ATS reference case B1, B2

Models of ATS optics: SixTrack inputs

Description of this case:

Achromatic Telescopic Squeeze (ATS) at 7 TeV

In this case, for IP1 and IP5: Beta*=0.15m; for IP2 and IP8: Beta*=10m.

Inputs B1, basic case

Halo setting = 6. sigma (setting of primary collimator).
This case only includes a TCL in cell 4 of IR1.
The TCDQ in IR6 is made of two blocks. The TCTV in IR2 and IR8 are specific of one beam.

Inputs B1, reference case

Halo setting = 6. sigma (setting of primary collimator).
This case includes TCLs in cells 4, 5, 6 and 7 of IR1 and IR5.
The TCDQ in IR6 is made of three blocks. The TCTV in IR2 and IR8 are specific of one beam.

Twiss function for reference case

Plots of the twiss function illustrating the specificities of the ATS optics: the trajectories and beta functions are different in the arcs surrounding the Interactions Points with low Beta* (IP1 and IP5).
