  • Present status of the WG simulations
  • Collider design pillar request for information
    • Q1 : What is the injection efficiency modelled in the presence of beam-beam and collimation ?
      • No resources identified are listing efficiencies of 0%
      • This remain an ongoing topic of discussion with continuous progress on both performance and inclusion of more physics processes
      • Besides including all physics processes, the injection process must be tested under perturbed conditions (corrected lattice) to test and quantify the robustness of the injection process.
      • Latest simulations conducted and presented by G. Nigrelli  https://indico.cern.ch/event/1588696/contributions/6856980/
    • Q2 : Is the injected beam position and Twiss parameters including both linear and non-linear dependency with momentum offset ?
      • Discussed during the WG meetings of 10/2026 and 12/2026 as well as by G. Nigrelli at the tune-up meeting in October
      • But need to understand and fix specific parameters -> Important to find the parameters and communicate them
      • Important to find the optimum injected beam parameters -> We need to establish a methodology to find new parameters with a new lattice
  • Giulia will discuss with Sen on how to incorporate or associate her simulation to a repository, for instance the https://gitlab.cern.ch/abt-optics-and-code-repository/projects/collider-injection-fcc-e
  • Marc-Andre on LCC
    • Previous lattices not optimised for injection or non linear dynamics
    • It would be important to conduct optimisation from a corrected lattice with errors (request to tune-up WG ?)
    • Conducting MOGA at large dE
      • voltage presently using 150 MV which is slightly away from the baseline set to 90 MV (convergence needs to be done on ABP-RF side)
      • Optimisation conducted to dispersion-free straight section
      • Optimised lattice is able to maintain the DA w/ beam-beam and epsY
      • At the location of the septum the optimisation includes up to DDX2 which may be the source of limited DA -> agreement that included higher order is important
    • Present point selected for higher MA but could be optimised for slightly larger DA for hybrid injection
    • How do we proceed from here ?
      • 90MV or stay at 150 MV for now ?
      • Should we switch to negative dE ? -> This is needed because we need lower RF voltage from the booster
      • Kyriacos asks if optimise directly on lifetime instead MA
        • MA should be a good proxy to lifetime but one scan should be conducted to confirm this
    • Marc-Andre will publish and make available a new lattice version, note this is not a new lattice but optimised element strength on LCC106
  • Sen on MIK progress
    • No time during the discussion, only conclusion with promising zero-phase-advance concept
    • The beam stay clear definition remains in question, Giulia will circulate the definition with beta and dispersion contributions
    • The pi-phase advance concept requires contributions from Marc-Andre to establish the feasibility in PB
    • Detailed discussion deferred to the next meeting
There are minutes attached to this event. Show them.

      Feedback and requests from Collider design pillar
      Speaker: Yann Dutheil (CERN)
      • Present status of the WG simulations
        • Concerted results documented in the comparison report -> injection efficiency only with SR
        • Concerns arose on the status of injection efficiency in the presence of more complex modelling
          • Ref where tracking w/ coll and beam-beam was presented ?
      • Collider design pillar request for information
        • Q1 : What is the injection efficiency modelled in the presence of beam-beam and collimation ?
        • Q2 : Is the injected beam position and Twiss parameters including both linear and non-linear dependency with momentum offset ?
      • Proposition for next steps, resources and priorities
        • Tracking studies in the presence of collimation and beam-beam (w/ version control ?), associated requirements on impact and understanding the limitations or challenges
        • Continued MIK concept and development of  possible lattice implementation
        • Parallel comparison of tracking results with Xsuite and SAD
