Experimental validation of a novel compact focusing scheme for future energy-frontier linear lepton colliders.
A novel scheme for the focusing of high-energy leptons in future linear colliders was proposed in 2001 [ P. Raimondi and A. Seryi , Phys. Rev. Lett. 86 , 3779 ( 2001 ) ]. This scheme has many advantageous properties over previously studied focusing schemes, including being significantly shorter for a given energy and having a significantly better energy bandwidth. Experimental results from the ATF2 accelerator at KEK are presented that validate the operating principle of such a scheme by demonstrating the demagnification of a 1.3 GeV electron beam down to below 65 nm in height using an energy-scaled version of the compact focusing optics designed for the ILC collider.
Collimation for CLIC
The collimation system of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) must fulfil a number of conflicting requirements, namely it should (1) remove beam halo to reduce the detector background, (2) provide a minimum distance between collimators and collision point for muon suppression, (3) ensure collimator survival and machine protection against errand beam pulses, (4) not be excessively long, and (5) not amplify incoming trajectory fluctuations via the collimator wake fields. Two optical systems have been designed — the first linear, the second non‐linear —, which promise to meet all these requirements for the design beam energy of 1.5 TeV. We decribe the various design criteria, a preliminary perf…
