## Elements of a Feedback System

**Four Basic components:**
- Pickup
- Signal Processing
- RF Power Amplifier
- Kicker
**Pickup:** Sufficient bandwidth to adequately deliver coherent motion
**Signal Processing:** produce corrective (low-level) signal based on error signal
**RF Amplifier:** amplifies low-level correction signal to produce corrective voltage pulse
**Kicker:** Sufficient bandwidth to cover coherent spectrum

- Kicker

- Pickup

- RF amp

- Signal Processing

- Beam

## Basic Formulae for a Feedback System

- Gives damping rate [turns-1]
-     where 1 is the phase advance between pickup and kicker

**Basic Formulae for a Feedback System**

- For a stripline kicker with plates driven at +/- Vk
- For a pair of striplines driven by a single RF power source via a 180 deg hybrid, the Kicker Sensitivity is
- With

## Basic Formulae, continued

- The Transverse Shunt Impedance is
- For optimal BPM/kicker phase advance,

## Transverse Shunt Impedance (w=d, =0.85, 50, d=15cm)

## Transverse Shunt Impedance (w=d, =0.85, 50, d=15cm)

## Parameters for an e-p feedback system at PSR

- Bandwidth:
- Treat longitudinal slices of the beam as independent bunches
- Ensure sufficient bandwidth to cover coherent spectrum
- Need 50-200 MHz
- Damping time:
- To completely damp instability, we need  200 turns
- To influence instability, and realize some increase in threshold, perhaps 400 turns is sufficient
- Input parameters:
- y = 7 meters
- Xmax = 1mm
- Stripline length = 0.5 m, separation d = 0.10, w/d = 1.0
- 800 MeV

## Damping Time vs. Power at 150 MHz

## Damping Time vs. Frequency at Fixed Power

## Feedback Hardware: Topics of Discussion

- High-bandwidth Pickup (installed...good to 200 MHz?)
- Signal processing
- Digital or Analog?
- Options:
- Build system from scratch (as prototype for SNS?)
- Borrow similar system (SLAC/LBL/INFN system has 250 MHz BW)
- Do we need to correct intensity dependence of signals?
- RF Power Amplifier
- Need to nail-down parameters to know final power requirements
- Options:
- Borrow appropriate amplifier from Byrd/Corlett
- Rent one
- Buy a used one (several on the market)
- Buy a new one
- Stripline Kicker
- Bob has measured some striplines
- Are they right for the job?

- LPNHE Paris

- Noise jets suppression with t42
- Effect of t42 on real jets
-           * **Jet quality cuts efficiencies*
* **	**    * * **Energy lost by good jets*
*	**    * * **Reconstruction efficiency in Monte Carlo*
*	**    * * **Resolution in Monte Carlo*

## 1. Noise jets suppression with t42

- Number of jets/event

- Data sample :
- 	alljets skim from top group = 4JT10 + 4JCCB + HT>100

##  t42 and new seeding go in the same direction

** ****t42 and new seeding go in the same direction**
**                        ****remove fake jets**

- _Effect of new seeding_

- _Effect of t42 algorithm_

- Jets found in both cases

- Jets not found with new seeding

## 2. Effect of t42 on real jets

_*Jet quality cuts efficiencies*_

## Jets properties

**EMF**

**CHF**

**f90**

**n90**

## Efficiencies for each cut individually

- (Statistical error only)

**Total                  ****0.914 ******** 0.008****          ****0.929 ******** 0.008**** **

****** ****Higher efficiency with t42**
****** ****Quality cuts may be reconsidered**** **

## Energy lost by good jets    the same jet is less energetic with t42

- 735 MeV
- difference for
- the same jet
-  need new JES correction

**Data (****alljets skim from top group****) **

**MC (****single top events****) :**

****** ****t42 cuts real energy**

## Reconstruction efficiency in MC (qcd pT20) 

****** ****Efficiency lower with t42 when pT****jet**** ******** 8 GeV.**
** ****Gain a lot of efficiency by lowering the threshold to 6 GeV**
**	****What about noise jets with this new threshold ?**

- Method : match particle jets to calorimeter jets with R 0.5
- 	reco efficiency = pT particle jets found in calo / pT all particle jets

## New jets found with [t42, pTjet  6 GeV] in second bump may also be 

**(reco efficiency higher).**

- New jets found with [t42, pTjet ****** **6 GeV] in second bump may also be
- low pT good jets.
- Even if they are fake, situation better than in the [not42, pTjet ****** **8 GeV] case.

## Energy resolution in MC (qcd pT20) 

- Method : match particle jets to calorimeter jets with R 0.5
- 	  E / E = (E particle jets – E cal jets  ) / E particle jet  distribution in several pT bin
-  	  Fit with a gaussian in each pT bin.

##  resolution better at low energy

** ****resolution better at low energy**
** ****better fit after t42**

**Result**

## Conclusion

- t42 algorithm allows to cut out fake jets without degrading real
- jets reconstruction.
- We propose to set it in killing mode in the reconstruction in p14.04.00

## Surface Crystallization in a Liquid AuSi Alloy

- Periodically ordered gold (yellow) and silicon (blue) atoms within the surface-frozen monolayer of liquid gold-silicon eutectic alloy.

- P. Pershan, Harvard University, O. G. Shpyrko, Argonne National Laboratory (DOE grant DE-FG02-88-ER45379)
- ChemMatCARS NSF CHE 0087817

- X-ray measurements done at the ChemMatCARS synchrotron facility at the Advanced Photon Source reveal a crystalline monolayer at the surface of the eutectic liquid Au82Si18, at temperatures above the alloy’s melting point. Surface-induced atomic layering, the hallmark of liquid metals, is also found below the crystalline monolayer. The layering depth, however, is threefold greater than that of all liquid metals studied to date. The crystallinity of the surface monolayer is notable, considering that AuSi does not form stable bulk crystalline phases at any concentration and temperature and that no crystalline surface phase has been detected thus far in any pure liquid metal or nondilute alloy.

## Workshop Goals

- LARP Mini-Workshop on E-Lens Simulations, BNL
- December 3, 2008
- Alexander Valishev (FNAL)

*BNL - FNAL- LBNL - SLAC*

_**US LHC Accelerator Research Program**_

## Electron Lens for Head-On Compensation at LHC

- Excerpts from J.-P. Koutchouk (CARE-HHH Workshop, 11/25/2008)
- Naively, increasing the bunch current to 2.5 1011, decreasing the emittance by a factor 2 and running with 2 experiments gives L=1035 at Qbb=0.03 with “no further investment”
- We now have a large number of codes with a clear progress in computational methods and speed...
- With the TEV experience, the TEL is not anymore an exotic idea, but a reliable device. It will gain full acceptance when some gain will have been demonstrated in non-linear HO compensation mode. Significant potential for LHC.

## E-Lens in FY09 LARP Beam-Beam Task

- Experimental studies at the Tevatron
- Installation of the Gaussian profile gun is planned
- Will allow to experiment with beam to beam alignment tolerances
- Possibly attempt tune footprint suppression
- Identify operational problems
- Provide data for comparison with simulations
- Theoretical analysis
- Effect of dispersion and chromaticity on RDTs, finite e-beam rigidity
- Numerical simulations
- Develop and validate codes/machine models using existing experimental data
- Provide predictions for RHIC and LHC to support E-Lens installation

- The Goal: Evaluate the possible benefit to LHC (RHIC) luminosity from HO beam-beam compensation.

## Goals of this Workshop

- Identify beam-beam related issues in LHC and RHIC that could be mitigated using e-lenses.
- Assess the group capabilities and establish means of collaboration.
- Establish near and long term simulation program, set priorities and schedule.

## List of Questions

- What are expected scenarios for beam-beam effects at LHC? What we expect the EL act on? How can the luminosity gain from an electron lens be estimated?
- What can we conclude from short-term measures?
- What can we conclude from long-term measures?
- What are the sensitive parameters? What are the insensitive parameters? What has been learned from Tevatron EL operation?
- What effects need to be included in simulations?
- How are LIFETRAC, BBSIM, SixTrack, PlibB different? How are LIFETRAC, BBSIM, SixTrack, PlibB different? How do we benchmark simulations?
- Where do we get enough CPU power for the simulations?
- Do we need to consider the finite electron beam rigidity? How do we treat crossing strong resonances in simulations? Can we calculate resonance driving terms without and with an electron lens?

## Compare this with HST to same color scale

##  full system testing before launch

- Close the loop with full wf sensing and correction system to image 10-10 planet at 2 /D in scene with simulated zodiacal background
- No-brainer to implement for 1.2 m TOPS
- But also achievable and highly desirable even up to 8 m
- System architecture must be designed from the start (now) to allow for 1 g test
- Active primary to counter 1 g a big advantage
- Not doing this has been huge cost driver for JWST – let’s learn!
- Scene generator requires off-axis mirror os same quality and size as telescope primary
- Collimator doesn’t have to have be 10-10 contrast
- its errors corrected along with primary

## First 8.4 m segment for GMT                       cast at Steward Mirror Lab.  25 m f/0.7 parent.  Polishing and figuring over next 2 years. 20 nm rms surface goal (before dm)   Copy will cost $15M 

## Vacuum test configuration for mirrors 1.2-8 m diameter.  The test beam is produced by an off-axis collimator. By moving the spacecraft to one side, the beam is validated against a liquid flat.
