MOCYB1 Non-Destructive Vertical Halo Monitor on the ESRF’s 6GeV Electron Beam 2

  The population density along the electron’s beam vertical profile at far distance from the central core (i.e. the far-away tails or “halo”) is now quantitatively measurable by the use of bending magnet X-rays. An available beamport is equipped with two specifically adapted absorbers, an Aluminium UHV window, an X-ray light blocker, an X-ray imager, and a few motorizations. The simple and inexpensive set-up (much resembling that of an X-ray pinhole camera system for emittance measurements in Light Sources, but much shorter in length) allows the recording of images of the electron density profile over the 0.5 to 6mm distance range from the core. Results, obtained under various manipulations on the electron beam to vary either Touchek or residual Gas scattering and thereby the Halo levels, will be presented, to fully demonstrate that this Halo monitor is exploring those realms of the beam where other diagnostics can not reach .

TUPF14 Newly Developed 6mm Buttons for the BPMs in the ESRF Low-Emittance-Ring 346
 
  • K.B. Scheidt
    ESRF, Grenoble, France
 
  For the small beam pipe of the BPMs in the LE-ring a development of 6mm button-UHV-feedthroughs was launched and has resulted in the delivery of a total of 27 prototypes from both the Kyocera and the PMB-ALCEN companies. These buttons are flat, without skirt, with a central pin of Molybdenum ending in a male SMA connector. Among these prototype units are versions with Copper, Steel and Molybdenum material for the button itself, with the aim of assessing possible different heatload issues. All design considerations, that are compatible with a further button reduction to 4mm, will be presented next to issues of costs, mechanical tolerances and feasibility.

TUPF15 First Results with the Prototypes of New BPM Electronics for the Booster of the ESRF 351
 
  • K.B. Scheidt
    ESRF, Grenoble, France
 
  The 25 year old BPM electronics of the ESRF’s Booster (200 MeV to 6 GeV, 300m, 75 BPM stations) are in process of replacement with new modern acquisition electronics. The design and development of this acquisition system was done in collaboration with the Instrumentation Technologies company and has resulted in a commercial product under the name Libera-Spark. It contains RF filtering & amplification electronics in front of 14 bit & 110 MHz ADCs for 4 channels, followed by a (Xilinx ZYNQ) SystemonChip for all processing, that also includes the possibility of single bunch filtering directly on the ADC data. It is housed in a compact and robust module that is fully powered over the Ethernet connection and which facilitates its installation close to the BPM stations thereby avoiding long RF cabling. For simplicity and cost economic reasons this Spark is without PLL and adjustable RF attenuators since not needed for Booster BPM applications, but possible in elaborated versions for other applications. Two prototypes were fully tested with beam and results in terms of resolution & stability were assessed since delivery in January.
