Effect of the beam-beam interactions on the dynamic aperture of the LHC at collision

The dynamic aperture of the LHC at collision energy is limited by the field errors in the IR quadrupoles being built at FNAL and KEK. The 300 mu rad crossing angle, incorporated in the design to reduce the effect of the long-range beam beam interactions, enhances the effect of the multipoles on the...

Sumario:The dynamic aperture of the LHC at collision energy is limited by the field errors in the IR quadrupoles being built at FNAL and KEK. The 300 mu rad crossing angle, incorporated in the design to reduce the effect of the long-range beam beam interactions, enhances the effect of the multipoles on the dynamic aperture. We have investigated the possibility of a different crossing angle with a more accurate modelling of the long-range interactions. Tune scans have been done to determine if a better choice of the tunes exists. (7 refs).
