GDE Sendai Meeting Lattice Evaluation
Responses to Lattice Evaluation
Response from Jie Gao
Dear All,
After reading the evaluation tables, I recommend FODO5 to be the baseine since FODO5
get the highest point in the performance among the four choices " Lattice design and
dynamical properties" which is the most important for ILC damping design at this stage
after cost saving compared with OCS8, and I hope our colleagueus make a good choice
for ILC DR which has the best performance, and focused on the EDR design.
Best regards
Jie GAO
Response from Susanna Guiducci
Hi Mark, Andy and Junji
I mainly agree with ranking reported in the lattice evaluation document; below just a few comments:
*1) * Lattice design and dynamical problems
I think that the optimal value of the momentum compaction for RF and bunch length is around
2 e-4 and therefore the choice is between *FODO5* and *DCO*, which are centered on this value.
*FODO4* has a satisfactory dynamic aperture at ac=2e-4. This is the result of an accurate
optimization work and shows that FODO lattice has a large flexibility ( 4-fold
and 8-fold symmetry, ac=6 e-4 - 1.7 e-4) and it can achieve a satisfactory dynamic aperture.
*DCO* has a dynamic aperture satisfying the minimum design requirements for ac=2.8e-4 and 1.7e-4.
I'm confident that it can be improved with dedicated work.
*2) *Conventional facilities and services
For the EDR phase the choice of the layout is crucial since it is strictly connected to the
choices of the CFS. The racetrak layout of the *DCO *lattice with 2 long straights, where
the major components are clustered in alcoves within a few hundred meters from the access
shafts, seems to me the optimal solution for costs reduction and operational efficiency.
Therefore I agree with the choice of the *DCO* lattice for the EDR.
I think that the choice of the arc cell is less critical than the layout choice; more or
less all the lattices can achieve the design parameters but it is important to fix one and
to concentrate all the efforts on dynamic aperture optimization, evaluation of low emittance
tuning and collective effects and on cost/benefits optimization.
Thank you for the exhaustive work done for the comparison,
Susanna
Response from Craig Burkhart
Mark,
Unfortunately, I had to leave yesterday's discussion just as you started into the evaluation
table. My interpretation of the Table and the comments that have been subsequently exchanged
is that all four approaches are technically sound, the DCO is marginally superior to either
FODO and the OSC8 is marginally inferior.
That said, cost should then become a primary concern. There are clearly cost components in
the evaluation, but since the technically merits of the competing systems are similar shouldn't
a greater weighting be placed on cost?
If you conclude that the present evaluation places sufficient weight on cost, I certainly
support your conclusions.

Response from Mike Zisman
Folks:
I do think there is merit in Craig's comments. In practice, I think it means that you should
try to keep the FODO5 lattice "alive" until there is an opportunity to do a cost comparison.
Insofar as we suspect that the DCO lattice will be less expensive, there should be no objection
to using it as the baseline, with the FODO5 lattice serving as backup. From an engineering
perspective, that probably means doing a bottom-up cost estimate for the DCO version with
subsequent "deltas" to assess the relative costs of FODO5. This could even be a management
milestone at some point, say one year from now.
...something to consider.
Cheers,
Mike
Response from Louis Emery
To all,
I agree with the relative scores in the tables.
I would weight the first table more. But I think
it would not change the order of the results.
I'm leaning towards the DCO cell structure because
of the reduced number of magnets, and I think the
DA problem is not insurmountable.
I missed the webex session on Tuesday, so I have some
comments and questions:
I'm not sure how the DCO lattice at 100 degrees/cell
ended up with a (much?) smaller
dynamic aperture than the FODO5 lattice with 108 degree
per cell. I see that the cell length for DCO is shorter (making the
dispersion smaller) than the FODO5 FODO
cell, perhaps to partially compensate the larger I5 created by the
shorter and stronger dipole. I think the dynamic acceptance of FODO
cells with constant circumference should scale roughly as the cell
length squared. So a shorter dipole magnet resulted in a smaller dynamic
aperture.
Andy, was using a 2x field in the dipole for reducing the total dipole
magnet cost? Could the magnet be longer without disrupting
the mechanical layout much?
To rephrase a point by Aimin, if maintaining a 90 degree phase advance
is important for dynamic aperture, then an "upgrade" of momentum
compaction from 1.7e-4 to a value 25% lower can be done with the
conversion of the DCO cell to a TME-cell (keeping 90 degree
cell) by the insertion of one quad. This is, of course, at a cost of
192 magnets.
How does the lower symmetry of the DCO lattice affect the
dynamic aperture? Could we have the superconducting
stuff together in two groups at a 90 degree azimuth relative to
the injection and extraction (like FODO4 but with doglegs added to
reduce heat load)?
Thanks.

Response from Andy Wolski
Dear Louis,
Thanks for your comments. You raise some good questions: the dynamic aperture in particular
is something that we should look at carefully, to make sure that we understand the issues,
and arrive at an optimum solution.
Regarding the dipole field, this (or, equivalently, the dipole length) was used as a variable
in the cell design of the DCO lattice to control the momentum compaction factor. But the
dependencies are not strong, and there is plenty of space in the lattice if it is found that
a longer magnet would be preferable. I'm not sure that cost is a real issue. My guess is
that to first order, the dipole cost depends on the beam energy and total bend angle. Since
all the lattices we considered for the baseline have a total bend of 2pi and all operate at
5 GeV, I would expect any differences in dipole cost to be small. The installation costs may
depend more on the number of dipoles (so, a smaller number of dipoles may be cheaper to install,
even if each individual dipole is heavier), but I'm not sure about this.
I thought the comparison between the OCS-style and DCO-style arc cells presented by Aimin was
extremely interesting. I had not viewed a TME cell in that way before. It does raise some
interesting upgrade possibilities, as you point out.
The layout is also an issue that we need to pursue. While it is necessary at this stage to have
a single lattice identified as the baseline, it is very important to maintain at least one
alternate, so that we can understand the influence of things like the layout on cost, dynamics,
etc.
Best regards,
Andy.
Response from Mark Palmer
Hi All,
I would like to say thank you to everyone who sent a response to the lattice evaluation
exercise. An updated version of the lattice evaluation document has just been placed on
the lattice evaluation page (%SCRIPTURLPATH%/view/ILC/DampingRings/LatEvalPage)
along with copies of the responses. The direct document link is:
%PUBURLPATH%/ILC/DampingRings/LatEvalPage/DRLatticeEvaluation_2008_0306.pdf
At this point, both of the lattices which can accommodate 6 mm bunch lengths (FODO5 and DCO)
appear promising. The growing consensus is that both should be maintained while further
investigations of the beam dynamics, technical issues, and costing are explored further. The
cost, reliability and availability issues that appeared both directly and indirectly in the
evaluations favor DCO because of the clustering of many technically challenging components in
the rings as close as possible to the two access shafts. It is also the case that most feel
that any dynamics issues remaining in the designs can likely be successfully dealt with.
Thus the recommendation that has been passed to the project managers is that the DCO be
specified as the baseline lattice and FODO5 as the alternative lattice for the ILC Technical Design Phase.
If there are further comments/concerns, please continue to send them to the full mailing list.
Cheers,
Mark
