Abstract New technology has permitted significant performance improvements of established -.. *- instrumentation techniques including beam position and profile monitoring. ,. Fundamentally new profile monitor strategies are required for the next generation of -accelerators, especially linear colliders (LC). Beams in these machines may be three orders of magnitude smaller than, typical beams in present colliders. In this paper we review both the present performance levels achieved by conventional systems and present _~ some new ideas for future colliders. --_~ II. Introduction . _ The field of accelerator instrumentation is large and growing. Instrumentation has been the focus of several recent workshops. One reason for this is the broad range of requirements that new machines place on these systems. This paper addresses mainly those accelerator instrumentation issues associated with electron-positron linear colliders. The function of accelerator instrumentation is to provide a measure of subsystem performance. Through this the accelerator designer may verify component tolerances. _ Furthermore, the dontrol system of the accelerator can use information provided by the diagnosti& to perform online corrections through feedback. The next collider generation . will require a substantial effort in the development of the feedback systems. - In parallel with recent improvements in the technology of signal processing and controls, the next generation of machines will rely heavily on instrumentation and controls improvements. It is therefore important to identify this aspect of accelerators as one which can yield significant benefit by relaxing effective tolerances in other subsystems.1 Of course, this must be done carefully and may be difficult to prototype and _ test accurately. The challenge of the instrument designer is to develop new technology and also to improve existing techniques. Through the use of new technology, conventional devices _ such asbeam-position monitors and video-profile monitors have become more accurate and fr&from systematic errors that are harmful to feedback systems. Since a feedback loop processes and filters information from many sources, it requires an accurate model of both the accelerator system and its instrumentation. *Work supported by Department of Energy contract DE-AC0>76SFOOSlS.

  • The next generation of colliders will require accurate beam-position measuring devices, high-resolution beam-profile monitors, and devices that directly monitor other aspects of the beam such as correlations between energy and longitudinal or transverse position. Present profile monitors project phase space onto one axis, and are therefore not sensitive to correlations. Since smearing effects, such as chromatic filamentation, can irreversibly increase phase-space volume, it is important to accurately monitor the ellipse orientation.2

    Most work to date has focused on the serious challenge of measuring small-collider, interaction-region spots. However, accurate, durable phase-space monitors will be required throughout the LC in order to maintain the emittance.

    MI. ‘f3eam Position Monitors (BPM)

    Present BPM systems can be grouped according to their bandwidth. Colliders, . . . because of their low single-bunch passage rate, probably require high-bandwidth devices.

    Thermal noise considerations and low bunch spacing presently limit the performance of typical devices to:

    $+imJ+$ (1) 0 0

    Where ,/m is the thermal noise, about 25 pV at 25 MHz, a is the signal ._.- strength at the electrodes, about 2V ns for lO*O particles, E is the efficiency of the signal collectioacables and 2to/az is the fraction of the signal from strip lines of length to in the bandwidth (u) of the signal processing filter. V,/V, is about l/5000 for 50 ns interbunch spacing. This is usually adequate since the vacuum chamber can be made to scale with the beam size at least in a coarse manner.

    An example of a suitable BPM system is that being built for the Final Focus Test Beam Facility (FFTB)3 at SLAC. This system has 1 pm resolution near the center of the aperture with intensities of 1010 e-, bandwidth of 25 MHz and 16-bit ADC’s with noise margin of 3 dB. The absolute accuracy of the BPM is 30 pm. The FFTB BPM’s are about 25 mm diameter. = Most -BPM systems have significant systematic errors. These can be crudely classified

    as beam-quality related errors or electrode- and signal-processing errors. Among the former are:

    l Beam-shape sensitivity

    Beam-sha 3/r*(at-0; P

    e sensitivity has been studied4 and can produce an error of about for a centered beam, with x and y in the planes formed by the pickup

    - electrodes. Placement of the electrodes at 45” to the beam-coordinate system, or other electrode designs can reduce this error.

    . -. l Il@rference from beam electromagnetic fields *. -;

    An interesting example of this is the experiences in the TRISTAN Main Ring where the wakefields left by the passage of the bunch were sufficient to cause multipactor breakdown near the button electrode.

    2

  • l Sensitivity to local beam loss

    This is certainly the least-understood of the above and will be a significant problem in future high-power machines. The electromagnetic shower generated when a few beam particles strike the vacuum chamber near or just upstream of the monitor can cause a strong secondary-emission signal. This signal, since it is lower-bandwidth than the coupled signal from the beam, can create a large offset error. Guidelines for avoiding this are to 1) recess the strip lines so that they cannot be struck directly by the beam, and 2) provide the appropriate amount of collimator protection upstream.

    Other sources of BPM systematic error can be adequately addressed with careful calibration and appropriate data-handling codes. Some of these errors are listed here:

    ; *- l Electronic offsets and cable imbalance

    . . Non-linear response In the last ten years, processor speed and digital-signal processing (DSP) techniques

    have improved enough so that they may now be included in storage-ring feedback loops. In addition to noise-free signal processing, these techniques allow much greater control -over the loop-gain and transfer function. Examples of feedback systems using digital signal processing are the tune-control system at LEP, 6 and the proposed longitudinal- feedback system for the SLAC B-factory.7 An excellent DSP instrument that has been used for development of the SLC damping rings is the Tektronix 3052.8

    h&&fLC-designs require trains of closely spaced electron and positron bunches. A remaining tihallenge for LC BPM designs is a system that can, with the accuracy listed above, independently monitor the micro-bunches position. Using the 1.4 ns interbunch spacing of the NLC design, the expected kT noise is six times larger, about l/1000. Advances in signal processing may help to reduce this. Techniques under development for use with the Fermilab bunched-beam cooling system9 that use fiber optic signal-delay lines will allow the stripling signal to be repeatedly sampled.10 11 The use of the fiber optic signal-storage loop effectively lowers the bandwidth considerably.

    Narrow-band.BPM systems, used in storage rings, can perform much better. Furthermore, frequency-domain techniques allow greater control of electronic offsets. An SSC proposal12 with 15 KHz bandwidth should have a limiting resolution of 100 nm.

    E. Beam-Profile Monitors

    - The next generation of linear colliders present a serious challenge to the profile- monitor designer. Monitor performance can be characterized by beam-size resolution, (the minimum spot size measurable), and dynamic range, (the accuracy with which the distribution is determined). The first of these has been studied and some proposals for future devices will be outlined here. The second has received less attention but is important in order to gain an understanding of the sources background in high-energy physi@ttsers,detectors. Several attempts have been made to find an effective measure of the particle distribution in the beam’s tails, especially in e+/e- storage rings.13

    Most beam-size monitors use scattered radiation produced in the interaction between the beam and a target of some kind. As either the beam size is reduced or the intensity

    3

  • increased, the target may be destroyed in this interaction and must be regenerated before the next measurement. At small beam sizes and high beam current no solid will survive the impact of a single pulse. Gas- or plasma-based ionization monitors are also limited at very high intensities or very small spot sizes, where tunneling ionization, or the ionization of all atoms in the high-field region of the bunch, becomes an important effect. As a result, one must use a target that can be quickly regenerated or another mechanism altogether,- such as a laser beam.

    A. Review of existing techniques-Wire Scanners and Fluorescent Screens

    1. Wires Present wire scanners are limited to a range of currents and beam sizes because of

    single-pulse heating due to energy loss in the wire. These limits are roughly given by:

    _ for small wires with diameter about the same as the beam size. At SLC, these limits are reached at the IP, and they will be exceeded throughout most of an LC.

    The best wire-scanner resolution has been seen with the SLC IP wire scanner. Figure is an SLC interaction-region wire scan with a 4 pm wire.14

    Si& a &tinner samples the beam with a relatively hard process, giving good linearity, systematic errors are generally small. Figure 2 shows a high-resolution wire scan from the SLC. Most high-resolution wire scanner systems use hard, forward,

    bremstrahlung detectors. These detectors are often very far from the scanner and therefore have limited acceptance and have related systematic errors.

    2. Fluorescent screens Fluorescent screens remain a simple, reliable method for measuring beam size.

    Significant improvements in video technology now allow 16-bit amplitude vertical _ resolution and spatial resolution beyond other (e.g., optical) practical limits. Accuracy

    and dynamic range limits are mostly unknown. Excellent radiation hardness has been proven with these devices.

    5. Wire failure

    . . _

    One significant drawback of a wire scanner is the fragility of the wire. Even well below the threshold for single-pulse breakage listed above, there are other wire-breakage mechanisms. Much work has been done on this problem at the SLC Linac where wire failure has been a problem.

    The SLC Linac wire scanner@ use 40 pm tungsten wire to measure high-intensity (two or three bunches of 3.5 x lOlo) 100 pm beams. The single-pulse heating is well below the wire-melting point. The wire is wrapped around cylindrical studs that are set in a ceT2mic holder, All fractures occur at the point where the wire approaches the stud. Micrographs of the broken wire suggest that high-electric field and a resultant arc to the stud are responsible for these failures. Since the wire and the stud are both in good electrical contact and well-grounded, a strong transient pulse from the beam must cause the arc. About 1 mJ is required. Figure 3 is a micrograph of the broken end of a wire. Similar wire failures have been seen at LEP. In both cases the failure rate has been improved by using only ceramic materials in the support.

    6. New wires for FFTB . -. Mostdesigns for an LC use large-aspect ratio beams with cx - 100.sY, a new regime

    for ac%rate-profile monitors. At several locations in FFTB, during optics tuning, a;, may be 1000 my. An accurate measurement of cx,, will require novel scanner construction techniques. One proposed technique is to use a radial fan of wires at small angles to one another in order to optimize the angular resolution. Short-stub scanners will probe the

    7

    _ beam distribution at several places in x. This data will provide information about the higher-order distortions in the beam matrix.

    B, New Techniques

    1. Final Focus Test Beam at SLAC Several novel profile monitors will be tested at SLAC, at the Final Focus Test Beam

    facility (FFTB). The purpose of the FFTB is to test the optics and tuning tools required for the next generation of linear colliders. This will be done using 1010 50 GeV electrons from the SLC linac. Interaction Point (IP) beam sizes are expected to be ax = 0.9 pm and uy=60nm.

    -.. *- 2. Ionization Beam Size Monitor

    The Orsay/SLAC Ionization Beam-Size Monitor ,19 shown schematically in Figure 4, . . measures the peak electric field of the beam using the scattered-ion angular distribution

    and velocity. This device allows the introduction of a controlled amount of gas into a - volume surrounding the IP. The periphery of the chamber is equipped with ion detectors,

    in this case microchannel plates. Low Z He ions will receive a strong impulse from the field of the beam.

    Beam Pipe -9-92 $40 mm 7106A4

    Figure 4. Gas ionization beam size monitor.

    At the FFTB the beam will enter an Argon filled volume with a pressure of a few 10- 4 mm Hg and ionize through dE/dx. The principle of the device is to measure the maximum velocity of the Argon ions using time of flight. The endpoint of the TOF

    _ spectrum is used to derive an estimate of the beam size in the minimum direction (cry). To find the beam size in the other plane, He ions are used. Since the He ions are much lighter, they are trapped in the beam, and oscillate with an amplitude that is related to

    . their position with respect to the bunch center at the time they were ionized. The angular distrib%ion of the He ions is related to the aspect ratio of the bunch. This technique does not work very well for positrons, since they are not trapped in the beam. The expected resolution of the device is about 5% for a few (10) pulses at nominal FFTB currents of

    V Bunch-Length Monitors

    I-. Energy-Spread Monitors An example of a non-gaussian beam shape which must be determined in detail is the

    energy profile of a single collider bunch emerging from the linac. Because of the strong dependence of the energy-spread distribution, especially the extremes of the distribution, on the bunch shape, it is important to measure the shape carefully. Figure 6 shows SLC linac energy-spread wire-scanner data.

    = Figure-6. SLC linac energy-spread distributions. These data were produced from wire scans taken as the overall phase of the linac was varied. The data agree with simulations that assume a gaussian, longitudinal bunch distribution, and use a computed higher-order waveguide mode distribution.25 It is important to measure the energy spread properly in order to predict the performance of downstream optical systems.

    2. Coherent Synchrotron Radiation Coherent synchrotron from a linac beam was first reported in 1989.26 Coherent

    synchrotron radiation is the radiation emitted from the bunch as a whole and depends on N2. In storage rings it is suppressed because the wavelength of the radiation is large

    - compared to the size of the vacuum chamber. The spectrum of coherent radiation can be used dSan estimate of the bunch length and for this reason it may be considered a useful beam diagnostic tool. For the nominal operating intensity of 5*1010, the expected radiated energy is 0.04 pJ or 5 pW at 120 Hz. Experiments done at the Cornell l inac27 with a pneumatic, Golay-cell, thermal-infrared radiation detector.
