Systematic error in the energy calculation neglecting 2nd order terms in the calculation of dL



*

Purpose of this analysis is to estimate the systematic error on the 1st order calculation of dL, neglecting the higher order terms of the beam displacement. This is done in one particular case: considering the reference orbit as the central orbit. This is the case that one wants to study because, in the general case, one has to consider the variation of the displacement of the reference orbit along s (position around the ring). This quantity is difficult to measure in practice because the BPM system is not "absolutly" calibrated.

Considering the central orbit as reference orbit, it is possible to exactly calculate the orbit length for a general orbit as
L = cyclic int (sqrt ( f(s) ) ) ds , where
f(s) = (1+X/ro)^2 + (dX/ds)^2 (for bent sections) and
f(s) = 1 + (dX/ds)^2 (for straight sections)
(X: beam displacement at the position s, with respect to the reference orbit;
ro: average bending radius of the bent sections)

Because the reference orbit is the central orbit, it is NOT possible to use this "exact" calculation to get physical results. ALL OF THIS IS A TEST OF THE 1st ORDER ALGORITHM TO CALCULATE dL.

It has been compared the "exact" dL with the 1st ord. dL for the stable run

in three different configurations of BPM saturation:
  • Sat. OK: the configuration used is the correct one for the given run
  • No Sat. BPMs: all the BPM are considered NOT saturated for all the run
  • Lot of Sat. BPMs: the BPM are considered saturated for all the run like in run 2369 (stack 49 etac). This is one of the worst situation:
    Saturated BPMs: 104 106 108 204 206 306 406 508 603 606 608
    BPMs close to saturation: 101 103 506 601
    •

    The results are summarized in this plot:

    In average, the 1st order dL understimate the "real" dL for 80 um (Sat. OK value). Furthermore, the error slightly depend upon dL: in the case of Sat. OK (slope = 1.002), this means that the 1st order calculation of dL = 10 mm is underestimated by 60 um and of dL = -10 mm by 100 um. This is an error of /e835/people/15 KeV in energy in the worst case.

    These are the table of data:
    correct saturation pattern for the given run
    BPMs considered NOT saturated
    BPMs considered saturated like in run 2369
