29 Emittance Growth and Halo: Lesson learnt 400MeV/15mA user operation and 400MeV/25mA beam test were established with acceptable beam loss/ residue radiation doses But, emittance growth and beam halo were observed after ACS Halo recognition From measured profiles we get rms as well as sigma from fit with Gaussian; Sigma beam core; rms includes halo Reason for halo after ACS Imperfect matching at MEBT2-ACS due to absence of BSM Other reasons? Inconsistencies between modeling and reality, No longitudinal measurement Emittance growth at MEBT1 Imperfect matching at MEBT1 Unknown longitudinal mismatch in DTL-SDTL After the readiness of linac setting for 25mA on Jan.24, an improved second lattice accomplished on Jan. 26, and studied until Jan. 29. The setting is based on applying Results from transverse measurement and matching at SDTL Ideal longitudinal match between DTL and SDTL

30 Emittance Growth and Halo Studies: Halo found at downstream of ACS r rms r sig. SDTL,50MeV,25mA ACS;191MeV 25mA r rms > r sig. 400MeV,25mA Comparison 181MeV,25mA Similar phenomena also found in previous high power test at 181MeV, now stronger Note the changing of correlation of profiles in rms and sigma! Significant increase of halo after ACS

31 Emittance Growth and Halo Studies: the Worst Case Profile in y direction at L3BT-ARC section: 5σ~1.2mm; 5rms~1.7mm, parameter 1, Jan.24

32 Emittance Growth and Halo Studies: Improvement Profile in y direction at L3BT-ARC section: 5σ~1.2mm; 5rms~1.5mm, parameter 2, Jan.26

33 Emittance Growth and Halo Studies: An Improved Setting for 25mA x-plane Increase from design Improvement 10~20% collimation y-plane Emittance is reduced by 10~20% in y direction at L3BT No improvement in x direction; Halo significantly mitigated but still exist Significant change of the correlation between rms and sigma rms emittance increases in consistency with beam halo formation Beam core (sigma emittance) becomes slim

34 Emittance Growth and Halo Studies: lessons learnt Halo found in downstream of ACS Imperfect matching at MEBT2-ACS due to absent of BSM, improvement expected after re-installation in coming summer shutdown Other reasons? Inconsistencies between modeling and reality, No longitudinal measurement in upstream (too) Emittance growth at MEBT1 Longitudinal mismatch in DTL-SDTL Imperfect matching at MEBT1 After the readiness of linac setting for 25mA on Jan.24, an improved second lattice accomplished on Jan. 26, and studied until Jan. 29. The setting is based on applying Results from transverse measurement and matching at SDTL And with assumption of small longitudinal mismatch between DTL and SDTL Further improvement requires more efforts for consistency between theoretical model and reality
