  A high bandwidth transverse feedback demonstrator system has been devised within the LARP framework in collaboration with SLAC for the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) Project. The initial system targeted the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN to combat TMCI and electron cloud instabilities induced for bunches with bunch lengths at the 100 MHz scale. It features a very fast digital signal processing system running at up to 4~GS/s and high bandwidth kickers with a frequency reach of ultimately beyond 1~GHz. In recent years, the system has gradually been extended and now includes two stripline kickers for a total power of 1~kW delivering correction signals at frequencies of currently more than 700~MHz. This talk will cover recent studies using this demonstrator system to overcome TMCI limitations in the SPS. We will conclude with future plans and also briefly mention potential applications and requirements for larger machines such as the LHC or the HL-LHC.

WEP2PO001 Upgraded Transverse Feedback for the CERN PS Booster 256

  A new transverse feedback system is being used for the 4 rings of the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB). In addition to transverse instabilities mitigation - within the range of 100 kHz to 100 MHz - the system allows for controlled beam emittance blow-up, machine tune measurement and other optic studies. The system was upgraded in order to multiply by 8 its power (800 W instead of 100 W on each of the 4 kicker electrodes) and in order for its electronic core to employ a digital processing. The transverse feedback adapts automatically to a factor 3 change in the beam revolution period and to any change of the machine tune. It includes an excitation source that combines up to 9 selectable harmonics of the revolution frequency with a selectable amplitude for each. The excitation may be dipolar or quadrupolar. Future possible upgrades will be presented including a setup to tackle half-integer tune values and a digital processing using a fixed clock frequency instead of the revolution frequency clock.
