Title: Simulation of Hollow Electron Beam Collimation in the Fermilab Tevatron Collider

Conference · · Conf.Proc.C1205201:94-96,2012
OSTI ID:1048440

The concept of augmenting the conventional collimation system of high-energy storage rings with a hollow electron beam was successfully demonstrated in experiments at the Tevatron. A reliable numerical model is required for understanding particle dynamics in the presence of a hollow beam collimator. Several models were developed to describe imperfections of the electron beam profile and alignment. The features of the imperfections are estimated from electron beam profile measurements. Numerical simulations of halo removal rates are compared with experimental data taken at the Tevatron.
