## Flash Mode – Single turn position of the beam around the ring at a specified time/turn. 

- Injection Orbit – First turn position of the beam around the ring.
- Last Turn Orbit – Last turn position of the beam around the ring before  the kicker kicks out the beam.
- Continuous  Mode – Position data taken at 720Hz continuously.
- Closed Orbit Mode – Average of  ~100  background flashes.
- Turn by Turn Mode for bunched beam - Flash data (**at every BPM** **simultaneously**)  for up to 1024 consecutive turns .

**             ****DEFINITIONS**

## Closed Orbit:  

**Closed Orbit: **** **
- To understand where the beam is
- To maximize the aperture, and
- To understand and reduce the feed down effects from the combined function magnets

- We need a time resolution of ~ 10ms (cf 1sec. MI ramp, 50ms Recycler counter wave). Allows to observe orbit in RR several times during the MI ramp and its effect on the RR beam.

## WHAT DO WE NEED TO MEASURE ? – Cont.   

- Injection (First Turn) Orbit / Counter wave bumps
- Extraction (Last Turn) Orbit
- Injection Lattice match
- Fast perturbations of beam for any particular turn

- Flash Orbit  –
- Deviations of the beam from the Closed orbit because of

- We need a trigger time resolution of 132ns (see the time structure slide).

## Beam position at any point as a function of time (Continuous Mode)

- To have a continuous monitor of beam position @720 Hz for events such as bumps and sudden beam losses

- This is the basic data of the BPM system
-  It is used to measure three bumps and aperture scan
-  It is the input to the fast time plot
-  And provides loggable data

## WHAT DO WE NEED TO MEASURE? – Cont.

- To measure the lattice functions of the machine by observing the betatron oscillation caused by a ping.
- To measure non-linear properties of the lattice.
- To observe evolution of unpredictable events such as sudden beam loss or oscillations.
- Study beam dynamics
- Measure Injection Oscillations.

- TURN-BY-TURN MEASUREMENT **SIMULTANEOUSLY **AT EVERY BPM

##      LATTICE MEASUREMENT

- Lattice functions can be measured using TBT or Closed orbit.

- Measure **** & **** lattice function per BPM.
- Get **phase advance** measurement directly from TBT data per BPM (errors are uncorrelated and systematic free)
- Insensitive to the accuracy of kick magnitude.
- Few kick sources

- Measure **phase advance** and **** lattice function per BPM
- Potentially better position resolution (due to averaging)
- Need minimum of two kick sources, beta at the kickers and phase advance between them.
- Systematic errors also include kick strengths & BPM calibration.

**Turn-by-Turn**** **

**Closed Orbit**

## BEAM Intensity (±5%*) at all BPMs for single turn measurement 

- To diagnose position of beam loss (RR does not have an independent BLM system).
- Intensity measurement is also a useful cross check on the validity of the measurements
- Can also be used to diagnose non-functioning BPMs

- BEAM Intensity (±5%*****) at all BPMs for single turn measurement

******* - ****Possibly after calibration**

##            CALIBRATION

**           ****CALIBRATION**

- A calibration system must be provided to allow the required position and intensity precision to be maintained over several years.
- BPM Calibration system is needed for checking and calibrating
- Hardware from the amplifier to the Front end electronics in the service  building, and the
- Software
- BPM calibration software is needed to perform these function and store calibration data in user friendly manner

## BEAMS IN THE RECYCLER

**RECYCLER OPERATIONAL MODES:**
- Protons will be used for setup and tests (except cooling).
- Anti-protons will be used for normal operations.
- Reverse proton injection with 2.5MHz or 7.5MHz time structure for tune-up during normal anti-proton operations (both protons and anti-protons in the machine at the same time).

**We do not require simultaneous measurement of the bunched and the barrier bucketed beam.**

## RECYCLER BARRIER  BUCKET MAP

##         TIME STRUCTURE

**2.5 MHz***** –*** In this mode of operation the RR completes a bucket to bucket transfer of 4, 2.5MHz bunches spaced 396ns apart. The RR can either receive or transmit beam in this configuration. This configuration is used for

- Proton tune-up of the Recycler
- Reverse protons from RR to MI to Accumulator
- Pbar transfers from Accumulator to MI to RR, and RR to MI
- Recycling of Pbars from the Tevatron.

## TIME STRUCTURE – Cont.

**7.5MHz – **This scenario is expected if the Tevatron goes to 132ns bunch spacing mode. In this case the essential purpose remain identical as in 2.5MHz mode.

## TIME STRUCTURE – Cont.

**“****Debunched” beam inside barrier buckets ****or Stored Pbars**
- Barrier pulses in the Recycler are currently 48 RF buckets (906 ns).
- The number and positions of the barriers may vary.
- During injection and extraction 2.5 MHz beam is also present.

- The Fourier spectrum of the beam current varies depending on the positions of the barriers.

## 53 MHz Bunch Structure:

**53 MHz Bunch Structure:**
- The BPM system is NOT required to measure 53 MHz beam in the Recycler.
- If available it might be used for diagnostic purposes (for example, if MI can’t see 2.5 MHz structure, then 53 MHz will be used for transfer line orbit studies, and we will be able to see the beam as it passes through the RR).

**  ****TIME STRUCTURE – Cont.**

- For 53 MHz structure the pre-amps should be able to withstand 40 bunches with current up to 2.5E10/bunch.

## DYNAMIC RANGE

**We need to be able to measure:**
-  From 0.5E10/bunch (2.0E10 total) to 7.5E10/bunch (30E10 total) particles for 2.5MHz transfers.
- From 0.2E10/bunch (2.4E10 total) to 4.0E10/bunch (48E10 total) particles for 7.5MHz transfers.
- From 20E10 to 400E10 particles for debunched stored beam.

- When the stored beam exceeds 400E10 particles we expect to attenuate the signals. The dynamic range of 20 will be adequate.

## 2E10 –  requires 3E10 pbars, a reasonable number to use for tuning and pilot shots, given the expected stacking rate.

- 30E10 – maximum pbar extracted from Accumulator without degrading emittances.
- 20E10 is the lower limit for the stored/debunched beam in barrier buckets.

## MEASUREMENT PRECISION  OVER THE FULL DYNAMIC RANGE

| Absolute - True position relative to the center of the BPM. (Covers long term stability, intensity dependence & spectral dependence.) | 1.00 mm  5% of the actual position.  |
| --- | --- |
| Relative - Difference between two measurements on subsequent turns with stable beam. (Covers short term stability and resolution). | 0.40 mm  |

**This is 3********or ~99% of the measurement should be within these limits.**

##    PRECISION CALCULUS

- Recycler beam pipe radius is 22mm. 1mm beam position error loses ~10 % of the acceptance.

- We use orbit differences to study the lattice. The orbit differences are limited to ~ 3mm to avoid beam losses, and non-linear effects. We need  5% resolution to achieve 10% in 

##        NUMBER of BPMs

- We are proposing to modify a BPM at each half cell. (This is the same algorithm as the Tevatron and the MI.) The modified horizontal BPMs will be at the focusing and the vertical at the de-focusing locations. The RR has 104 half cells/plane with ~ 90phase advance.

- We need 211 BPMs (104 Horizontal & 107  Vertical) in RR, 26 BPMs in the transfer lines, a total of 237 BPMs.
- The RR at present has 422 BPMs. The associated  transfer lines have 26 BPMs.

## NUMBER OF BPMs – Cont.

**Why every half cell: **
- To observe maximum orbit excursions.
- To determine all possible orbit motions unambiguously (to see the sine and cosine terms).
- To verify the operation of the correctors. There is one corrector every half cell in RR.

##         NEW SOFTWARE

- We are trying to minimize the software effort required by adopting the present software as much as possible. The major changes that we need are:
- The capability to read out every BPM on TBT
- A simple to use test of the integrity of the system (a combination exercise of the calibration and a list of non-functioning BPM's)

##                SCHEDULE

- January 2003 shutdown – Take out and modify off-plane pre-amplifiers.
- February to May 2003 – Reinstall modified pre-amplifiers on on-plane channels in the tunnel, as tunnel access schedule permits, and commission the new BPM electronics.
- May 2003 – Use the new system for beam studies at least one month before summer shutdown.

**An improved working BPM system is needed  by 5/2003.**
