- Organisation and Chairing of Top-Up Meeting
- The Optics Design Group aims to gather all inputs this year, including top-up injection.
- Discussion scheduled for next week.
- Close interaction with top-up injection will be addressed.
- Goal: consolidate all necessary information by the end of the year for decision-making.
- Discussion on Using the Same Optics at Every Technical Straight
- Oide-san supports maintaining the same optics at all four technical straights.
- Ghislain prefers specialised insertions to decouple each technical insertion.
- Some level of periodicity must be maintained, raising the question of chromaticity symmetry breaking and its effects.
- Interest exists in having different optics at each straight; it is necessary for ttbar, but feasibility remains under discussion.
- Careful consideration will be needed for both LCC and GHC.
- Talks on Top-Up Injection
- A work plan is needed to compare LCC and GHC lattices.
- Yann will propose a top-up talk at FCC Week and an IPAC contribution, including all WG participants in the IPAC author list.
- Vertical Emittance Blow-Up
- From Takashi:
- Simulations using lattice 624 (to be added to Ghislain’s repo under 25.1_GHC).
- Z-scan shows an optimum at -10 mm, improving survival rate.
- Lower horizontal emittance growth with version 624 and z-offset.
- Hybrid injection scheme results in lower longitudinal and vertical emittance growth.
- Kyriacos observes that vertical emittance increase disappears for energy offsets <70% of the initial value.
- Chromatic mismatch is questioned as a possible source of emittance increase.
- Kyriacos did not observe improvement with matched chromatic optical functions.
- From Sen:
- Tracking results without beam-beam interactions.
- Tracking with mean mode and zero horizontal emittance.
- Follow-up discussion needed to align injected beam optics and optical parameters.
- Injection Point Change (Sen)
- A new injection point was presented upstream of the quadrupole.
- The new location has large d' and alpha, but its effect on effective septum thickness is negligible.
- Agreement reached: the unique injection point will be placed 1m upstream of the quadrupole.
- Injection Repository
- CI is conducting tracking and producing plots for injection efficiency and emittance.
- Repository includes the new injection point change.
- With agreement from all participants, the changes have been merged into the master branch.
