– IR2 LER/HER vacuum spikes and instability

• Several talks are dedicated to these issues.

PEP-II Upgrades

• PEP-II luminosity has increased steadily over the past years due to carefully planned hardware upgrades and operational improvements. We are embarking on the next phase.

• The next factor of two in PEP-II luminosity (1 to 2 x1034/cm2/s) will come from:– Increasing each beam current by 40%.

– Lowering y* from 11 to 8.5 mm giving 30%.

– Increasing the beam-beam parameters by 10%.

– Keeping detector backgrounds at the predicted levels.

– Maintaining (and improving) accelerator reliability.

PEP-II Limitations and How to Fix Them

• Categories of limitations and upgrades:– Hardware upgrades (AIP and OPS)

– Operational issues

– RF and longitudinal feedback

– Transverse feedback

– Lattice and optics

– Beam-beam interaction

– Reliability

– Beam position monitors (BPMs)

– Instrumentation

– Machine-detector interface and backgrounds

Task Force Approach• Task forces have been addressing PEP-II issues for several

years to deal with accelerator issues with the goal to provide more luminosity and higher integrated luminosity.

• We have started several new task forces this run to deal near-term and longer-term issues.

• All the task forces leaders meet on Wednesdays to provide a common focus and clear overall leadership.

• Each task force has identified key issues to address and has proposed machine studies, hardware improvements, and personnel changes.

• Machine studies are performed about twice each week. (Tuesday and Thursday day shifts)

• Accelerator improvement projects “AIP” are identified and started.

• Smaller hardware projects are addressed when identified and are funded by operations “OPS”.

Problem with LER Beam Position Monitor Units

A situation with transverse offset bunches, high bunch currents and short length positron bunches caused a vacuum failure in a BPM in June 2005. The problem is systemic. We have carefully analyzed the situation.

We have a numerical model (Ecklund) of BPM heating including bunch charges, bunch lengths (RF voltage),and transverse position offsets.We can now reasonably predict whena problem will occur.

Upgrade plan for Fall 2006:Repair LER Arc BPMs (~200), IR2 BPMs need to bemodified (~50), but the straight sectionBPMs are ok (~80). Add thermo-couples to many BPMs. Then we can go to short bunches and 4 A.

PEP-II Conclusions

• PEP-II turn-on in Run 5 is going well (in spite of the power outage and summer heat). In October achieved a new luminosity record (1x1034)

• PEP-II has delivered ~333 fb-1 since May 1999.

• Recent instabilities are being addressed.

• Trickle injection in both rings all of the time. Run time is up.

• Planned upgrades towards >21034 are on track.

• Accelerator issues with PEP-II are being studied.

• Task Forces are under way to address these accelerator issues

• A run plan is in place with a target of 1 ab-1 in 2008.
