10 LEP 1 LEP 2 In order to increase the collision energy one had to build 240 superconducting radio-freuency cavities. Accelerating gradient = 6 MV / m Freuency = 352 MHz The energy lost due to synchrotron radiation is 2.3 GeV / turn Radio-freuency accelerating voltage has to be 2.3 GV / turn Year: Collision energy: (GeV) 10

12 The collision energy At LEP the collision energy could be determined with a very high accuracy: GeV with an error of GeV Things which affected the energy of LEP: 1. The level of the water in the lake! 2. The moon! 3. The trains to Paris! 12

13 Geological shifts E (MeV) 0 Energy calibrations Horizontal Orbit (X ARC ) Lake level fit During 1993 the LEP energy was observed to change with time. Days Part of the change was due to the water level in lake Geneva which caused small geological shifts of the accelerator. Rainfalls and the water table in the Jura mountains also affected the LEP energy. 13

14 Tides E [MeV] 5 0 November 11 th, 1992 Earth tides caused by the moon will produce small distortions of the earth s crust :00 3:00 7:00 11:00 15:00 19:00 23:00 3:00 This can affect the accelerator so that the electrons orbit change. E [MeV] 5 August 29 th, 1993 October 11 th, 1993 An orbit change of 1 mm will change the energy with about 10 MeV :00 13:00 15:00 17:00 19:00 21:00 23:00 18:00 20:00 22:00 24:00 2:00 4:00 6:00 8:00 Daytime 14

15 Beampipe current The trains from Geneva to France caused parasitic currents on the LEP beampipe. These currents (1 A) affected the magnetic field in the LEP magnets and this changed the energy.
