Possibilities on GridLeak saturation

Relevant observations that have inspired this:
  • The SpaceCharge and GridLeak luminosity offsets (SO and GLO respectively) show clear separation, with GLO values lower than SO
  • In the UU data, it appears that the GL values and the separation of GLO from SO show some luminosity dependence (observation needs to be firmed up)

So the question is, does GridLeak scaling with luminosity change with luminosity?


A look at Run 13 pp510:

First, (artificial) uncorrected data (corrected data with some guessed correction removed)



Next is the data as measured, with corrections applied:





Distortion maps:

GridLeak distortion correction for a high luminosity run:



Now, two models, showing the delta to the distortion maps:

First, GridLeak ion radial spreading (diffusion):


Second, GridLeak ion recombination with electrons:
