MOPMR057	Measurements using Button BPM SUM Signal	377
	W.X. Cheng, K. Ha, J. Mead, O. Singh, G.M. Wang BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York, USA
	Modern digital BPM detectors measure not only the beam positions, four buttons SUM signal can be very helpful for machine developments and operations. At NSLS-II, BPM SUM signal has been used from commissioning stage, to investigate localized beam losses. During top-off operation, precise beam lifetime measurement within relative short period of time becomes important. With many BPMs along the ring, BPM SUM can be a much more accurate tool to measure the beam current and lifetime. BPM SUM signal shall be proportional to beam current, and it may depends on button sizes and BPM chamber geometry, cable attenuations, electronics attenuations, beam position, bunch lengths, fill pattern etc. Experience of BPM SUM signals measurements will be presented.

MOPMR058	Precise Beam Orbit Response Measurement with AC Excitation	380
	W.X. Cheng, K. Ha, Y. Tian, L.-H. Yu BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York, USA
	Fast correctors at NSLS-II storage ring has broad frequency response (~1kHz bandwidth), together with high accurate BPM 10kHz data makes the broadband fast orbit feedback realistic. With integrated NCO, beam orbit response can be precisely measured while driving the electron beam with AC current. Compared to the normal DC orbit response measurement, this method eliminates the measurement errors due to orbit drift. Accurately measured orbit response matrix can be used to characterize the machine lattice. Fast corrector frequency responses have been measured using the same method, by scanning the excitation frequency. This information can be used to optimize the fast orbit feedback control loop.

TUPOR033	Experimental Study of Single Bunch Instabilities at NSLS-II Storage Ring	1738
	W.X. Cheng, B. Bacha, G. Bassi, A. Blednykh, B. Podobedov, O. Singh, V. Smalyuk BNL, Upton, New York, USA
	Single bunch instabilities have been observed since the early stage of NSLS-II storage ring commissioning. After installing the super-conducting cavity, the single bunch instability threshold current was similar at 0.7mA. The instability was eventually determined to be due to transverse mode coupling. Microwave instability has been characterized using streak camera bunch profile, horizontal beam sizes at dispersion location and beam spectrums. Microwave instability threshold current dependency on bunch lengths and IUV gaps has been studied. Most recent experimental results will be presented in this paper.

WEOBB01	Single Micron Single-Bunch Turn-by-Turn BPM Resolution Achieved at NSLS-II	2095
	B. Podobedov, W.X. Cheng, K. Ha, Y. Hidaka, J. Mead, O. Singh, K. Vetter BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York, USA
	NSLS-II state-of-the-art BPMs provide a single micron turn-by-turn BPM resolution for any bunch train of reasonable intensity. For certain beam dynamics studies a similar, or even better, resolution is desired for a single-, or a few-bunch fill, which is not yet available with our standard BPM signal processing. This paper describes our experience with more advanced BPM ADC signal processing which allowed us to significantly improve turn-by-turn BPM resolution in single bunch mode down to the level of about one micron at ~1 nC/bunch. We also present the examples of machine studies that benefit from this BPM performance enhancement.

The fast machine protection consists of an active interlock system (AIS), beam position monitor (BPM), cell controller (CCs) and front-end (FE) systems. The AIS measures the electron beam envelop and the dumps the beam by turning off RF system, and then the diagnostic system provides the post-mortem data for an analysis of which system caused the beam dump and the machine status analysis. NSLS-II post-mortem system involves AIS, CCs, BPMs, radio frequency system (RFs), power supply systems (PSs) as well as the timing system. This paper describes the AIS architecture and PM performance for NSLS-II safe operations.
