o Overall average emittance blow-up through the LHC cycle:− ~ 0.5 – 0.8 mm from injection to start of collision (convoluted e)
• Similar for ATLAS luminosity
Motivation: Emittance Blow-up 2012
2
After TS3: Q20 optics in SPS and spare wire scanner system in LHC
Convoluted e:• Collision values
from CMS bunch luminosity (nominal b*)
• Injection values from LHC wire scanners (average of first 144 bunch batch), b from beta beat meas.

Introductiono 2012 available transverse profile monitors through the cycle:
− ONLY WIRE SCANNERS!• Could only measure low intensity test fills• Problem with photomultiplier saturation during the ramp
o Conclusions from wire scanner measurements:− Emittances are mainly growing during injection plateau and ramp− Sometimes shrinking emittances during the ramp− Sometimes large blow-up at the end of squeeze
o Sources of emittance blow-up:− Injection: IBS and 50 Hz noise− Ramp: no clue so far− Squeeze: probably single bunch instabilities

What’s New: LHC Beta Fct. Measurements
o The beta functions were measured through the ramp in 2012− With turn-by-turn phase advance method at discrete energies
• at 0.45, 1.33, 2.3, 3.0, 3.8, 4.0 TeV for beam 1 • at 0.45, 1.29, 2.01, 2.62, 3.66, 4.0 TeV for beam 2
− Large uncertainties because of not optimal phase advance between the BPMs and problems with the algorithm
o Measured beta functions through the ramp could therefore not be used for emittance determination in 2012− Used linear interpolation between measured injection and flattop
values from k-modulation
o Now: improvements of the algorithm− re-calculated beta values through the ramp from AC dipole meas.

Where do the shrinking emittances come from?
8
LHC
28/01/2014
o Growing- shrinking emittances due to non-monotonic changes of optics at wire scanners (same for B1H)− Not enough beta-measurements to remove all “non-physical”
points

Résumé – Non-Physical Emittance Evolution
o Most probable reason behind non-physical evolution of emittances during the ramp in 2012− Insufficient knowledge of beta function evolution at wire scanners
during ramp− Still not enough beta measurement points to remove all “outliers”
in emittance evolution for B1H and B1V
o Next: emittance measurement with new beta functions vs. IBS simulations (MADX) during the ramp− Using nominal optics− Measured bunch length through the ramp− Initial emittance at start of ramp from wire scans

IBS Simulations (3)o If it is ONLY IBS…why is it same growth for different initial eo Fill 3217, all bunches (2 x 6):
14
Bunch lengths and bunch intensities similar for both batches, but different initial emittances
Almost same growth in IBS simulation
LHC
28/01/2014
IBS Simulations (4)o Fill 3217, all bunches, relative emittance growth
15
Smaller initial emittance (B2H batch 1) gives slightly larger growth ~ 5 % instead of ~ 4 %
BUT NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE!
LHC
28/01/2014
Résumé - IBS and LHC Rampo Emittance growth in the horizontal plane during ramp probably
only from IBS − For test fills ~ 3 - 5 % depending on initial beam parameters
o First guess for physics fills during ramp:− Small would predict ~ 5 % ( mm) growth through the ramp
• Again dependent on initial beam parameters• Prediction for physics fills before TS3: ~ 3 % (mm)
o The what is the simulated IBS emittance growth through the LHC cycle compared to measurements?− For test Fill 3217− For physics fills

Example IBS during the Cycle – B2H
o Monotonic optics changes for B2H during the LHC cycle− Therefore smooth emittance growth
o Full IBS simulation during the entire cycle compared to wire scanner measurements

IBS simulations and measurements for B2H very compatible!

IBS during the LHC Cycleo Estimates of mean horizontal emittance growth:
o IBS Simulations agree well with wire scanner measurements!− Growth at flattop larger than expected!− But also some growth in the vertical plane (coupling for this fill)
o Total average growth of convoluted e through the LHC cycle− For Fill 3217: 0.29 mm − For physics fills: ~ 0.5 mm – 0.8 mm

ATLAS/CMS vs. Wire Scannero Low intensity test fill in 2012 (Fill 3217):
− Injection values measured with wire scanners• Beta function from AC dipole measurement
− Collision values measured with wire scanners and obtained from ATLAS and CMS luminosity
− Average value of 6 colliding bunches (batch 2)
o Wire scan results much smaller than ATLAS/CMS results!− Similar for other test fills measured in 2012

Summary & Conclusiono Measurements through the LHC cycle in 2012 only possible with
wire scanners− Main blow-up occurs during injection and ramp− Sources of emittance growth at injection: IBS and 50 Hz noise
o NOW: new beta function analysis for values through the ramp− Total growth through ramp reduced with new optics in ramp− Growing- shrinking emittances due to non-monotonic changes of
optics at wire scannerso Comparison of wire scans and IBS Simulations:
− Emittance growth in the horizontal plane during ramp probably only from IBS
− But large blow-up during squeeze that cannot be explained with IBS
o PUZZLE: discrepancy between wire scanner and ALTAS/CMS/LHCb emittances at start of collisions− ATLAS/CMS suggest larger total blow-up− LHCb measurements not fully compatible with wire scans 2

Outlook – Beams Post LS1o Emittance growth for high brightness beams post LS1
− With the following beam parameters for IBS simulations:• 1.3 mm injected emittance• Bunch intensity of 1.2 x 1011 ppb• 1.25 ns bunch length
− 20 min ramp to 6.5 TeV• assuming injection and flattop plateau length are same as in 2012
o Estimated emittance blow-up in the horizontal plane from injection to start of collision: ~ 20 % ( 0.3 mm) only from IBS− Similar as in 2012

Fill 3160 SMOG Data Analysiso Some observations:
− We had 2 hours of SMOG operation.− The true beam width at LHCb varies between 35 and 70 mu,
leading to a systematic uncertainty of 0.7 - 0.8 mu.− The bunches had different intensities leading to a beam-gas rate of
10 to 45 Hz. We can reach about 0.7 micron statistical uncertainty in 5 minutes, but this vary with the bunch intensity.
− The resolution deconvolution is made assuming a simple Gaussian beam which is reasonable for this fill. A double Gaussian analysis might help on some bunches, but most fit chi^2 are close to 1.
− The beam width given is 1 sigma of a Gaussian distribution.− The statistical and systematic uncertainties are provided. It is
therefore possible to average multiple time bins to reduce the statistical error, however, the systematic error should only be averaged and can not be reduced by averaging.
