- The effect of polarization wigglers placed downstream of each IP has been looked at by particle trackings.
- A more or less realistic field of the detector/compensation solenoids are included.
- Impact on the beam lifetime due to the large energy spread caused by the wigglers can be an issue.
- For pilot bunches, it can be recovered by turning off the crab sextupoles.
- However, the lifetime for colliding beams maymatter, as they have the similar energy spread by the beamstrahlung as the wigglers.
- The effect is larger in bx* = 10 cm optics than bx* = 15 cm.
- It can be worsened by machine errors.
- There are at least two candidates for the location of the polarimeter:
- Upstream in the RF straight section:
- The measurement is done though a weak bend to protect the RF.
- The separation of two beams must compatible with requirements from the RF.
- Upstream of an IP:
- No interference with the other beam.
- Relatively short available space and small bending angle.
- May need a short wavelength laser.
- Otherwise pushing components toward the IP by will be necessary.
