Minutes of ATF2 meeting 20120706
Presentations:
We have the two analyses on the swapping performance, which are complement studies indeed.
G. White showed that swapping has no significant effect for any of studied optics, BX2.5BY1, optimized BX10BY1 and present BX10BY1 (linear Twiss rematched from BX2.5BY1).
However, the present BX10BY1 is not enough for achieving the 37nm with the TWISS mismatch or large (horizontal) emittance observed by the OTRs. Optimization of strengths of all quadrupole and sextuple magnets is necessary to squeeze the beam size.
He also discussed on considerations for QD0/QF1 BPM removal for mitigate multipole field error of the final doublet.
T. Okugi showed in his slide-4 that there is no significant effect of the swapping up to beta*_x=6mm with the re-matched optics by using additional corrections of Ychro, Ygeom and SK1FF knobs, i.e. the beam size of less than 40nm can be achieved. Ychro and Ygeom are another multiknobs by changing strengths of 5 sextupole magnets in the final focus system.
He also reported effects of multipole field of final doublet and effect of additional skew quadrupole corrector.
1, Quad swapping in FF
Both G. White and T. Okugi reported that no significant improvement is expected by swapping magnets.
We decided that we do not swap magnets in this shutdown, because it would be risky with small expected benefit (also, the alignment team has other things to do).
Swapping in winter shutdown may be considered, if further studies show significant expected improvement.
There is a different opinion that we should make the beamline as good as possible.
2, Multipole field induced by feedthrough of S-band BPM attached to the Final Doublet (FD).
G. White (and SLAC team) proposed more study of the magnetic field.
(Report of Okugi also showed importance of multipole field of FD)
For studies: T. Tauchi will send drawings of the BPM to C. Spencer. Spencer will send instruction of magnetic field measurement to Tauchi.
3, Skew Sextupole Correctors
Okugi suggested adding a skew sextupole corrector (in addition to SK1FF).
More studies necessary on the effectiveness and effects of misalignment of the correctors.
White and Okugi will make reports on this issue in the next meeting.
4, Actual size of carbon wire at IP
Direct measurement of the wire was proposed by White.
N. Terunima will try, though it may be difficult to measure absolute size accurately.
