In the following, beam sizes are alwaysgiven at the interaction point

The beams are flat this in order toachieve high luminosity (small σx×σy)and low beamstrahlung (large σx +σy)

The luminosity is given by

L =N 2frnb

4πσxσy

so what does limit it?

Can we ignore the crossing angle?

⇒ Need to minimise beam cross section, limits due to

Page 4: Beam-Beam Interaction

Crossing Angle

A crossing angle between the beams can be required

- to minimise effects of parasitic crossings of bunches

- to be able to cleanly get rid of the spent beam

In a normal conducting machine, the short bunch spacing leaves no choicebut to have a crossing angle

In a superconducting machine one can in principle avoid a crossing angle

Page 5: Beam-Beam Interaction

Crab Crossing

The crossing angle θc can lead to a luminosity reduction

This can be avoided using the “crab crossing” scheme

• a rotation is introduced into the bunch which makes it straight atcollision

From the beam-beam point of view crab crossing can be treated as nocrossing angle

need to transform secondaries into laboratory frame

Page 6: Beam-Beam Interaction

Beam Size Limitation 1: Hour Glass Effect

We can rewrite the beam size at the IP as

L ∝ N

σxσyPbeam =

N√βxǫx

βyǫyPbeam

The emittances ǫx,y are beam properties, smaller ǫ is more demanding forthe other systems

The beta-functions β are properties of the focusing system

Stronger focusing (lower β) can increase the luminosity

Too low β reduces luminosity due to hour glass effect

σx,y(z) =√

βx,yǫx,y + z2/βx,yǫx,y = σ∗x,y

1 + z2/β2x,y

⇒ Lower limit β ≥ σz

⇒ We will see that this limit is important for the vertical plane, not for thehorizontal

Page 7: Beam-Beam Interaction

Beam Size Limitation 2: Beam-Beam Interaction

The beam is ultra-relativistic

⇒ the fields are almost completely transverse

Due to the high density the electro-magnetic beam fields are high

⇒ focus the incoming beam (electric and magnetic force add)

⇒ reduction of beam crossection leads to more luminosity

⇒ bending of the trajectories leads to emission of beamstrahlung

The increase in luminosity will be expressed by a factor HD, the luminosityenhancement factor

Page 8: Beam-Beam Interaction

Disruption Parameter

We consider the motion of one particle in the field of the oncoming bunchand make the following assumptions

- the bunch transverse distribution is Gaussian, with widths σx and σy

- the particle is close to the beam axis

- the initial particle transverse momentum is zero

- the particle does not move transversely

We obtain for the final particle angle

dx

dz

∣final= − 2Nrex

γσx(σx + σy)

dy

dz

∣final= − 2Nrey

γσy(σx + σy)

⇒ Beam acts as a focusing lens

We introduce the disruption parameter Dx,y = σz/fx,y, where fx,y is thefocal length

Dx =2Nreσz

γσx(σx + σy)Dy =

2Nreσz

γσy(σx + σy)

Page 9: Beam-Beam Interaction

Relevance of the Disruption Parameter

A small disruption parameter D ≪ 1 indicates that the beam acts as athin lens on the other beam

A large disruption parameter D ≫ 1 indicates that the particle oscillatesin the field of the oncoming beam

⇒ the notion of the parameter as the ratio of focal length to bunch lengthis no longer valid, the parameter is still useful

⇒ Since the particles in both beams will start to oscillate, the analytic esti-mation of the effects becomes tedious

⇒ resort to simulations

In linear colliders one usually finds Dx ≪ 1 and Dy ≫ 1

ILC: Dx ≈ 0.15, Dy ≈ 18, CLIC: Dx ≈ 0.2, Dy ≈ 7.6

Page 10: Beam-Beam Interaction

Simulation Procedure

Two widely spread codes to simulate the beam-beam interaction are CAIN(K. Yokoya et al.) and GUINEA-PIG (D. Schulte et al.)

• The beam is represented by macro particles

• It is cut longitudinally into slices

• Each slice interacts with one slice of the other beam at a given time

• The slices are cut into cells

• The simulation is performed in a number of time steps in each of them

- The macro-particle charges are distributed over the cells

- The forces at the cell locations are calculated

- The forces are applied to the macro particles

- The particles are advanced

Page 11: Beam-Beam Interaction

Beamstrahlung

Particles travel on curved trajectories

⇒ emitt radiation similar to synchrotron radiation

⇒ called beamstrahlung in this context

Beamstrahlung reduces the beam particle energy

⇒ particles collide at energies different from the nominal one

⇒ physics cross section are affected

⇒ threshold scans are affected

Beamstrahlung is not the only relevant process

Page 12: Beam-Beam Interaction

Synchrotron Radiation vs. Beamstrahlung

Quantum mechanics: particle can scatter in field of individual particlesand in collective field of oncoming bunch

Condition for application of synchrotron radiation formulae is that thecollective field of the oncoming beam particles is important

- integrate over field of many particles during coherence length

- travel many coherence lengths during bunch passage

Beamstrahlung opening cone is roughly given by 1/γ

⇒ coherence length is the distance traveled while particle is deflected by1/γ

⇒ Number of coherence lengths

η = γθx = Dxσx

σzγ =

2Nre

σx + σy

⇒ Usually of the order of several tens or hundreds ⇒ OK

Colliding particles can emit photons during the collision

⇒ the collision energies are modified

⇒ If the disruption parameter is very large, we are more sensitive to beamoffsets

Choice of Disruption Parameter

Evidently a large disruption parameter makes the beam more sensitive tooffsets

⇒ one should limit the disruption

But, the vertical disruption parameter is a function of the luminosity

⇒ offsets of parts of thebeam lead to instabil-ity

Mitigation of the Effect

Example with TESLAparameters is shown

The effect can be curedby using luminosity opti-misation in a pulse

While the effect canbe cured by performingluminosity optimisation,this leads to a more com-plex tuning scheme

Incoherent Pair Production

Three different processesare important

- Breit-Wheeler

- Bethe-Heitler

- Landau-Lifshitz

The real photons arebeamstrahlung photons

The processes with vir-tual photons can be cal-culated using the equiv-alent photon approxi-mation and the Breit-Wheeler cross section

Vertex Detector

The vertex detector is the detectorcomponent closest to the interactionpoint

It should measure the production ver-tex

- e.g. if in an event a b-quark is pro-duced it will decay after a short timeinto lighter quarks

- the tracks of these lighter parti-cles will orign from the point wherethe b-quark decayed, not from thebeam position

The closer the vertex detector to theIP the better the resolution

Page 36: Beam-Beam Interaction

Impact of the Pairs on the Vertex Detector

Hits of the pairs in thevertex detector can con-fuse the reconstructionof tracks

Can avoid this problemby combination of twomeans

- use sufficient openingangle of the vertexdetector

- confine pairs to smallradii by use of longi-tudinal magnetic fieldthis exists in the de-tector anyway

Luminosity Monitoring

Fast luminosity measurement is crucial for machine tuning

The detector will use Bhabha scattering

⇒ very good signal for accurate measurement

⇒ this signal is too slow for our luminosity optimisation

Need to use other signals, e.g.

- beamstrahlung/beam energy loss

- incoherent pairs

- bremsstrahlung

Two approaches

- try to reconstruct beam parameters from observables

- optimise one tuning knob after the other

Page 43: Beam-Beam Interaction

Use of Bremsstrahlung

Bremsstrahlung is emit-ted into small angles

⇒ quite proportional toluminosity

⇒ the emitting particleis not scattered much

⇒ it cannot be seper-ated from the beamby its angle

⇒ one needs to seperateit by it’s energy

Conclusion

• High luminosity with limited beamstrahlung requires flat beams

• Beamstrahlung can significantly affect the experiments

• Beam-beam effects can generate background

- most important for the vertex detector

• Beam-beam background can be used for luminosity monitoring
