Introduction to Optics Design
Guido Sterbini
This lecture provides an overview of the principles and methodologies involved in linear optics design. It aims to introduce key concepts such as the matrix formalism, the symplect…
Chaos indicators for non-linear dynamics in circular particle accelerators
C. E. Montanari, R. B. Appleby, A. Bazzani +5
The understanding of non-linear effects in circular storage rings and colliders based on superconducting magnets is a key issue for the luminosity the beam lifetime optimisation. A…
Numerical evaluation of the integrals of motion in particle accelerator tracking codes
Philippe Belanger, Guido Sterbini
Particle tracking codes are one of the fundamental tools used in the design and the study of complex magnetic lattices in accelerator physics. For most practical applications, non-…
Measurement of the nonlinear diffusion of the proton beam halo at the CERN LHC
C. E. Montanari, R. B. Appleby, A. Bazzani +5
In circular particle accelerators, storage rings, or colliders, mitigating beam losses is critical to ensuring optimal performance, particularly for rings that include superconduct…
Resonance driving terms and tune spread with amplitude driven a beam-beam long range kick and a DC wire kick
Kyriacos Skoufaris, Guido Sterbini, Yannis Papaphilippou
This document presents in detail the derivation of the formulas that describe the resonance driving terms and the tune spread with amplitude generated by the beam-beam long range i…
Impact of the 50 Hz harmonics on the beam evolution of the Large Hadron Collider
Sofia Kostoglou, Gianluigi Arduini, Leandro Intelisano +2
Harmonics of the mains frequency (50 Hz) have been systematically observed in the transverse beam spectrum of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) since the start of its operation in th…
