Simulations of incoherent effects driven by electron clouds forming in the inner triplets of the Large Hadron Collider
/ Paraschou, Konstantinos (CERN) ; Iadarola, Giovanni (CERN) ; Mether, Lotta (CERN)
During Run 2 and Run 3 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), slow losses from electron cloud (e-cloud) effects have been systematically observed during the full duration of fills with closely-spaced proton bunches. In particular, these effects had been found to depend strongly on the crossing angle of the two beams and the value of the betatron functions in the interaction points. [...]

Xsuite: an integrated beam physics simulation framework
/ Iadarola, Giovanni (CERN) ; Latina, Andrea (CERN) ; Abramov, Andrey (CERN) ; Montanari, Carlo Emilio (CERN) ; Droin, Colas (CERN) ; Di Croce, Davide (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Demetriadou, Despina (CERN) ; Soubelet, Felix (CERN) ; Van der Veken, Frederik (CERN) ; Sterbini, Guido (CERN) et al.
Xsuite is a modular simulation package bringing to a single flexible and modern framework capabilities of different tools developed at CERN in the past decades notably MAD-X Sixtrack Sixtracklib COMBI and PyHEADTAIL. The suite consists of a set of Python modules (Xobjects, Xpart, Xtrack, Xcoll, Xfields, Xdeps) that can be flexibly combined together and with other accelerator-specific and general-purpose python tools to study complex simulation scenarios.

Updated analysis of beam halo measurements in LHC Run 2 and Run 3
/ Rakic, Milica (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne ; CERN) ; Salvachua, Belen (CERN) ; Montanari, Carlo Emilio (Manchester U. ; CERN) ; Mirarchi, Daniele (CERN) ; Paraschou, Konstantinos (CERN) ; Giovannozzi, Massimo (CERN) ; Hermes, Pascal (CERN) ; Morales Vigo, Sara (CERN) ; Redaelli, Stefano (CERN)
Measurements of the transverse beam halo in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) provide crucial input for the performance evaluation of the collimation configuration in the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) era. Such measurements are carried out in various phases of the LHC operational cycle by scraping the beam with movable collimators. [...]

The electron cloud and its impact on LHC and future colliders
/ Mether, Lotta (CERN) ; Iadarola, Giovanni (CERN) ; Rumolo, Giovanni (CERN) ; Paraschou, Konstantinos (CERN) ; Sabato, Luca (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Johannesson, Sofia (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne)
The secondary emission of electrons and their interaction with the electromagnetic fields of charged particle beams can lead to the build-up of electron clouds in accelerator beam chambers. The interaction of the electrons with both the beam and the chamber walls leads to detrimental effects, such as transverse instabilities and emittance growth, beam loss, pressure rise and heat load.

Development of numerical tools for intra-beam scattering modelling
/ Soubelet, Felix (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Kostoglou, Sofia (CERN) ; Paraschou, Konstantinos (CERN) ; Zampetakis, Michail (CERN) ; Iadarola, Giovanni (CERN)
Intra-beam Scattering (IBS) is one of the main mechanisms of emittance blowup and performance deterioration in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator complex. It is particularly relevant since the recent upgrades across the injector complex to reach the high brightness beams of the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) era have been implemented. [...]

Bunch-by-bunch Tune Shift Studies for LHC-type Beams in the CERN SPS
/ Mases Solé, Ingrid (CERN ; Goethe U., Frankfurt (main)) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Paraschou, Konstantinos (CERN) ; Schenk, Michael (CERN) ; Zannini, Carlo (CERN)
After the implementation of major upgrades as part of the LHC Injector Upgrade Project (LIU), the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) delivers high intensity bunch trains with 25 ns bunch spacing to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These beams are exposed to several collective effects in the SPS, such as beam coupling impedance, space charge and electron cloud, leading to relatively large bunch-by-bunch coherent and incoherent tune shifts. [...]

Electron Cloud Effects in the CERN Accelerators in Run 3

Several of the machines in the CERN accelerator complex, in particular the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), are prone to the build-up of electron clouds. Electron cloud effects are observed especially when the machines are operated with a 25 ns bunch spacing, which has routinely been used in the LHC since the start of its second operational run in 2015.

Emittance Growth From Electron Clouds Forming in the LHC Arc Quadrupoles
/ Paraschou, Konstantinos (CERN) ; Bartosik, Hannes (CERN) ; Deniau, Laurent (CERN) ; Iadarola, Giovanni (CERN) ; Maclean, Ewen (CERN) ; Mether, Lotta (CERN) ; Papaphilippou, Yannis (CERN) ; Pieloni, Tatiana (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Potdevin, Joséphine (Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne) ; Rumolo, Giovanni (CERN) et al.
Operation of the Large Hadron Collider with proton bunches spaced 25 ns apart favours the formation of electron clouds. In fact, a slow emittance growth is observed in proton bunches at injection energy (450 GeV), showing a bunch-by-bunch signature that is compatible with electron cloud effects. [...]

Optimizing Resonance Driving Terms Using MAD-NG Parametric Maps
/ Deniau, Laurent (CERN) ; Kostoglou, Sofia (CERN) ; Maclean, Ewen (CERN) ; Paraschou, Konstantinos (CERN) ; Persson, Tobias (CERN) ; Tomás García, Rogelio (CERN)
In 2023, a review of the LHC octupolar resonance driving terms at injection was carried out, motivated by two observations: (i) unwanted losses during the injection process with strongly powered octupoles and (ii) an expected reduction in emittance growth from e-cloud effects in simulations with weaker octupolar resonances. The MAD-NG code was used to simultaneously optimise the main octupolar resonances: 4Qx, 4Qy, and 2Qx-2Qy by adjusting 16 quadrupole families and 16 octupole families, for a total of 32 parameters.

Optics for Landau Damping with Minimized Octupolar Resonances in the LHC

Operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) requires strong octupolar magnetic fields to suppress coherent beam instabilities. The amplitude detuning that is generated by these octupolar magnetic fields brings the tune of individual particles close to harmful resonances, which are mostly driven by the octupolar fields themselves.
