The Calibration Factor Determined and Analysis for HLS Bunch Current Measurement System | |
|
||
| For bunch current measurement, the calibration factor is a key parameter. Usually, button electrode or stripline electrode can be selected as signal pickup, and peak value or integral of bunch signal from pickup can be used to calculate the related bunch current value. To obtain the absolute value of bunch current, the calibration factor should be determined with the help of DCCT. At HLS, the Stretch effect of bunch length was observed when bunch current decay over time and this will affect the performance of bunch current detection for different pickup type and calculate method. Theoretical analysis and experimental validation results are performed to find out an ideal solution for bunch current measurement at HLS. The results show that, bunch current measurement system can obtain the best performance by stripline and its integral signal. | ||

Pulsed Electron Beam Current and Flux Monitor for the Race-Track Microtron | |
|
||
| In electron irradiation experiments on the materials, a true current of the electron beam is to be known to calculate the electron fluence received by the sample. Therefore, a pulsed electron beam current and flux monitor alongwith electronic system for an electron accelerator called Race-Track Microtron has been designed and developed. The sensing device used was a ferrite core having suitable number of turns of copper wire wound around it, through which the electron beam was passed without loss in the intensity. With an appropriate developed electronic circuit, the instantaneous value of the induced voltage was measured which in turn provides value of the electron beam pulsed current. The total charge passed through the ferrite core per unit time was therefore recorded and an integrated value of the total charge in a given period could be derived. This system can be used to measure the electron flux in the range from 108 electron/cm2 to 1016 electron/cm2. Moreover, this system has been used successfully in a few electron irradiation experiments where the knowledge of the electron fluence received by the sample is required. | ||

BPM Selection for Beam Current Monitoring in SSRF | |
|
||
| Although Direct Current Current Transformer (DCCT) is the general solution of beam current monitor, Beam Position Monitor (BPM) sum signals may still surpass it in some aspects such as the faster data rate and higher resolution in low current situations. Nevertheless, an additional monitor should be harmless. Meanwhile, the DCCTs in the storage ring of Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) have been suffering from various noise and the signals from the BPMs could be an aid to provide the beam current more accurately. There're 140 BPMs in the storage ring in SSRF but not all of them are suitable for this particular usage. This article focuses on the methods used here to dynamicly choose the BPMs that meet the criteria. | ||

Application of Single Crystal Diamonds (sCVD) as Beam Conditions Monitors at LHC | |
|
||
| The properties of the single-crystal diamond (scCVD): radiation hardness, low leakage current and fast signal, make it suitable for use as a particle detector in areas of high radiation dose. The Beam Conditions and Radiation Monitoring system (BRM) of the CMS experiment has a monitor (BCM1F) consisting of 4 modules located 1.8 m away from the interaction point, on both sides. Each module contains a sensor, radiation hard FEE and optical transmission of the signal. It counts single particles of beam halo, beam-gas, machine induced background, and collision products. The BRM protects CMS from high beam losses and provides feedback to the LHC and CMS on the beam conditions. The BCM1F sub-detector is very helpful as it is able to provide different background information together with luminosity correlations. Additional scCVD sensors are being installed in the LHC ring to be used as BLMs. The new BLM system (BCM1F4LHC) will be composed of 8 diamonds in points likely to suffer from beam losses. Nowadays, four sensors deliver information of hit rates that are correlated to the existing BLMs. A characterization of both BCM1F systems is presented. | ||

Development of Optical Fiber Beam Loss Monitor System for the KEK Photon Factory | |
|
||
| Beam loss monitor system using optical fibers has been developed to determine the loss point of the injected beam at the KEK Photon Factory (PF) electron storage ring. Large-core optical fiber was installed along the vacuum chamber of the storage ring, of which circumference is about 187m. In order to cover the whole location, total 10 optical fibers with the length of 30 m is used. Both ends of the fiber has been fed out of the radiation shield of the ring. The Cherenkov light produced by the electron which is not captured in the ring, is detected by a photomultiplier tube (PMT) attached on the upstream side of the fiber. Rise-time of the PMT of 5 ns is fast enough to determine the location of the beam loss point. In the KEK-PF, two kinds of injection system, kicker magnets and a pulsed sextupole magnet (PSM), has been used for the routine operation. In this paper, details of the loss monitor system are reported and the difference of the two injection system will be discussed. | ||

Design Status of Beam Position Monitors for ADS Injector II Proton LINAC | |
|
||
| Beam Position Monitors (BPM) based on capacitive pick-ups are designed for Accelerator-Driven System (ADS) Injector II proton LINAC. This LINAC is aiming to produce a maximum design current of 15 mA at the 10 MeV energy with an operating frequency of 162.5 MHz. Non-interceptive BPM will be installed to measure the transverse beam position and beam phase in the vacuum chamber. Depending on the location, the response of the BPMs must be optimized for a beam with an energy range from 2.1 up to 10 MeV and an average current between 0.01 and 15 mA. Apart from the broadening of the electromagnetic field due to the low-beta beam, specific issues are affecting some of the BPMs: tiny space in the transport line between the RFQ and the cryomodule and the cryogenic temperature inside the cryomodule. For this reason two types of BPMs are being designed for each location (MEBT and cryomoudle). In this contribution, the present status of the design of each BPM will be presented, focusing on the electromagnetic response for low-beta beams. | ||

HOM Choice Study with Test Electronics for use as Beam Position Diagnostics in 3.9 GHz Accelerating Cavities in FLASH | |
|
||
|
Funding: Work supported in part by the European Commission within the Framework Programme 7, Grant Agreement 227579 Higher Order Modes (HOM) excited by the beam in the 3.9 GHz accelerating cavities in FLASH can be used for beam position diagnostics, as in a cavity beam position monitor. Previous studies of the modal choices within the complicated spectrum have revealed several options*: cavity modes with high coupling to the beam, and therefore with the potential for better position resolution, but which are propagating within all 4 cavities, and modes localized in the cavities or the beam pipes, which can give localized position information, but which provide worse resolution. For a better characterization of these options, test electronics has been built, which can down convert various frequencies between about 4 and 9 GHz to 70 MHz. The performance of various 20 MHz bands has been estimated. The best resolution of 20 μm was found for some propagating modes. Based on this study one band at ca. 5 GHz was chosen for high resolution position monitoring and a band at ca. 9 GHz for localized monitoring. * N. Baboi et al., SRF2011, Chicago, IL, US |

Funding: CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) CEA (Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique); Région Basse Normandie Co-Authors: P. Ausset, J. Lesrel, P. Blache, P. Dambre, G. Belot, E. Marius The SPIRAL 2 facility will be able to deliver stable heavy ion beams and deuteron beams at very high intensity, producing and accelerating light and heavy rare ion beams. The driver will accelerate between 0.15mA and 5 mA deuteron beam up to 20 MeV/u and also q/A=1/3 heavy ions up to 14.5 MeV/u. The accurate tuning of the LINAC is essential for the operation of SPIRAL2 and requires from the Beam Position Monitor (BPM) system the measurements of the beam transverse position, the phase of the beam with respect to the radiofrequency voltage and the beam energy. Twenty three BPM were realized for SPIRAL2. This paper addresses all aspects of the design, realization, and calibration of these BPM, while emphasizing the determination of the beam position and shape. The measurements on the BPM are carried out on a test bench in the laboratory: the position mapping with a resolution of 50 μm is performed and the sensitivity to the beam displacement is about 1.36dB/mm at the centre of the BPM. The characterization of the beam shape is performed by means of a special test bench configuration. An overview of the electronics under realization for the BPM of the SPIRAL2 Linac is given.

In this paper we describe the design and construction of a first prototype based on four scintillating fibers coupled to one photodiode each, to detect the light produced by the fibers when intercepting the beam tails. The results of the first beam test using a 6GeV proton beam from the PS accelerator at CERN are also presented.

| Beam excited higher order modes (HOM) in 3.9GHz accelerating cavities at the European XFEL are planned to be used for beam position monitoring. The selected HOMs are located around 5440MHz and 9060MHz and are filtered in a bandwidth of 100MHz. A downconverter test electronics converts the HOMs to an intermediate frequency of 70MHz.

Signal Transmission Characteristics in Stripline-Type Beam Position Monitor | |
|
||
| New stripline-type beam position monitor (BPM) system is under development at the KEKB injector linac in order to measure transverse beam positions with a high precision less than 10 micron meters towards the Super KEKB-factory (SKEKB) at KEK. During the KEKB operation, conventional stripline-type BPMs with a position resolution of 0.1 mm have been working well. However, the high-precision BPM system is strongly required for the SKEKB operation to stably accelerate single-bunch electron and positron beams with high bunch charges of ~5 nC/bunch, and also to keep the beam stability with higher brightness. The new stripline-type BPMs with large aperture compared with previously designed BPMs, which will be installed just after the positron production and capture section, have been designed. In this report, the basic design for fabricating the prototype stripline-type BPM, and, especially, theoretical analysis and experimental investigations on the signal propagation characteristics and performance along the stripling electrodes are described in detail on the base of a coupled-mode analysis of uniform coupled transmission lines. | ||

Ultra-fast Data Acquisition System for Coherent Synchrotron THz Radiation based on YBCO Film Detectors | |
|
||
| The ANKA synchrotron radiation source located at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany operates in the energy range between 0.5-2.5GeV and provides coherent synchrotron radiation. To resolve the ultra-short terahertz pulses emitted by a single bunch, thin YBCO superconducting film detectors have been developed. A response time of 45ps was determined as the FWHM of the voltage transient at the output of the analog amplifier. A novel and high accuracy data acquisition architecture for sampling of the individual ultra-short terahertz pulses for coherent synchrotron radiation is presented. The high bandwidth acquisition chain consists of wide bandwidth low noise amplifier connected to a high-speed digitizer board. The digitizer board is a made-in-house board designed for sampling of the fast pulse signals with pulse width between few tens of picosecond until 100ps. A prototype setup with terahertz detectors,digitizer boards and the highthroughput FPGA framework has been successfully developed and tested at ANKA. The overview of the experimental setup including the YBCO detector technology and the preliminary results with single and multibunch filling pattern will be discussed. | ||

Implementation of an FPGA Based System Survey and Diagnostic Reader with the Aim to Increase the System Dependability | |
|
||
| The operation and machine protection of accelerators practically rely on their underlying instrumentation systems and a failure of any of those systems could pose a significant impact on the overall reliability and availability. In order to improve the detection and in some cases the prevention of failures, a survey mechanism could be integrated to the system that collects crucial information about the current system status through a number of acquisition modules. The implementation and integration of such a method is presented with the aim to standardize the implementation, where the acquisition modules share a common build and are connected through a standardized interface to a survey reader. The reader collects regularly data and controls the readout intervals. The information collected from these modules is used locally in the FPGA device to identify critical system failures and results in an immediate failsafe reaction with the data also transmitted and stored in external databases for offline analysis. | ||

The BLEDP card consists of eight analogue channels each with a fully differential integrator and an accompanying 16 bit ADC at the output of each analogue integrator. The on-board FPGA device controls the integral periods, instructs the ADC devices to perform measurements at the end of each period and collects the measurements. In the next stage it combines the number of charge and discharge cycles accounted in the last interval together with the cycle fractions observed using the ADC samples to produce a digitized high precision value of the charges collected. This paper describes briefly the principle of the fully differential integrator and focuses on the algorithm employed to process the digital data. | ||

Signal Equalizer for SPS Ecloud/TMCI Instability Feedback Control System | |
|

Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy under contract #DE-AC02-76F00515 and the US LHC Accelerator Research Program. The 4GS/sec electron cloud and transverse mode coupled instability (TMCI) control system in development for the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) requires 1.5GHz of processing bandwidth for the beam pickups and signal digitizer. An exponentially tapered stripline pickup has sufficient bandwidth, but has a phase response that distorts the beam signal in the time domain. We report on results from the design and implementation of an equalizer for the front end signal processing with correction for the pickup and cable responses. Using a model of the transfer functions for the pickups and the cabling, we determine a desired frequency response for the equalizer. Design for the circuitry, component value fitting is discussed as well as board construction and reduction of parasitic impedances. Finally, we show results from the measurement of an assembled equalizer, compare them with simulations and show beam signals from use at the SPS. |

Inverse Response Matrix Computation for the Storage Ring Slow Orbit Feedback Control: Synthesized Topological Inversion Computation | |
|
||
|
Using the derivative response matrix between BPM-data and MPS-setting, we described the inverse computation methodology for the storage ring orbit feedback control. Practically useful for SOFB with assistance of FOFB, the inverse of SVD manipulation is less efficient because a type of consecutive instability noise irreversibly accumulates in the beam trajectory deviation. In contrast, a novel numerical recipe based on topological math can lead to a self-consistent solution, dramatically suppressing ill-posed instability problems. This approach, known as a singularity regularization method, makes it feasible to compute a system-matched de-noising filter. The response matrix in H/V dimensions reflects a global beam dynamics along the storage ring lattices. Matrix refinement manipulatcan can be made to filter out the uncertainty of measurement errors escaping from beam dynamics constraints. Then we believe that algorithm filter can be effective as a software part of FOFB control. Our math STIC (Synthesized Topological Inversion Computation*) appears to be the most reliable inverse computation methodology. Our PLS-2 response matrix will be presented to explain our ORBIT-STIC test.

A 4 GSa/s Bunch Slice Feedback Processor Demonstrator for the SPS | |
|
||
| Intra-bunch instabilities driven by the presence of electron cloud and transverse mode coupled instabilities (TMCI) at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) have been observed with LHC beam, and are an area of concern. To date, efforts to understand and mitigate this effect have included numerical simulations of the instabilities and models of possible feedback control methods. An experimental program in 2011 used a 4 GSa/s excitation system to successfully drive head-tail modes within a single SPS proton bunch. The next step to control intra-bunch instabilities is the development of a 4 GSa/s DSP system to investigate closed loop control on a small number of bunches in the SPS. We present a system architecture and implementation outline for this transverse feedback channel. This processor uses a commercial FPGA board with custom-designed ADC and DAC daughterboards for the wideband input pickup/receiver and kicker signal output stages. The system is reconfigurable to allow evaluation of possible feedback control filter algorithms (FIR, IIR, etc.). This paper describes the design of this system, with a focus on the development of the signal processing hardware. | ||

Bunch Length Measurements of High Brightness Electron Beams in the Single-shot Mode | |
|
||
|
The determination of bunch length in the single-shot mode is critical for many advanced accelerator and light source facilities as ultra-short beams become more ubiquitous. These short beams (sub-ps) typically emit coherent radiation via transition radiation (or synchrotron or edge radiation) in the terahertz (THz) frequency range. The Real-Time interferometer (RTI) is a solid-state, spatial interferometer that incorporates terahertz optics and a novel linear, pyroelectric detector array that generates single-shot interferograms that are directly correlated to the beam bunch length. The device has been tested for coherent sources in the IR, and recently demonstrated at the Fermilab A0 test facility [1]. In this paper, we review the physical concepts, recent results, and potential future applications at both the Brookhaven National Laboratory Accelerator Test Facility and the SLAC National Laboratory FACET facility.

High Resolution Bunch Profile Determination with an X-band Deflecting Cavity | |
|
||
| The determination of the longitudinal profile of high-brightness beams on the ~fs scale is important for many present-day applications that employ ultra-short beams. A direct method to measure the beam profile in the temporal domain utilizes a transverse cavity operating in the zero-crossing mode. Here we present the development and commissioning results of an x-band deflecting cavity that is currently installed at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Accelerator Test Facility. Initial studies and simulations show that a temporal resolution of <10fs is achievable. In addition, we propose a method to enhance this resolution to the sub-fs scale with the addition of a laser-modulator (a high-power laser and an undulator) to impose an angular modulation on the beam. This modulation, in tandem with the transverse cavity, is resolvable on a distant screen; simulations show that temporal resolutions on the sub-fs scale are achievable. | ||

Ultra-short Electron Bunch and X-ray Temporal Diagnostics with an X-band Transverse Deflecting Cavity | |
|
||
|
Funding: This work was supported by Department of Energy Contract No. DE-AC0276SF00515 The technique of streaking an electron bunch with a RF deflecting cavity to measure its bunch length is being applied in a new way at the Linac Coherent Light Source with the goal of measuring the femtosecond temporal profile of the FEL photon beam. A powerful X-band deflecting cavity is being installed downstream of the FEL undulator and the streaked electron beam will be observed at an energy spectrometer screen at the beam dump. The single-shot measurements will reveal which time slices of the streaked beam have contributed to the FEL process by virtue of their greater energy loss and energy spread relative to the non-lasing portions of the electron bunch. Since the diagnostic is located downstream of the undulator it can be operated continuously without interrupting the beam to the users. The resolution of the new X-band system will be compared to the existing S-band RF deflecting diagnostic systems at SLAC and consideration is given to the required RF phase stability tolerances required for acceptable beam jitter on the monitor. Simulation studies show that about 1 fs (rms) time resolution is achievable in the LCLS over a wide range of FEL wavelengths and pulse lengths. |

Beamline Optimisation and Image Processing for sub-ps Streak Camera Bunch Length Measurement | |
|
||
| Low alpha beam lattice at Diamond can generate bunch length as small as 0.6ps. In order to be able to measure reliably such a short bunch, we have been optimising the optical design of the visible Diagnostics beamline, and we have implemented image processing, taking into account the point spread function of the streak camera. The beamline optical design has removed a large chirp of 15ps/150nm bandwidth to 2ps /200nmbandwidth. It has also permit the transport of almost all the available power, increasing the power by a factor 20, yet maintaining the possibility to focus the beam down to less than 20um into the streak camera for the best static streak camera point spread function. The deconvolution technique implemented extends the performance of the streak camera to bunch length measurement much smaller than the 1ps PSF of the streak camera. In this paper we present these two essential features required to measure sub-ps bunched with a streak camera. | ||

First Operation of the Electro optical Sampling Diagnostics of the FERMI@Elettra FEL | |
|
||
| The FERMI @Elettra seeded FEL has demanding synchronization requirements and therefore an accurate knowledge of longitudinal beam properties is of high importance, both for the time profile and time jitter of the electron beam at the entrance of the undulator chain. To fulfill this requirement, an electro optical sampling (EOS) station based on the spatial encoding scheme has been designed and installed in the FEL1 chain of FERMI. The paper describes the design criteria of this system, its specific features and the first operational measurement results obtained. This diagnostics allows for temporal coarse alignment of the seed laser with the electron beam. This feature is described and results are discussed. Finally, the paper provides also the guidelines for future developments foreseen for this system. | ||

Status of the LCLS Experiment Timing System | |
|
||
|
Funding: Work Supported by Department of Energy Contract DE AC03 76SF00515 X-ray / optical laser pump - probe experiments are used for a significant fraction of the scientific work performed at LCLS. The experimental laser systems are locked to the timing of the electron beam through a combination of RF and optical fiber based systems. The remaining ~100 femtosecond RMS jitter of the X-rays relative to the optical laser is measured shot-to-shot by both a RF timing detector, and by direct X-ray to optical cross-correlation, and the result is used to correct the experiment timing to 10s of femtoseconds. We present the present status of the system and plans for future upgrades. |

Intense Broadband Terahertz Radiation from LCLS and FACET at SLAC | |
|
||
| At SLAC both LCLS and FACET produce highly compressed electron bunches well suited to producing. At the LCLS x-ray free-electron laser, 13-GeV bunches of up to 0.35 nC, compressed to 20 fs RMS, generate intense broadband terahertz radiation by coherent transition radiation when passing through a 10-micron-thick beryllium foil 30 m downstream of the undulator. FACET, a user facility for advanced acceleration experiments, runs with 20-GeV, 3-nC bunches compressed to 80 fs. THz is again generated by CTR when the beam passes through a 1-micron titanium foil 10 m upstream of the experimental table. We will report on these sources and on spectral measurements used to find the longitudinal profiles. We are beginning studies of electro-optic and ferro-electric materials using THz and a fs Ti:sapphire laser, and of THz-driven catalysis. A 40-m-long transport line is planned to bring THz from the FACET tunnel to a user hutch. This may be followed by a 100-m line to transport THz to LCLS users in the experimental hall. | ||

Middle-Infrared Prism Spectrometer for Single-Shot Bunch Length Diagnostics at the LCLS | |
|
||
| Modern high-brightness accelerators such as laser plasma wakefield and free-electron lasers continue the drive to ever-shorter bunches. At low-charge (< 20 pC), bunches as short as 10 fs are reported at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). Advanced time-resolved diagnostics approaching the fs-level have been proposed requiring the support of rf-deflectors, modern laser systems, or other complex systems. Though suffering from a loss of phase information, spectral diagnostics remain appealing by comparison as compact, low-cost systems suitable for deployment in beam dynamics studies and operations instrumentation. Progress in mid-IR imaging and detection of the corresponding micrometer-range power spectrum has led to the continuing development of a single-shot, 1.2 - 40 micrometer prism spectrometer for ultra-short bunch length monitoring. In this paper we report further analysis and experimental progress on the spectrometer installation at LCLS. | ||
