Abstract

The Future Circular Collider (FCC), in its leptonic configuration has been chosen by CERN as main proposition for the next high-energy collider. This project aims to achieve luminosities one to two orders of magnitude higher than ever. Feasibility studies have led to the definition of tolerances on magnet imperfections and correction strategies. This is crucial for ensuring the performance of one of the main elements of the acceleration chain, the High Energy Booster (HEB) ring. The efficiency and overall performance of these strategies greatly influence new magnet specifications and tolerances, affecting main optic functions. Horizontal and vertical orbit corrections use horizontal and vertical kickers, respectively. Skew quadrupoles address vertical dispersion and transverse coupling. Normal quadrupoles correct the horizontal and vertical phase advances. This study simulates the distribution of these four corrector types to minimize the equilibrium emittance at the extraction energy of 45.6 GeV. The calculated strengths of these correctors and the associated misalignments are presented. The study also discusses the limitations and drawbacks of the proposed correction strategy.

A European high-energy heavy-ion facility for electronics irradiation based at CERN: Concept Design Report

This proposal presents a concept design for a European high-energy heavy-ion facility dedicated to electronics radiation-effects testing, directly addressing the critical challenges of global beam time shortages and energy limitations in existing facilities. Aligned with the HORIZON-CL4-2026-SPACE-03-85 call under Horizon Europe's Cluster 4 (Digital, Industry, and Space), the facility will enhance European sovereignty in space technology by providing approximately 1,900 additional hours of heavy-ion beam time annually--a 50% increase in European capacity--and extending the accessible ion energy range up to 100 MeV/nucleon, significantly improving penetration capabilities for state-of-the-art electronics testing. The facility will leverage CERN's Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR) synchrotron, integrating a dedicated extraction system, transfer line, and user experimental area. The project timeline includes a technical design study, followed by infrastructure and hardware production, installation, commissioning, and user operations. Funding will be secured through a collaborative framework involving CERN and the European Union, ensuring sustainable deployment and long-term operational success.

Magnetizing nonlinear plasma wakefields for positron acceleration

It is known that only a narrow plasma wakefield sliver in the electron-beam-driven blowout regime suits positron acceleration. Using 3D simulations, we show that matching the cyclotron frequency $ω_{c}$ with the plasma frequency $ω_{p}$ forms a stable electron column on axis, expanding the suitable phase space for positron acceleration sizably. For a plasma density $n_p = 10^{16}\text{ cm}^{-3}$ in a 35 T field, the interval expands 4.3 times, and a witness positron beam gains 100--150 MeV over 6 cm ($1.6$--$2.5$~GeV/m) with a 92\% capture rate.

Beam Tracking I & II

Longitudinal beam dynamics simulations are an essential tool for the design and operation of circular and linear accelerators alike, fundamentally supporting everything from RF system design to the interpretation of beam-based measurements. This paper gives a practical, self-contained introduction to longitudinal beam tracking, aimed at newcomers to the field who wish to build, or better understand, their simulation tools. Starting from the analogy between beam tracking and particle-in-cell plasma simulations, the basic equations of motion, their discretisation, and the choice of phase-space coordinates are introduced, followed by the collective effects driven by the machine impedance. The modelling of the RF system and its associated control loops, and the generation and matching of realistic particle distributions are discussed thereafter. Selected topics that require a fully six-dimensional treatment are briefly touched upon, before closing with practical guidance on the design, optimisation, and benchmarking of longitudinal tracking codes.
