We report on the calibration and use of fast fiber-optic (FO) beam loss monitors (BLMs) in the Advanced Photon Source storage ring (SR). A superconducting undulator prototype (SCU0) has been operating in SR Sector 6 since the beginning of CY2013, and another undulator SCU1 (a 1.1-m length undulator that is three times the length of SCU0) is scheduled for installation in Sector 1 in 2015. The SCU0 main coil often quenches during beam dumps. MARS simulations have shown that relatively small beam loss (<1 nC) can lead to temperature excursions sufficient to cause quenching when the SCU0 windings are near critical current. To characterize local beam losses, high-purity fused-silica FO cables were installed in Sector 6 next to the SCU0 cryostat and in Sector 1 where SCU1 will be installed. These BLMs aid in the search for operating modes that protect the SCU structures from beam-loss-induced quenching. In this paper, we describe the BLM calibration process that included deliberate beam dumps at locations of BLMs. We also compare beam dump events where SCU0 did and did not quench.

The first superconducting undulator (SCU0) at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) has been delivering 80-100 keV photons for user science since January 2013. SCU0 often quenches during beam dumps triggered by the machine protection system (MPS). SCU0 typically recovers quickly after a quench, but SCU1, a second, longer device to be installed in 2015, may take longer to recover. We tested using injection kickers as an abort system to dump the beam away from SCU0 and the planned location of SCU1. An alternate trigger was tested that fires the kickers with MPS. We demonstrated that controlling the beam dump location with kickers can significantly reduce the beam losses at SCU0, as measured by fiber optic (FO) beam loss monitors (BLMs), and can also prevent a quench. A dedicated abort kicker system has been developed based on elegant simulations. A spare injection kicker was modified to produce the required waveform. Injection kicker tests, simulations, and the abort kicker design are described. Demonstration of this strategy in APS has implications for the APS Upgrade, where more SCUs are planned.
