Higher beam intensities in particle accelerator are usually prevented by beam instabilities. To cure these instabilities, additional active system must be used besides passive damping. For this purpose, we have developed a distributed low-latency Transverse Feedback System (TFS) using FPGAs. Data acquisition takes place on multiple BPMs with individual FPGAs and ADCs around the accelerator ring. Acquired data is compressed and sent over broadband fiber optic wires to a central unit. For synchronization, data is tagged using timestamps from a reference time, which is distributed by a specially constrained network time protocol to obtain cycle accuracy. The central unit provides an FIR filter for system bandwidth limitation, and an adaptive IIR filter for stable beam signal rejection. Feedback is given using a linear combination of the pre-processed BPM signals. The system provides substantial flexibility, due to the possibility to configure most parameters online. Filters, feedback sources and parameters, compression rate and more can be adapted via Ethernet interface, which also supplies analysis data. First results are shown.

Optics Non-Linear Components Measurement Using BPM Signals

The knowledge of linear and non-linear errors in circular accelerator optics is very crucial for controlling and compensating resonances and their consequent beam losses. This is indispensable, especially for high intensity machines. Fortunately, the relationship between the recorded beam offset signals at the BPMs is a manifestation of the accelerator optics, and can therefore be exploited in the determination of the optics linear and non-linear components. We propose a novel method for estimating lattice non-linear components located in-between the positions of two BPMs by analyzing the beam offset signals of a BPMs triple containing these two BPMs. Depending on the non-linear components in-between the locations of the BPMs triple, the relationship between the beam offsets follows a multivariate polynomial. After calculating the covariance matrix of the polynomial terms, the Generalized Total Least Squares method is used to find the model parameters, and thus the non-linear components. Finally, a bootstrap technique is used to determine confidence intervals of the estimated values. Results for synthetic data are shown.
