Compensation of beam-beam effects in the Tevatron collider with electron beams

Abstract: The beam-beam interaction in the Tevatron collider sets limits on bunch intensity and luminosity. These limits are caused by a tune spread in each bunch which is mostly due to head-on collisions, but there is also a bunch-to-bunch tune spread due to parasitic collisions in multibunch operation. We propose to compensate these effects with use of a countertraveling electron beam, and present general considerations and physics limitations of this technique.

AbstractRecently, it was proposed to use negatively charged electron beams for compensation of beambeam effects due to protons in the Tevatron collider [1]. We show that a similar compensation is possible in space-charge dominated low energy proton beams.

“…Negatively charged electron beams can be used for compensation of space-charge effects in low energy proton beams the same way as in the ongoing Tevatron Electron Lens (TEL) project to compensate beam-beam effects due to protons in the Tevatron collider [1]. Protons going through the electron beam experience focusing force which has opposite sign to self space charge force and can precisely compensate the latter if:…”

“…However, an alternative approach is under study that relies on a low energy electron beam, current modulated at the bunch crossing frequency (7.5 MHz) in order to provide an additional focusing force that cancels the lowest order (tune va.riation) effect within the antiproton beam [8]. A system consisting of a 6.7 KV, 3 A electron beam has been constructed and tests are: now underway to demonstrate the ability to program cuxTent pulses at 7.…”
