The transverse feedback system in the Accumulator Ring of the Spallation Neutron Source~(SNS) is intended to damp broadband (≈40-120~MHz), coherent betatron motion due to e-p interaction. The SNS feedback system is based on an analog delay-line model with some signal conditioning and tuning parameters implemented digitally. This system provides a simple setup with two primary knobs, phase and gain, as well as an equalizer. This simplicity comes at the cost of some flexibility normally found in a standard mode-by-mode design, namely mode-by-mode phase, and gain control. In this paper we discuss the design, tuning, evaluation, and operation of the SNS feedback damper, and discuss the tradeoffs implicit in the design of the system.

  An electron scanner has been installed in the accumulator ring of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). The non-destructive device permits turn-by-turn measurements of the horizontal and vertical profiles of the proton beam during accumulation with fine longitudinal resolution. In this study the device is used to identify the source of transverse coupling in the SNS ring and to understand the impact of space charge on the evolution of the coupled beam. We present experimental observations of coupling dependent on tune, injected intensity, and accumulated intensity for a simplified accumulation scenario with no RF and no injection painting. We also investigate the effects of varying the skew quadrupoles and tune for beams with the SNS production-style ring injection and ring RF patterns.
