Simulations of beam-wire experiments at RHIC

Abstract :
A weak-strong beam simulation code (BBSIM) is used to study the compensation of long range beam-beam effects by current carrying wires at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Tune footprints and tune scans of diffusive aperture are presented for various wire separation distances. Beam life time is estimated using the dependence of the transverse diffusion coefficients on initial action. Comparison of the loss rate from tracking with that measured by BNL is presented.
