The Collider RF system is required to accelerate and store a 70 nlA DC proton beam from 2 TeV to 20 TeV. Various approaches have been studied as possible ways to accomplish this task. These include systems based on five-cell normal conducting cavities, single-cell normal conducting cavities, and single-cell superconducting cavities. This paper outlines the physics requirements that the system must meet and presents comparisons of the expected performance of various systems. Transient beam loading, injection error, power requirements, coupled bunch mode instabilities, etc. are considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
