Beta function value at quadrupoles for a circular accelerator can be determined using the relationship between the machine tune and the quadrupole strength. ALBA Storage Ring quadrupoles were measured during manufacturing, to be sure that their performance fitted the specifications. However, measurements were done at a number of currents that are not enough for an accurate determination of the beta function value. In fact, at least 1% error in the calibration of the hysteresis curve slope of the quadrupole is required, and therefore new detailed measurements of the hysteresis cycle are needed. In order to make these measurements, spare quadrupoles existing at ALBA have been used. In this paper we present the results of beta function values determination using this method for ALBA storage ring.

ALBA is a 3GeV synchrotron light source located in Barcelona and operating with users since May 2012. The RF system of the SR is composed of six cavities, each one powered by combining the power of two 80 kW IOTs through a Cavity Combiner (CaCo). At present, there are several RF interlocks per week. The redundancy given by the six cavities makes possible the survival of the beam after one of these trips. In these cases, the cavity has to be recovered with the circulating beam. An autorecovery process has been implemented in the digital LLRF system in order to recover the faulty RF plant after a trip. But these trips also create perturbations to the beam stability. In order to minimize the beam perturbations induced by these RF interlock, an additional feed-forward loop is being implemented. The functionally, main parameters and test results of these new algorithms will be presented.

The measurement of big closed magnetic structures is becoming a challenge of great interest. The main reason is the tendency towards building accelerators with high magnetic fields produced by small gap magnets, as well as the development of cryogenic or superconducting narrow-gap insertion devices. Usual approach, based on side-measurements made with a Hall probe mounted on the tip of a motorized arm based on a long granite bench is no more applicable to such closed structures. So, new concepts and approaches have been developed, mainly based on complex devices that insert a Hall probe inside the magnetic structure maintaining the desired position by close-loop controls. The main problem of these devices is that they are not general-purpose oriented: they need a special vacuum chamber, require a specific geometry of the magnetic structure, or does not provide 3D field-map measurements. We present in this paper a new bench that has been built at ALBA synchrotron that is simple, multi-purpose and can be a general solution for measuring big closed structures.

ALBA is a 3Gev synchrotron light source located in Barcelona and operating with users since May 2012. The ALBA storage ring uses six room temperature cavities; each one fed by two 80kW IOTs amplifiers at 499.654 MHz. An accurate calibration of the RF voltage is required for the right adjustment of the beam synchronous phase. In addition, if the ring accommodates several RF cavities, these may not be optimally phased with respect to each other, complicating the calculation of the total RF voltage. In this paper, the steps to calibrate the accelerating voltage of the SR cavities will be presented and different methodologies to cross-check these calibrations.
