Temperature vs. beam study with SVD 1.4 beampipe, May 2001 (ss) ----------------------------------------------------------- According to IHI stress analysis for SVD 1.4 beampipe, maximal allowed temperature difference between centre of He cooled Be part and water cooled Al part is 5K. To predict if heating of the IR beampipe presents a limitation in terms of maximal allowed current for the KEK-B operation, a study was made using high current operating conditions from 16-May-2001: I_LER=850mA I_HER=750mA n_bunch=1150 for both beams (see figure beam_phy.eps) We monitored the temperatures of the water cooled Al part closest to Berillium section and centre of the Be section, and we corrected the measured temperatures with the known offset values obtained during the winter shutdown in January 2001 (see figure cal-1.eps) The main source of IR heating is expected to be HOM, where the heating power is related to the current (of a single beam) as P = k_l * ( i_b * n_b )**2 / (f_0 * n_b) = k_l * I**2 / (f_0 * n_b) = const. * I**2 i_b=bunch current n_b=number of bunches (1150 in present KEKB operation, constant) f_0=revolution frequency (100kHz, constant) k_l=longitudinal loss factor (property of the cavity, constant) I=total beam current and thus under above conditions P = const. * I**2 In case of two beams (with approx. the same bunch current in each beam i.e. approx. same beam current), one can thus also expect some quadratic dependence of temperature vs. the sum of both currents. Measured temperature difference Be-Al fits perfectly with a quadratic curve for the current range 1100mA2.7A. fitted function: T = P1 + P2*I + P3*I**2 P1 P2 P3 chi**2/ndf ndf ------------------------------------------------------------------ Be-Al (backwd) 1.42157 9.69353E-05 4.74503E-07 0.3742E-01 41 Be-Al (forwd) 1.55216 4.55104E-05 3.59329E-07 0.2633E-01 41 To get more data points in the fit at lower currents, we took not only average over a few nice runs with high beam currents, but the entire run period 21-31 May 2001. Fitted quadratic curve is in this case almost the same as in the case of high current data only (see figures beam516_0.eps, beam521-532_0.eps). We could conclude that present (1.4) beampipe shuld be able to withstand operation of the KEK-B with both beams exceeding 1A, which is probably sufficient until the next upgrade in 2002. More data at high currents is needed, which will surely soon be provided by excellent KEK-B operation.
