• Differences between LCC106.1 and 106.2
○ Optimisation was done without beam-beam and positive offset
○ Now done with beam-beam and negative energy offset for
• MIK status and plans (S. Yue)
○ Important to determine the beam stay-clear definition in PB for MIK concept design
○ With zero phase advance the phase space is still deformed .
§ Need input from ABP for criteria of significance for the deformation
§ Ultimately could be tested in tracking ?
§ If Sen could provide a python script to include those elements, but presently use custom element not yet merged in xtrack
§ Or if Sen could provide a full deformed beam distribution
○ Why is the vertical phase space not seem to be conserved for the large ellipse
○ Also a concern for the beam halo
§ For now COLL takes an arbitrary number of 1% from 3 sigma up and considers various distributions
§ COLL still plans to generate realistic halo but present best model only considers quantum lifetime
○ Matching of the injected beam may require non-linear matching in the transfer line
• Mirrored custom optics to investigate the pi-phase advance concept
○ Present model is increasing the
○ Is it something the optics team has some interest and possibility to work on ?
○ In a real design the dispersion would certainly be smaller than 1.4m if the pi-optics is squeezed in the straight section
§ Lower dispersion should be OK with the MIK since we don't need large beam size
§ We should adapt the hacked version to make it work and compare with the zero-phase advance
• Polarised bunches
○ We need to first understand what happens
• Top-up injection results w/ LCC106.2.1 (M.A. Jebramcik)
○ Now includes markers in PB, can ask for changes
○ Now MA extended in the negative direction, where the beam is injected
§ This tracking uses 1.02%, while on-axis is 1.06% -> idea would be to keep the hybrid scheme
○ Injection conducted with beam-beam, quantum, BS, coupling and bumpers
○ With 150 MV it reaches higher performance, at 90MV it is really on the edge
○ Presently without errors, so more comfortable margin at 150MV
○ Giulia
§ confirms those preliminary results and the critical injection points
§ Will conduct those tracking with collimation soon
○ If Sen rematches the injection strength and identifies the injection point, and the delta
• Giulia will prepare one slide about the top-up injection status for Frank
