We report on the design and initial testing of the 4th generation Feedback on Nanosecond Timescales (FONT) prototype intra-train beam-based feedback system for beam control and luminosity optimisation at the International Linear Collider (ILC). FONT4 comprises a fast-analogue front-end BPM signal processor, with an FPGA-based digital feedback processor and a fast-risetime kicker-driver amplifier. The system is being designed with a total latency budget (including signal propagation delays) of about 140ns. FONT4 will be deployed at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at KEK, where it will be tested with the electron bunchtrain extracted from the ATF damping ring. The bunches will have a spacing of c. 150ns, chosen to match the ILC design. We report the results of initial beam tests of the system components. We aim to demonstrate feedback, with delay-loop operation, on this ILC-like bunchtrain.

We report on the design and testing of the 3rd generation Feedback On Nanosecond Timescales (FONT) prototype intra-train beam-based feedback system for beam control and luminosity optimisation at the International Linear Collider (ILC). The all-analogue FONT3 electronics was designed to have an ultra-short latency of c. 10ns. We describe the design of the BPM signal processor, feedback circuit and kicker-driver amplifier. We report on deployment of FONT3 at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at KEK, where it was tested with the 56ns-long electron bunchtrain extracted from the ATF damping ring. Feedback, with delay-loop operation, on the beam was demonstrated with a latency close to design. We comment on the applicability of this technology to ILC, as well as future warm-RF based linear colliders, such as CLIC.

The Interaction Point (IP) feedback system is essential for maintaining the luminosity at the International Linear Collider (ILC). It is necessary to demonstrate the performance of the feedback beam position monitor (BPM) in an electron-positron pair background similar to that expected in the ILC interaction region (IR). We have simulated the ILC beam-beam interactions and used a GEANT model of the IR to evaluate the pair and photon flux incident on the BPM, for both the 2 mrad and 20 mrad crossing angle geometries. We present results as a function of the proposed machine parameter schemes, as well as for various system layouts within the IR. We plan to study the degradation of BPM resolution, and the long term survivability, in beam tests at End Station A at SLAC. To simulate the background environment of the ILC a 'spray beam' will be produced, which will scatter from a mechanical mock-up of the forward region of the IR, and irradiate the BPM with realistic flux of secondary pairs. We present the proposed experimental layout and planned beam tests.

The SLAC Linac can deliver to End Station A a high-energy test beam with similar beam parameters as for the International Linear Collider for bunch charge, bunch length and bunch energy spread. ESA beam tests run parasitically with PEP-II with single damped bunches at 10Hz, beam energy of 28.5 GeV and bunch charge of (1.5-2.0)·1010 electrons. A 5-day commissioning run was performed in January 2006, followed by a 2-week run in April. We describe the beamline configuration and beam setup for these runs, and give an overview of the tests being carried out. These tests include studies of collimator wakefields, prototype energy spectrometers, prototype beam position monitors for the ILC Linac, and characterization of beam-induced electro-magnetic interference along the ESA beamline.
