Conceptual design of a pre-booster ring for FCC e(+)e(-) injector

Abstract

The FCC-e(+)e(-) injector complex needs to produce and to transport a high-intensity e(+)/e(-) beam at a fast repetition rate of about 0.1 Hz for topping up the collider at its collision energy. A basic parameter set exists for all the collider energies, assuming a 10 GeV linac operating with a large number of bunches being accumulated in the existing SPS, which serves as pre-accelerator and damping ring before the bunches are transferred to the high-energy booster. The purpose of this study is to provide the conceptual design of an alternative accelerator ring, replacing the SPS in the present scheme. This ring will have injection energy of 6 GeV and extraction energy of 20 GeV. In this study, the basic parameters of the ring are established, including the optics design and layout. Preliminary consideration for non-linear dynamics optimization and the impact of intra beam scattering are also presented.
