA
project was studied in detail at DESY [Bialowons_TESLA200104].
The alternatives suggested in the ACD require more R+D to be sufficiently mature
for a baseline design. The beam dump is common for charged beam and photons for
the 20mrad interaction region layout, while for 2mrad layout the photon dump is
separate (rated to about 1MW).
There are separate beam
dumps rated for full power for all beam lines including tune-up lines, for a
total of six beam dumps in the baseline. The tune-up dumps are sufficiently
remote from the IP, so that the collider halls can be accessed for detector
maintenance while the linac is being tuned, and full beam sent to tune-up
dump.
Discussion of pro/cons of separate full power
tune-up dumps have started [BDS_mtg_20051129].
Technically, the elimination of two full power tune-up dumps should be possible,
there will be impact on availability which may be partly mitigated by reduced
power tune-up dumps (~0.5MW), the cost saving need to be further evaluated,
detailed design would need to be made.
The water flow is
sufficient to avoid volume boiling of the water (for disrupted beam). The
vacuum/water boundary consists of a suitably thin window. The cyclic stress of
the window is controlled by limiting the temperature rise per pulse of the water
system. The undisrupted beam size is allowed to increase in the extraction line,
to avoid damaging the window, which required lengthening the extraction line by
a hundred meters or so. Preventing water boiling due to undisrupted beam has to
be done by sweeping the beam in the final part of the extraction line, as it
require large increase of the beam size, which cannot be realistically done with
lengthening the drift length. The water circuit consists of two closed loops and
an external water circuit. The inner water loop is pressurized to 10bar and has
a volume of around 18 cubic meters. The length of the dump, including all
shielding, is about 25m longitudinally and about 15m transversely.
The
required R+D items for the baseline are a study of window survivability, and the
corresponding computation of the displacement per atom (DPA). A window
replacement procedure and schedule can then be developed. A prototype of the
window and a beam test are also necessary. The required test beam must give
similar energy densities in the window as the full ILC machine. Furthermore,
some studies of pressure wave formation maybe necessary.
The alternative
beam dump design is the gas dump [Leuschner_20030916].
This consists of about 1km of a noble gas (Ar looks the most promising) enclosed
in a water cooled iron jacket. The gas core acts as a scattering target, blowing
the beam up and distributing the energy into the surrounding iron. This gas dump
design may ease some issues such as radiolysis and tritium production, and a gas
profile can be exploited to produce a uniform energy deposition along the length
of the dump. However, other issues arise such as particle beam heating of the
gas and ionization effects [Agapov_20050914].
Further studies needed to understand feasibility and benefits of the gas dump. A
further possibility is a gas/water hybrid dump, involving the use of a shorter
gas dump as a passive beam expander, followed by a small water dump. This option
also required further study. A further possibility is for a rotating solid dump
immersed in water, or a dump based on some kind of liquid metal.
The
required R+D items for the alternative design are studies of gas heating,
including ionization effects, and a study of radiation and activation effects. A
study of the gas dump windows is also required. A smaller scale prototype of the
dump, and some test beam, would also be required.

Precision absolute beam energy measurements are required by the ILC physics program to set the absolute energy scale for measurements of particle masses. In both direct reconstruction and threshold scans, the center-of-mass collision energy needs to be measured to an absolute accuracy below 200 ppm to keep collision energy uncertainties from dominating experimental uncertainties of 50 MeV for both the Higgs and top quark masses. To reach this goal, a target uncertainty of 100 ppm on the absolute beam energy has been set.
In addition to the absolute beam energy measurement, relative measurements of the beam energy pulse-to-pulse along the train at the 100 ppm level are seen to be critically important to keep the variation in beam energy at an acceptable level and mitigate the impact of correlations between beam energy variations and other beam parameters such as luminosity or polarization. Relative measurements of the disrupted energy spectrum made downstream of the interaction point are also seen as useful to provide direct information about the collision process and provide data to validate models of beam-beam effects in the collision process.
To achieve the challenging goal of a 100 ppm absolute beam energy measurement, two independent and complimentary detectors are planned for each beam. Upstream from the IP, a spectrometer with a four-magnet chicane and precision RF-BPMs will be used. This device, an evolution of the LEP-II energy spectrometer [cite], is designed to be capable of making high-precision bunch-to-bunch relative measurements in addition to measuring the absolute beam energy scale. Downstream from the IP, a spectrometer using synchrotron radiation in the style of the SLC WISRD [cite] is planned. This device can also monitor the energy spectrum of the disrupted beams during collisions.
This section may be edited further.
The upstream energy spectrometer is an evolution of the LEP-II spectrometer design. A four-magnet chicane in the instrumentation region (figure link) provides a point of dispersion which can be measured using triplets of high-precision RF BPMs. To avoid emmittance dilution, the maximum bend angle for this chicane is expected to be less than 100 micro-Radians. With a characteristic spectrometer length of about 10 meters, the maximum displacement of the beam will be a few millimeters. To achieve the required spectrometer performance, then, this displacement must be measured to an accuracy and precision below 100 nanometers.
Rather than require the BPMs to achieve this accuracy over a large dynamic range, the design includes precision actuators and movers to keep the beam nearly centered in the BPMs at all times. These actuators, then provide the bulk of the position information, which only small corrections being provided by the BPMs themselves. One key aspect of this design is the ability to calibrate the straight-line reference line on a time scale which is comparable to the mechanical and electrical stability of the system. This straight-line reference can be derived by ramping the chicane magnets and either making measurements with zero field, or reversing the field polarity an making position measurements at positive and negative deflection angles. The details of this calibration procedure and requirements on the magnet system still need to be specified in detail.
The nanoBPM project has demonstrated RF BPM precision and stability below 50 nm for several hours [cite], although with somewhat reduced aperture as would be foreseen in the upstream spectrometer. Using this experience, designs for the spectrometer BPMs are currently being developed. It is important to investigate the sensitivity of these devices to the details of beam tilt, beam size, bunch length, backgrounds, etc. Beam tests of these devices are foreseen to begin at SLAC ESA in the end of 2005.
The downstream energy spectrometer is an evolution of the SLC WISRD design. A three-magnet chicane in the extraction line provides the necessary beam deflection, while the trajectory of the beam in the chicane is measured using synchrotron radiation produced in wiggler magnets imaged ~70 meters downstream at a secondary focus near the polarimeter chicane.
The layout of the instrumentation chicanes and detectors for both the energy spectrometer and polarimeter is indicated for 2 mRad and 20 mRad extraction lines. With a 3 mRad bend angle in the energy chicane and about 70 meters between the chicane and the synchrotron radiation detector plane, the effective single-beam dispersion at the detector plane is nearly 1 GeV/mm.
To achieve a 100 ppm accuracy, a position-sensitive detector for synchrotron radiation with a pitch of order 100 microns is necessary. While the WISRD used a fine wire array to achieve similar performance, the Oregon group (Torrence) is pursuing R&D into using the Cherenkov radiation produced by secondary electrons in quartz fibers. The advantages of this approach over wires are simplicity in readout, speed, radiation hardness, and potentially reduced cross-talk between channels. Any radiation hard position sensitive detector (like diamond strips) could potentially be used.
The immediate R&D required for the spectrometers is listed here:
For the longer term, a full-scale prototype of both a BPM-based and synchrotron radiation-based spectrometer are foreseen for SLAC ESA.
References need to be fixed.

The luminosity of a linear collider will be measured with a precision of 10-3 or better by measuring the Bhabha rate in the polar region from 30-90 mrad in the LUMICAL detector [Stahl_LCDET200504]. At 500 GeV center-of-mass energy, the expected rate in this region is ~10 Bhabhas per bunch train. At smaller polar angles of 5-30 mrad the rate or energy deposition of beamstrahlung e+e- pairs can be measured in the BEAMCAL detector for a fast luminosity diagnostic. The expected rate in BEAMCAL is 15,000 pairs (and 50 TeV energy deposition) per bunch crossing.
BEAMCAL is expected to be useful for machine tuning and can be used for the fast IP feedback [Burrows_LCWS05] planned to stabilize the colliding beams. In addition to its total energy or rate signals for a luminosity diagnostic, the spatial distributions of pairs in BEAMCAL may be useful for determining some of the beam collision parameters such as spotsizes and bunch lengths [White_Stahl_Yamamoto].
LumiCal and BeamCal are positioned inside the Detector just in front of the first quadrupole magnets.[Moenig_200408] LUMICAL is planned to be a segmented silicon-tungsten calorimeter. BEAMCAL must be very radiation hard and a finely segmented diamond-tungsten calorimeter is planned, though other technologies are also studied. BEAMCAL should also provide good hermeticity and efficiency for detecting high energy electrons; these are needed to suppress brackgrounds from copious 2-photon events in new particle searches (ex. SUSY). A possible layout of the very forward region of an ILC detector [Abramowicz_NSCI2004], in this case designed for head-on collisions or a small crossing angle, is shown in Figure 1.

Precise polarimetry with 0.25% accuracy is needed.[Moortgat-Pick_hep-ph0507011] Compton polarimeters are being designed to achieve this and have been included in the baseline beam delivery design.[Moffeit_SLACPUB11322,Meyners_LCWS05] Preliminary designs for polarimeter diagnostic chicanes are included upstream and downstream of the IP for both the 2mrad and 20mrad IR designs. Detailed studies are underway to refine these designs and evaluate their performance capabilities. To achieve the best accuracy for polarimetry and to aid in the alignment of the spin vector, it is desirable to implement polarimeters both upstream and downstream of the IR. The beam optics need to be designed such that the polarization vector can be fully longitudinal simultaneously at the collider IP and the two polarimeter IPs.
The upstream polarimeter measures the undisturbed beam during collisions. The relatively clean environment allows a laser system that measures every single bunch in the train and a large lever arm in analyzing power for a multi-channel polarimeter, which facilitates internal systematic checks.
The downstream polarimeter measures a priory the polarization of the outgoing beam after collision. The average depolarization for colliding beams is 0.3%, and for the outgoing beam 1%. Due to a clever choice of the extraction line optics the beam can, however, be focused such that its polarization is very similar to the luminosity-weighted polarization. The polarization of the undisturbed beam can be measured as well with non-colliding beams. The much higher background requires a high power laser that can only probe one or a few bunches per train and the lever arm in analyzing power is smaller.
The upstream polarimeters are located ~1400 meters before the e+e- IP. The design has evolved from an earlier study for the TESLA machine.[Gharibyan_LCDET200147] Most major aspects of this work, except for the spectrometer configuration, remain valid for the ILC. In particular it is foreseen to use a similar laser as will be used for the electron source. A prototype for such a laser was developed by Max-Born Institute,[Schreiber_NIM2000] for the TTF injector, and is well adapted to the ILC pulse structure.
Dedicated 4-magnet chicane spectrometers will be employed, similar to those at the extraction line polarimeters. This will eliminate some of the operational shortcomings inherent in the original TESLA design that relied on beamline magnets in the existing BDS lattice. A schematic layout of the chicane spectrometer is shown in Figure 1.The horizontal width of the good field region of the individual dipoles is chosen to accommodate a maximum dispersion of 11 cm for the lowest expected beam energy of 45.6 GeV for the Giga-Z option. The laser beam enters and exits between the inner two dipoles, which must be separated by some 8 meters for a vertical beam crossing of 10 mrad. A possible optical arrangement was given at LCWS-05.[Meyners_LCWS05]
Compton electrons generated at the laser IP at mid-chicane will propagate essentially along the electron beam direction . The third dipole D3 will fan out the Compton electron spectrum, while the fourth dipole can be used to restore the angular direction, if it has sufficient width. The Compton electrons are detected behind the last dipole in a gas Cerenkov hodoscope with 20 identical channels.[Meyners_LCWS05]
The layout for the 20 mrad crossing angle interaction region shown in Figure 2 has the Compton interaction point approximately 142 meters downstream from the e+e- Interaction Point. All bends are in the vertical plane. The extraction line apertures are designed to accommodate the ±0.75mrad cone of beamsstrahlung photons produced in the e+e- interaction and the low energy disrupted electrons. The 2 mrad crossing angle extraction line first moves the extracted beam away from the incoming beam line and then bends the beam back to the direction it had at the e+e- interaction point . This is done in the horizontal plane as shown in Figure 3. The Compton polarimeter is located 226 meters downstream from the 2 mrad crossing angle e+e- interaction point and the polarimeter chicane bends in the vertical plane.
The Compton interaction point is located at a secondary focus in the middle of a chicane with 20 mm dispersion, but with no net bend angle with respect to the primary IP.[Moffeit_SLACPUB10669] At the middle of the chicane the Compton scattering occurs and the scattered electron is confined to a cone having a half-angle of 2µrad and is effectively collinear with the initial electron direction. The beam-beam depolarization effects are measured in the extraction line polarimeter directly by comparing beams in and out of collision. Also, spin precession effects due to the final focus optics and beam-beam deflections can be studied by correlating the polarization and Interaction Point beam position monitor measurements.
A 532-nm (2.33eV) circularly polarized laser beam collides with the electron beam in the middle of the Polarimeter Chicane . Compton-scattered electrons near the kinematic edge at 25.1 GeV are detected in segmented detectors near the last chicane magnet.
R&D Required for Alternative Configuration
The ILC BDS is being designed to be optimal up to 500GeV CM (1TeV CM in
upgrade).
Realizing that the question of multi-TeV
upgrade goes much beyond the scope of the working group, the group suggests that
serious consideration need to be given by the whole community to studying the
advantages and disadvantages of not precluding the multi-TeV compatibility.
Technical implications and cost impact due to multi-TeV constraints will have
to be studied. Such constraints were discussed in the recently (November 10,
2005) published report [CERN_Open_2005_024]
and includes:
-- crossing angle about 20mrad
required
-- horizontal bend between high energy end on the
linac and beam delivery should be less than 2mrad, zero for
vertical
-- strongly prefer laser straight linac
tunnels
-- provision to add tunnel alcoves every 600m to
house a drive beam return loop and 2MW drive beam dump
--
strongly prefer ground motion to be no worse than model A or
B
-- surface space 1200x250m in IP region to house the
drive beam generation complex
-- provision to connect to
power grid with capacity 450MW
-- main beam dumps for
20MW, very similar to ILC
Several of these constraints are related to BDS. In particular, the linacs need to be pointing to the larger crossing angle IR. In the present baseline with two IRs with 20/2mrad, satisfying this constraint does not affect the performance and does not necessarily affects the cost. This layout choice, however, may affect site selection, for example because the orientation of linacs at angle widens the site, and this could make it more difficult to place the collider under a straight power-line (may be partly mitigated by horizontal back kinks at the middle of the linac). The linacs-at-an-angle layout may complicate, but would not make impossible moving the IP many km downstream, if such possibility would ever be needed. The laser straight tunnel may have cost impact in comparison with tunnel which follows earth curvature closer to surface. These and other configuration issues, technical and cost implications need to be studied seriously and the impact will be clearly strongly site dependent.
