Recent studies of dispersion matched steering for the ILC bunch compressor and main linac
The Dispersion Matched Steering (DMS) method is studied in detail in the context of a curved main linac. In the absence of cavity tilts (rotations in the YZ plane), DMS provides a unique and stable solution with negligible emittance growth. If cavity tilts are about 300 {micro}rad, the algorithm is not very robust. The emittance growth through the entire linac for positrons is about 5 nm, if the system is strictly static and statistical averaging can be used to improve beam position measurements. This growth is mostly eliminated if the dispersion and its derivative at injection can be adjusted. If anticipated ground motion, beam and klystron jitter, beam position measurement resolution are introduced (i.e. dynamical case), the emittance preservation goal is currently not achieved by DMS alone. Mitigation strategies are outlined.
