ABSTRACT
We present initial results for the self-consistent beam-cloud dynamics simulations for a sample LHC beam, using a newly developed set of modeling capability based on a merge [1] of the three-dimensional parallel Particle-In-Cell (PIC) accelerator code WARP [2] and the electron-cloud code POSINST [3]. Although the storage ring model we use as a test bed to contain the beam is much simpler and shorter than the LHC, its lattice elements are realistically modeled, as is the beam and the electron cloud dynamics. The simulated mechanisms for generation and absorption of the electrons at the walls are based on previously validated models available in POSINST [3, 4].

ECE simulations usually based on two extreme “first-order” simulation models, 2-D or 3-DA. dynamical evolution of e-cloud as a set of macroparticles
under action of successive bunches; beam=prescribed f(x,t);
– study of e-cloud intensity and space-time evolution,
B. dynamical evolution of beam(s) as a set of macroparticles under action of e-clouds; electrons=prescribed f(x,t);
– assessment of emittance growth and beam instabilities.

A.or B. is sufficient in many cases but 3-D self-consistency is sometimes necessary• For example:
– the longitudinal flow of electrons, especially across lattice elements, particularly for long-pulse beams;
– the interaction of the beam and electron cloud with residual and desorbed gas (ionization, charge exchange, secondary ionization, beam-particle-wall collisions, etc).
• However, 3-D self-consistency is very demanding: long systems, many macroparticles, complex geometries,… – requires advanced numerical techniques & supercomputers.
• Examples of codes that include self-consistent features to a lesser or greater extent are given in Ref.[6].

WARP has many well-tested features …
• Geometry: 3D, (x,y), or (r,z)
• Field solvers: FFT, capacity matrix, multigrid
• Boundaries: “cut-cell” --- no restriction to “Legos”
• Bends: “warped” coordinates; no “reference orbit”
• Lattice description: general; takes MAD input
- solenoids, dipoles, quads, sextupoles, …
- arbitrary fields, acceleration
• Beam injection: Child-Langmuir, and other models
• Diagnostics: Extensive snapshots and histories
• Parallel: MPI
• Python and Fortran: “steerable,” input decks are programs
- a GUI is also available

… and new features advancing the state of the art ...

brute-force integration very slow due to small t
Solution*: Interpolation between full-particle dynamics (“Boris mover”) and drift kinetics (motion along B plus drifts)

LHC FODO CELL SIMULATION - 1
• Magnetic fields used have nominal values for 7 TeV beam energy
• Geometry, dimensions and optics as specified in the LHC CDR [9]
• Simplifications for first test:1. all cell magnets other than dipoles and quadrupoles are not
included (actually, replaced by drifts);
2. magnetic edge fields are neglected (hard-edge approx.);
3. beam represented by a single bunch with nominal intensity and emittances;
4. periodic boundary conditions in the longitudinal dimension, for the field, the beam and the electrons (so that, effectively, the model represents a circular ``storage ring'' consisting of a single FODO cell);
5. the energy spread is zero (all particles have nominal energy).
J.-L. Vay, May 13 -17-

LHC FODO CELL SIMULATION - 2
• Simplifications for first test (continued):
6. only one source of primary electrons, namely the photoelectric effect from synchrotron radiation striking the walls of the chamber (at top energy, this mechanism is by far the dominant one). We assumed that:
– the effective quantum efficiency is 0.1, so that 1.27x10-3 photoelectrons are generated on the chamber surface per proton per meter of beam traversal,
– the effective photon reflectivity is 20% (i.e., 80% of the photoelectrons are generated on the illuminated part of the beam screen, while 20% are generated uniformly around the perimeter of the beam screen cross-section).
7. We set the secondary emission yield to zero,
– for the purposes of simulated movies, all macro-electron charges must be set equal. This constraint quickly leads to unmanageable numbers of macroparticles unless the secondary emission yield is set unrealistically low.

DISCUSSION
• LHC FODO cell simulation is of class A. (negligible effects on beam)– elapsed time too short (a few s)
– e-cloud density artificially low (no secondary emission)
• Run took ~8 hours for 3. cells on 2.5 GHz Macintosh G5 using 100,000 macro-particles in proton bunch
• Much larger and more realistic simulations will be carried out on massively parallel computers
