The LHC 450 GeV to 7 TeV Synchrotron Radiation Profile Monitor using a Superconducting Undulator R. Jung, P. Komorowski, L. Ponce, D. Tommasini CERN, CH1211 Geneva 23, Switzerland Abstract. In LHC it will be important to measure with precision and in a non-destructive way the proton beam profiles from 450 GeV to 7 TeV. The chosen monitor will make use of a 5 T superconducting Undulator with two periods coupled to the D3 bending magnet built by BNL. From the various variants studied, this combination is the only one which could cover the whole LHC energy range. By locating both magnets in the same cryostat, it will be possible to minimise the light source length for best precision. The choice of the undulator parameters and its basic design will be described. The evolution of the synchrotron radiation patterns along the energy ramp will be given, as well as the performance with respect to sensitivity, depth of field and diffraction, with a description of the simulation codes used. INTRODUCTION There is a strong need in LHC to measure the beam profiles all along a run. The tight emittance budget asks to measure the emittance at beam injection at 450 GeV to check that the limit of 5% blow-up between the circular machines is respected. A turnby-turn measurement during the first tens of turns will check that the matching between the accelerators is done properly (1). A relative accuracy of the order of a few percent is requested for the measurement of the turn by turn profile oscillations that are the signature of a mismatch. The beam size evolution has then to be followed through the acceleration cycle from 450 GeV to 7 TeV where the beam size shrinks substantially but for which a normalised emittance blow-up of less than 7% is requested. Finally, the beam profile has to be measured with a relative accuracy better than a few percent to adjust the aperture controlling collimators. During all these phases, there is also a demand to measure individual bunches out of the 2808 circulating bunches, at various locations in a 72 bunches batch in order to identify beam dynamics problems. An ideal monitor for these tasks is a non-intercepting monitor. One monitor of this kind is a Synchrotron Radiation (SR) monitor. The main candidate was a monitor close to a physics Interaction Region (IR), IR1 or IR5, using the light generated in one of the dogleg bending magnets, D2, bringing the beams back to the nominal LHC separation after the increased separation in the IR. This monitor was in a favourable location where the beam size increases at top energy when the beams are brought into collision optics. Unfortunately, the light production within the spectral range of CP648, Beam Instrumentation Workshop 2002: Tenth Workshop, edited by G. A. Smith and T. Russo © 2002 American Institute of Physics 0-7354-0103-9/02/$19.00 220 available detectors, was only sufficient above 2 TeV. From injection energy to 2 TeV, another solution had to be found. Various solutions were looked at in the RF region IR4, using room temperature or superconducting undulators to generate enough light in the neighbourhood of the visible spectrum. These solutions could cover the 450 GeV to 2 TeV region, but were useless above, generating the additional problem of changing monitors during the delicate process of the energy ramp. An acceptable solution became possible when the IR4 layout was changed for economical reasons and a long dogleg was introduced to go from a separation of 420mm in the IR, dictated by the RF cavities, towards the 194mm in the standard LHC arc dipoles. With this layout, a superconducting Undulator could be introduced in front of the D3 separating magnet, which deflects the circulating beam from the SR generated in the Undulator. A mirror can be introduced to collect and deflect out of the vacuum chamber the SR after a drift of some 10m after D3. Above 2 TeV, the Undulator radiates again mostly outside the detector range, but this time the edge radiation of the D3 magnet will be used as SR source. Finally at top energy, the whole of D3 radiates enough SR, which has this time to be limited to a region close to the entrance edge for limiting the longitudinal acceptance of the imaging optics. SR CHARACTERISTICS OF THE UNDULATOR An Undulator is a periodic magnetic structure that concentrates the SR through interference in a cone in the forward direction along the beam path (2). It is characterised by a factor K, with K<1 for an Undulator: (1) 2nmpc where Au is the Undulator period and B0 the peak magnetic field on the beam axis. The coherence condition relates the emitted SR wavelength ?lc to a given direction 0 with respect to the beam axis and the Undulator characteristics by: (2) The angular spectral energy density in the deflection plane of the Undulator is given in equation (3), with the usual notations, k being a constant and Nu the number of Undulator periods. From this equation, it is clear that the light production will increase as B02. It can also be seen that the light production decreases when going away from the beam axis and that the light spectrum narrows around ?lc when the number of Undulator periods Nu increases: " '4. 2 dW (3) Based on these considerations, a two period superconducting Undulator, of 28cm period, and with a peak field of 5T was chosen. The relevant parameters of this 221 Undulator to ?l λco Undulator are: are: K= K= 0.07 0.07 and and λ?tcoco=608nm =608nm at at 450 450 GeV GeV and and already already down down to =55nm at at co=55nm 1.5 1.5 TeV TeV on on the the beam beam axis. axis. ItIt isis only only because because of of the the spectral spectral width width due due to to the the small small number –0.5/+1.5mrad, that number of of magnetic magnetic periods periods and and to to the the angular angular acceptance acceptance of of-0.5/+1.5mrad, that there there will will be be aa reasonable reasonable amount amountof ofenergy energyavailable availableininthe thespectral spectralrange rangeofofthe thedetectors. detectors.

At the top energy of 7 TeV, the D3 magnet is used, Undulator emits in the UV at large angles which can reach the detectors.whilst At thatthe Undulator emits in the UV at large angles which can reach the detectors. At that 224 energy the beams are also small, a~300|im, and D3 emits a large amount of light. For that reason, two detector set-ups are foreseen. As there is enough light available at high energy, a bandpass filter will be used together with a magnifying lens which will image the beam from the first image plane onto the second detector set. This set-up can also take into account the longitudinal separation of the Undulator and the D3 edge, which has to be kept below 80cm. Chromatic, linear density and polarisation filters are installed as well as a slit in the focal plane to restrict the acceptance in D3. The magnification is determined by the 4m focal length spherical mirror and the 23x23|im2 pixel size. It has been set to G=0.2 in order to have 3 pixels per sigma at 7 TeV, which gives then 13 pixels per sigma at injection. One of the limitations of the performance is the distance by which the light extraction mirror has to be retracted from the beam. For the moment, a distance of 15<JH has been asked for. It is hoped that with operational experience, this distance can be decreased to come closer to the machine aperture set by the collimators closed to ±7a. In any case, the extraction mirror will be movable, so that it can follow the 15<JH limit to improve the performance at high energy. Due to the long distance to travel and the small opening of the light cone, proper alignment has to be provided. A set-up using a folding mirror and a laser located close to the SR telescope will be used: see figure 5. A similar set-up has been used in LEP and has proven to be extremely useful. The Undulator itself has to be aligned on the entrance magnetic axis of D3 to a tolerance of the order of ±5mrad. Uoduiator folding mirror aligniitent Laser FIGURE 5. Monitor layout with alignment set-up of the optical elements of the SR telescope. PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS The photon production has been computed with the ray-tracing code Zgoubi (4). With the optics set-up described there will be a maximum of 200 photons per pixel (px) at injection and 80 103 photons/px at top energy for a pilot pulse of 5 109 protons in single turn mode. This will be sufficient to observe the beam behaviour in LHC before injecting and accelerating a nominal bunch. It should also be sufficient to check if there are sizeable matching errors. For a nominal bunch of 1.1 1011 protons, there will be 4 103 photons/px at injection and up to 2 106 photons/px at top energy. This will permit high precision measurements from a statistical point of view. But the 225 imperfections of the LHC monitor are due, to a large amount, to the source length, the imperfections of the LHC monitor are due, to a large amount, to the source length, the interference between the two sources and the diffraction of the SR light cone due to interference between the two sources and the diffraction of the SR light cone due to the small opening angle at high energy and the limited acceptance of the extraction the small opening angle at high energy and the limited acceptance of the extraction mirror. At 450 GeV, the emission pattern is a gaussian like cone with an opening of mirror. At 450 GeV, the emission pattern is a gaussian like cone with an opening of ~0.8mrad FWHM, within the acceptance of the extraction mirror. At 1 TeV, see figure ~0.8mrad FWHM, within the acceptance of the extraction mirror. At 1 TeV, see figure 2, the light pattern is the superposition of two sources, which will generate a beam 2, the light pattern is the superposition of two sources, which will generate a beam broadening through interference and diffraction.
