TL;DR
This paper discusses the design considerations for implementing an AC dipole at the LHC, based on scaling from existing devices at BNL, FNAL, and CERN, to enable rapid optics measurements.
Contribution
It introduces the parameters and scaling approach for an AC dipole tailored for the LHC, adapting proven designs from other accelerators.
Findings
Parameters for the LHC AC dipole are derived from existing devices.
Scaling laws from BNL, FNAL, and CERN devices inform the LHC design.
The paper provides a foundation for future implementation at the LHC.
Abstract
Following successful experience at the BNL AGS, FNAL Tevatron, and CERN SPS, an AC Dipole will be adopted at the LHC for rapid measurements of ring optics. This paper describes some of the parameters of the AC dipole for the LHC, scaling from performance of the FNAL and BNL devices.
