Analysis of LHC transfer line trajectory drifts
The LHC is filled from the SPS via two 3 km long transfer lines: TI2 for beam 1 and TI8 for beam 2. In the first years of LHC operation large trajectory variationswere discovered. The sources of bunch-by-bunch and shot-by-shot trajectory variations had been identified and improved by the 2012 LHC ru...

description | The LHC is filled from the SPS via two 3 km long transfer lines: TI2 for beam 1 and TI8 for beam 2. In the first years of LHC operation large trajectory variationswere discovered. The sources of bunch-by-bunch and shot-by-shot trajectory variations had been identified and improved by the 2012 LHC run. The origins of the longer term drifts were however still unclear and significant time was spent correcting the trajectories. In the last part of the 2012 run the optics in the SPS was changed to lower transition energy. Trajectory stability and correction frequency will be compared between before and after the optics change in the SPS. The sources of the variations have now been identified and will be discussed in this paper. Remedies for operation after the long shutdown will be proposed. |
