Description

  • Keywords: Longitudinal stability, RF upgrade, impedance reduction, slow losses
  • Questions to be answered:
    • What has been achieved with the acceleration of short bunch trains at highest intensities?
    • Do we understand the losses at flat-bottom and the longitudinal instabilities? What is the effect of different optics?
    • Which improvement do we expect from impedance reduction?
    • How complete is the longitudinal impedance model?
    • How can 2018 observations with high-intensity beams be projected to the after-LIU era?
    • What is the impact of RF upgrade and impedance reduction on intensity reach?
    • What are limitations and requirements of double RF acceleration with 800 MHz?
    • Can we expect a better ion lifetime in the SPS due to the RF upgrade (power and LLRF)?
    • What can be learned from 2018 measurements with ions (including slip stacking tests)?
