Tutorials will be held on Tuesday morning from 9:00AM-12:30PM.
Machine-Detector Interface Tutorial, John Seeman (SLAC):
The Interaction Region IR in a high-current high-luminosity e+e- collider is compact and complex, combining many of the most difficult aspects of the accelerator and detector. MDI helps coordinate plans for the highly interconnected interface between detector and accelerator to facilitate that both are successful even at the highest luminosities, often at several center-of-mass energies, for example from the Z pole to the t-tbar threshold. The accelerator and detector layouts integrate accelerator components such as lightweight and actively cooled beampipes, superconducting IR-magnets, bellows, and remote vacuum connections with detector components of inner detectors, vertex chamber, diagnostics, luminosity detectors, and utilities (cables, cooling, power, supports). This tutorial will cover more than thirty interface topics (from SC magnets, shielding solenoids, vacuum chamber masks, and inner detector elements to IR beam physics, beam loss sources, various beam backgrounds, and irradiation protection shielding). Examples from past and present colliders (KEKB, PEP-II, SuperKEKB) and future colliders under design (FCCee, ILC) will be used.
Beam-Beam Physics and Modeling Tutorial, Arianna Formenti (LBNL) and Peter Kicsiny (SLAC):
Beam-Beam physics is an important consideration for both accelerator performance and detector backgrounds. This tutorial will introduce the WarpX Particle-in-Cell (PIC) code for beam-beam modeling. The tutorial will provide a hands-on introduction to the simulation code with examples relevant to accelerator and detector physics:
- Beamstrahlung
- Incoherent pair generation
- Hand-off to detector simulations
- Beam-beam effects for turn-by-turn simulations
