Dynamic effects during beam-based alignment

Complex beam-based alignment procedures are needed in future linear colliders to reduce the negative effects of static imperfections in the main linac on the beam emittance. The efficiency of these procedures could be affected by dynamic imperfections during their application. In this paper we study the resulting emittance growth.

Luminosity Tuning Bumps in the CLIC Main Linac

Preservation of beam emittance in the CLIC main linac is a challenging task. This requires not only beam-based alignment of the beam line components but also the use of emittance tuning bumps. In this paper the potential use of luminosity tuning bumps is explored and compared to emittance tuning bumps.

Bunch compressor for beam-based alignment

Misalignments in the main linac of future linear colliders can lead to significant emittance growth. Beam-based alignment algorithms, such as Dispersion Free Steering (DFS), are necessary to mitigate these effects. We study how to use the bunch compressor to create the off-energy beams necessary to DFS and discuss the effectiveness of this method.
