Rolandi b a University of Geneva CH-1211 Geneva 4, SWITZERLAND b CERN, CH-1211 Geneva 23, SWITZERLAND Abstract We analyze the physics opportunities that would be made possible by upgrades of CERN’s proton accelerator complex. These include the new physics possible with luminosity or energy upgrades of the LHC, options for a possible future neutrino complex at CERN, and opportunities in other physics including rare kaon decays, other fixed-target experiments, nuclear physics and antiproton physics, among other possibilities. We stress the importance of inputs from initial LHC running and planned neutrino experiments, and summarize the principal detector R&D issues. 1 Introduction and summary In our previous report [1], we presented an initial survey of the physics opportunities that could be provided by possible developments and upgrades of the present CERN Proton Accelerator Complex [2,3]. These topics have subsequently been discussed by the CERN Council Strategy Group [4]. In this report, we amplify and update some physics points from our initial report and identify detector R&D priorities for the preferred experimental programme from 2010 onwards. We consider experimentation at the high-energy frontier to be the top priority in choosing a strategy for upgrading CERN's proton accelerator complex. This experimentation includes the upgrade to optimize the useful LHC luminosity integrated over the lifetime of the accelerator, through both a consolidation of the LHC injector chain and a possible luminosity upgrade project we term the SLHC.

  • 2.15 CTF3 Status, Progress and Plans
    165 2.15 CTF3 Status, Progress and Plans R. Corsini, P. Skowroński, F. Tecker, CERN, CH-1211 Geneva 23, Switzerland Mail to: [email protected] 2.15.1 Introduction The aim of the CLIC Test Facility CTF3 (see Fig. 1.1), built at CERN by the CLIC International Collaboration, is to prove the main feasibility issues of the two-beam acceleration technology [1]. CTF3 consists of a 150 MeV electron linac followed by a 42 m long Delay Loop and a 84 m Combiner Ring. The beam current from the linac is first doubled in the delay loop and then multiplied again by a factor of four in the combiner ring by interleaving bunches using transverse RF deflecting cavities. The high current beam can then be sent in the CLIC experimental area (CLEX) where it can be decelerated to extract 12 GHz RF power to be used for high gradient acceleration. In the same area a 200 MeV injector (CALIFES) generates a Probe Beam for two-beam experiments. Figure 1.1: CTF3 overall layout. CTF3 was built in order to demonstrate the following two main issues [2]: 1. Drive Beam Generation: efficient generation of a high-current electron beam with the time structure needed to generate 12 GHz RF power. CLIC relies on a novel scheme of fully loaded acceleration in normal conducting travelling wave structures, followed by beam current and bunch frequency multiplication by funneling techniques in a series of delay lines and rings, using injection by RF deflectors. CTF3 is meant to use such a technique to produce a 30 A Drive Beam with 12 GHz bunch repetition frequency.

  • Halo and Tail Generation Study in Compact Linear Collider
    1 AT/P5-07 Halo and Tail Generation Study in Compact Linear Collider I. Ahmed 1, H. Burkhardt 2, M. Fitterer 1 National Centre for Physics (NCP), Islamabad, Pakistan 2 European Organizations for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva, Switzerland 3 Universitat Karlsruhe, Germany Email contact of main author: [email protected] Abstract. Halo particles in linear colliders can result in significant losses and serious back- ground which may reduce the overall performance. We discuss halo sources and describe analytical estimates.We report about generic halo and tail simulations and estimates. Previous studies were mainly focused on very high energies as relevant for the beam delivery systems of linear colliders. We have now studied, applied and extended these simulations to lower energies as relevant for the CLIC drive beam. 1. Introduction Halo particles contribute very little to the luminosity but may instead be a major source of background and radiation [1]. Even if most of the halo will be stopped by collimators, the secondary muon background may still be significant [2, 3]. We study halo production with detailed simulations, to accompany the design studies for future linear colliders such that any performance limitations due to halo and tails can be minimised [4]. One of our aims was to assemble a comprehensive list of potential halo production processes. We find it useful to subdivide this list in three categories. Particle processes: • Beam Gas elastic scattering and multiple scattering • Beam Gas inelastic scattering, bremsstrahlung • Synchrotron radiation, incoherent and coherent • Scattering off thermal photons • Intrabeam and Touschek scattering • Ion or electron-cloud effects Optics related: • Mismatch • Coupling • Dispersion • Non-linearities Collective and equipment related: • Wake-fields • Beam Loading • Noise and vibration • Dark currents • Space charge effects close to source • Bunch compressors 2 AT/P5-07 This list was presented and discussed at several conferences including EPAC’06 [4] and PAC’07 [5] and in various EuroTeV meetings.

  • Future Perspectives at CERN 3 Unprecedented Accuracy
    Future Perspectives at CERN John Ellis1 Theoretical Physics Division, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland Abstract. Current and future experiments at CERN are reviewed,with emphasis on those relevant to astrophysics and cosmology. These include experiments related to nuclear astrophysics, matter-antimatter asymmetry, dark matter, axions, gravitational waves, cosmic rays, neutrino oscillations, inflation, neutron stars and the quark-gluon plasma. The centrepiece of CERN’s future programme is the LHC, but some ideas for perspectives after the LHC are also presented. CERN-TH/2002-119 astro-ph/0206054 Talk given at the CERN-ESA-ESO Symposium, M¨unchen, April 2002 1 Outline The scientific mission of CERN is to provide Europe with unique accelerators for the study of the fundamental particles of matter and the interactions between them. The scientific programme of CERN for the next decade is centred on the LHC accelerator, which is scheduled for completion in 2006, so that its experi- ments can start taking in 2007. A description of the LHC scientific programme is the centrepiece of this talk. The motivations for this and other new accelera- tors provided by ideas about possible physics beyond the Standard Model were discussed earlier at this meeting [1]. Between now and the startup of the LHC, CERN has a very limited pro- gramme of running experiments. However, scientific diversity at CERN is en- hanced by a number of recognized experiments, that do not use the CERN ac- celerators and are not supported by CERN, but whose scientists are allowed to use other CERN facilities. In parallel with the construction of the LHC, CERN arXiv:astro-ph/0206054v1 4 Jun 2002 is also preparing to send a long-baseline neutrino beam to the Gran Sasso under- ground laboratory in Italy, in a special programme largely supported by extra contributions from interested countries.

A long proton bunch extracted from the SPS interacts with a high power laser and a Electron gun 10 m long rubidium vapour plasma cell to create strong wakefields allowing sustained electron accel- Accelerators eration. The electron bunch to probe these wakefields is supplied by a 20 MeV electron accelerator. The Charged particle beams in accelerators electron accelerator consists of an RF-gun and a short booster structure. This electron source should Diagnostics provide beams with intensities between 0.1 and 1 nC, bunch lengths between 0.3 and 3 ps and an emittance of the order of 2 mm mrad. The wide range of parameters should cope with the uncertainties and future prospects of the planned experiments. The layout of the electron accelerator, its instru- mentation and beam dynamics simulations are presented. & 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
