Tevatron Electron Lenses: Design and Operation

Vladimir Shiltsev, Kip Bishofberger, Vsevolod Kamerdzhiev +16

The beam-beam effects have been the dominating sources of beam loss and lifetime limitations in the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider [1]. Electron lenses were originally propose…

The Origination and Diagnostics of Uncaptured Beam in the Tevatron and Its Control by Electron Lenses

Xiao-Long Zhang, Kip Bishofberger, Vsevolod Kamerdzhiev +4

In the Collider Run II, the Tevatron operates with 36 high intensity bunches of 980 GeV protons and antiprotons. Particles not captured by the Tevatron RF system pose a threat to q…

Fast beam stacking using RF barriers

W. Chou, D. Capista, J. Griffin +2

Two barrier RF systems were fabricated, tested and installed in the Fermilab Main Injector. Each can provide 8 kV rectangular pulses (the RF barriers) at 90 kHz. When a stationary…

Experimental Studies of Compensation of Beam-Beam Effects with Tevatron Electron Lenses

V. Shiltsev, Yu. Alexahin, K. Bishofberger +7

Applying the space-charge forces of a low-energy electron beam can lead to a significant improvement of the beam-particle lifetime limit arising from the beam-beam interaction in a…
