0. Very nice work of James Jones was discussed at the meeting. His presentation can be downloaded from a webpage of http://acfahep.kek.jp/subg/ir/nanoBPM/nano.project/third/talks/james.ppt at the home page of the 3rd mini-workshop on Nano project at ATF (http://acfahep.kek.jp/subg/ir/nanoBPM/nano.project/third/third.htm). This discussions then followed by discussion of optics and magnets. Brief comments form this meeting are summarized below.

1. Tolerance for the multipoles:

(1) Need to express the results in convenient for magnet designers units (e.g. b/B at 1cm radius?), compare results from James with results from Kuroda-san.

(2) Need to get all results from James as a table.

(3) Need to create a table of tolerances to be included into the proposal text. Simulations need to be redone for "optimal optics" to which the new diagnostics would be added.

(4) Need to compare the calculated tolerances with the measured values for the BT quads (although the measurements were not very reliable, see below). If the sextupole errors are the biggest effect and tighter than what is measured, then need to evaluate if such errors can be corrected by the nominal sextupoles of the beamline.

2. Position tolerances:

(1) Static tolerances for beam size increase agree with analytical calculations by FFADA program.

(2) At the goal A of ATF2, jitter tolerances are namely of less than ~30% of the beam jitter. With about 20magnets in the beamline, this would be approximately equivalent to 7% jitter from each individual quad. The FD may indeed be considered separately.

(3) At the goal B (2nm stability at IP), the tolerances could be the same as those of the goal A, and beam stability (of 2%, for goal B) would be provided by intratrain feedback, where we need to be sure that jitter stability of the kicker is sufficiently good, and not as much about the vibration stability. However, ILC-like fast kicker will not be installed at beginning of operation with the goal B. The fast kicker must be checked separately from the ATF2 program, since it might take significant time in order to achieve the target performance. Therefore, the jitter shall be controlled at 5% if the technologies; e.g. feedforward system, very stable power supplies and support system, are available. So, it could be expressed that with about 20magnets in the beamline, this would be approximately equivalent to 1% jitter from each individual quad. However, this requirement might be too much simplified. We need a realistic simulation to estimate "the jitter tolerances" at each magnet with James's program.

(4) In the simulations of orbit correction one can optimize locations and number of correctors and aim to zero the orbit through sextupoles. The optimal orbit correction should relax the tolerances significantly. Also, we discussed on a correction scheme based on the magnet-movers. One of the approaches, at ATF2, would be to allow redundancy, so we would have all magnets on movers and also would have several correctors. The correctors would allow faster response, and thus we would not depend on the question whether the FFTB-movers are fast enough to perform the orbit correction.

(5) In simulations of knobs, one could use all sextupoles and create knobs for all terms including coupling. The waist scan can also be done with sextupole knobs. Knobs should relaxed the tolerances even further.

3. Quadrupole magnets:

Base design on BT quads type A. Multipoles of such magnets were measured but the measurements were not reliable. Need to re-measure. One possibility is to remove a quad from the beamline during summer shutdown. Junji thinks that a prototype for such quad was manufactured and should be available somewhere. It needs to be located, and then it can be used for measurements. Quads order from IHEP will proceed regardless of the timeline (1-3) choice. If more quads are needed for extended diagnostics, they will be added to the order.


4. Power supplies:

Criterion of 2% effect on the beam imposed as tight as 1E-5 of field strength error for final quad. This is difficult but the FFTB power supplies achieved that level. The essential part is special controller/regulator of the power supply. These devices were made at SLAC. They are rather independent of the power supply. Tor said that we can quite quickly find out if the power supplies would be available.


5. Optics modifications:

(1) Concentrate on "optimal" design (straight)
(2) change bends from sector bends to rectangular
(3) use 0.8m (as used in ATF) instead of 1m for better field stability and more space
(4) provide space near octupoles and study is we really need them
(5) extend diagnostics section (use up to ~10m additional space)
(6) QM14 is the strongest quad, and is close to max field of BT quads, need to check if its strength can be reduced by reoptimization the matching section
