Corrections of gradient errors in the interactions regions (IRs) of high energy colliders have traditionally been made by changing the strengths of quadrupoles that are common to both beams, such as the triplet quadrupoles. This article shows that magnetic errors in the IR quadrupoles that are no common to both beams, such as the matching quadrupoles, can have an important influence and, therefore, the correction should also include these quadrupoles. A correction based on twelve IR quadrupoles (common and no common) is presented and validated through MADX simulations. To estimate the strengths of this correction, the action and phase in the inter-triplet space, the space that separates the two triplets of the IR, are required. A novel method to estimate these quantities is also presented. The main sources of uncertainties in this novel method are identified and compared to the current method that uses two beam position monitor within the inter-triplet space. Finally, LHC experimental data is used to estimate the strengths of a twelve-quadrupole correction in the interaction region 1 of the LHC. The resulting correction is compared with a six-quadrupole correction estimated with another method called segment-by-segment (SBS).

Magnetic and mechanical designs of a Nb3Sn quadrupole magnet with 120-mm aperture suitable for interaction regions of hadron colliders are presented. The magnet is based on a two-layer shell-type coil and a cold iron yoke. Special spacers made of a low-Z material are implemented in the coil mid-planes to reduce the level of radiation heat deposition and radiation dose in the coil. The quadrupole mechanical structure is based on aluminum collars supported by an iron yoke and a stainless steel skin. Magnet parameters including maximum field gradient and field harmonics, Nb3Sn coil pre-stress and protection at the operating temperatures of 4.5 and 1.9 K are reported. The level and distribution of radiation heat deposition in the coil and other magnet components are discussed.
Plasma-based accelerators have achieved tremendous progress in the past few decades, thanks to the advances of high power lasers and the availability of high-energy and relativistic particle beams. However, the electrons (or positrons) accelerated in the plasma wakefields are subject to radiation losses, which generally suppress the final energy gains of the beams. In this paper, radiation reaction in plasma-based high-energy accelerators is investigated using test particle approach. Energy-frontier TeV colliders based on a multiple stage laser-driven plasma wakefield accelerator and a single-staged proton-driven plasma wakefield accelerator are studied in detail. The results show that the higher axial and transverse field gradients seen by an off-axis injected witness beam result in a stronger damping force on the accelerated particles. Proton-driven plasma wakefield accelerated electrons are shown to lose less energy compared to those accelerated in a multi-staged laser-driven plasma wakefield accelerator.
Experimental results and simulation models show that crystals might play a relevant role for the development of new generations of high-energy and high-intensity particle accelerators and might disclose innovative possibilities at existing ones. In this paper we describe the most advanced manufacturing techniques of crystals suitable for operations at ultra-high energy and ultra-high intensity particle accelerators, reporting as an example of potential applications the collimation of the particle beams circulating in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, which will be upgraded through the addition of bent crystals in the frame of the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider project.
DAFNE, the Frascati F-factory, has recently completed experimental runs for the three main detectors, KLOE, FINUDA and DEAR achieving 1.6x10E+32 cm-2s-1 peak and 10 pb-1 daily integrated luminosities. Improving these results by a significant factor requires changing the collision scheme. For this reason, in view of the SIDDHARTA detector installation, relevant modifications of the machine have been realized, aimed at implementing a new collision scheme based on a large Piwinski angle and crab-waist, together with several other hardware modifications involving injection kickers, bellows and beam pipe sections.
Laser-plasma accelerators (LPAs) outperform current radiofrequency technology in acceleration strength by orders of magnitude. Yet, enabling them to deliver competitive beam quality for demanding applications, particularly in terms of energy spread and stability, remains a major challenge. In this Letter, we propose to combine bunch decompression and active plasma dechirping for drastically improving the energy profile and stability of beams from LPAs. Start-to-end simulations demonstrate the efficacy of such post-acceleration phase-space manipulations and the potential to reduce current state-of-the-art energy spread and jitter from $1%$ to $0.10%$ and $0.024%$, respectively, closing the beam-quality gap to conventional acceleration schemes.
