Tuning of CLIC-Final Focus System 3 TeV Baseline Design Under Static and Dynamic Imperfections

In this paper we present the tuning study of the Compact Linear Collider - Final Focus System (CLIC-FFS) 3 TeV baseline design under static and dynamic imperfections for the first time. The motion of the FFS magnets due to ground motion and the impact of active and passive mechanisms envisaged to stabilize both e − and e + systems are described. It is found that the Pre-isolator required for stabilization of the Final Doublet drives the performance of the collider at the final stages of the tuning process. The obtained tuning performance depending on the stabilization techniques are discussed in detail.

Transverse Tolerances of a Multi-Stage Plasma Wakefield Accelerator

Plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) provides GeV/mscale accelerating fields, ideal for applications such as a future linear collider. However, strong focusing fields imply that a transversely offset beam with an energy spread will experience emittance growth from the energy dependent betatron oscillation. We develop an analytic model for estimating tolerances from this effect, as well as an effective simplified simulation tool in Elegant. Estimations for a proposed 1 TeV PWFA linear collider scheme indicate tight tolerances of order 40 nm and 1 μrad in position and angle respectively.
