Nominal vs Early Ion Beam in LHC
Parameter Units Nominal Early Beam
Energy per nucleon TeV/n 2.76 2.76
Initial Luminosity L0 cm-2 s-1 1 1027 5 1025
# bunches/bunch harmonic 592/891 62/66
Bunch spacing ns 99.8 1350
b* m 0.5 (same as p) 1.0
Number of Pb ions/bunch 7 107 7 107
Transv. norm. rms emittance mm 1.5 1.5
Longitudinal emittance eVs/charge 2.5 2.5
Luminosity half-life (1,2,3 expts.) h 8,4.5,3 14,7.5,5.5
Why Early Beam? much easier for injectors (Linac3, LEIR, PS), shorter LHC filling time (4’/ring)Keep nominal bunch population (7 107 ions/bunch) to study limitations without risksA Luminosity of L=5 1025 cm-2 s-1 (lower by a factor 20) by fewer bunches (1/10) and * =1 m (factor 1/2) useful for physics (early results) improved Luminosity lifetime because of larger *

Commissioning Pb-Pb in the SPS Ring
• Use TWC 200 MHz and part of the beam control already used for the fixed target ion operation with at least 2 main differences:
- bunch to bucket transfer at injection (injection phase errors are critical)
- new hardware is needed for the synchronization at flat top for extraction to LHC
• Manpower for the beam control upgrade is about 1 m.y

Commissioning Pb-Pb in the LHC Main Rings
• Refer to detailed plan presented in Chamonix 2005• Basic principle: Make the absolute minimum of
changes to the working p-p configuration– Magnetically identical transfer, injection, ramp, squeeze of IP1,
IP5– Same beam sizes– Different RF frequency swing, add squeeze of IP2
• Requirements– Ion injector chain ready with Early Beam– Minimum instrumentation for ions set up
• Need ionization profile monitors

How long will it take to commission Pb ions in LHC?
• This will be done when the LHC is already operational with protons
• There is previous experience of switching a hadron collider from one species to another.– RHIC changed a few times, typically from ions to p-p, with 1
week setup + 1 week performance “ramp-up”• More complicated optics changes than LHC (injection is below
transition with ions, above with protons) • Protons are polarized
– Done a few times with the first ion collider at CERN• More directly comparable with LHC ?

Factoring in ¼ century of progress in computing, the switchover in the LHC should be achievable in ~1 h.

Summary Pb Injectors
Higher performance ECR source can now produce lead ions
LEIR beam commissioning has made good progress
PS Injection systems will be installed and ready for the end of March
New rf hardware (beam control for the nominal beam) will be installed in the PS for the end of March
Four new quadrupoles are installed in TT2 and ready for tests
So, all the hardware in the PS and TT2 will be installed and tested by the end of March 2006
New synchronization hardware for injection and acceleration will be installed in the SPS (need some attention for 1 m.y)

Summary for LHC Main Rings
• Early Ion Scheme to be scheduled – Switchover from p-p should be possible in 1 week (if ion
injection available at the right time)
• Performance limits for Nominal Scheme to be clarified with Early Scheme, in particular:– Test understanding of BFPP and quenches
– Test understanding of losses from collimation • After Early Scheme Run, increase number of bunches
towards Nominal and complete first phase of LHC ion programme

Summary I-LHC Project
• Early Beam is just the beginning and opens the door to the Nominal Beam
• Project Schedule: Pb in LEIR until the end of April 2006, PS as from Sept 2006, SPS in 2007, LHC in 2008.
• Studies on the nominal beam in the injectors should start in 2007 in LEIR/PS
in order to go forward to the nominal LHC luminosity.
• The reasons to maintain the commissioning schedule for Pb-ion injectors are: - All the hardware (except in SPS) will be operational by the end of March - in 2006 and early 2007, the LHC is not running and it will be easier to
accommodate commissioning periods for the PS and SPS - in 2006, the expected beam time requirements for CNGS is less
demanding in protons as this year is not a standard year
