Synchronous Phase Shift at LHC
Abstract
The electron cloud in vacuum pipes of accelerators of positively charged particle beams causes a beam energy loss which could be estimated from the synchronous phase. Measurements done with beams of 75 ns, 50 ns, and 25 ns bunch spacing in the LHC for some fills in 2010 and 2011 show that the average energy loss depends on the total beam intensity in the ring. Later measurements during the scrubbing run with 50 ns beams show the reduction of the electron cloud due to scrubbing. Finally, measurements of the individual bunch phase give us information about the electron cloud build-up inside the batch and from batch to batch.
