  The Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is a high intensity proton accelerator. The acceleration system consists of eight ferrite loaded cavities. The RCS is the space charge dominant machine and it is mitigated through the bunch factor optimization in the beam commissioning, so the injected beam will occupy a larger bucket size and unavoidable mismatch with the bucket, thus the dipole oscillation is excited. The phase loop scheme is designed to restrict the oscillation in the RF system, but the transmission efficiency is reduced by the phase loop and the bunch factor also increases, so the phase loop scheme is studied. To keep the phase loop but also maintain the transmission efficiency, we optimized the original phase loop scheme, but the beam loss still increases small when the loop on.

  Stochastic cooling is one of the crucial NICA (Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility) subsystems. This system requires fine tuning of the response delay to the kicker, for both longitudinal and transverse stochastic cooling systems. The use of a digital delay line allows to add additional features such as a frequency dependent group velocity correction. To analyse the capabilities of the digital delay unit, a prototype of the device was created and tested. The article presents the characteristics of the prototype, its architecture and principle of operation, test results and estimations for the future developments.

  Employing the local ECR ion source of the FAIR phase 0 ion storage ring CRYRING@ESR, we set up an IT-environment for on-line data processing and applications based on the data available from beam diagnostic instruments and input signals controlling the ion source. As a first proof of principle, we implemented a closed-loop optimization software controller based on bi-objective Genetic Optimization*. As one property for optimization we used the ion beam current measured with a Faraday-cup detector. As second optimization-property we the on-line processed time-resolved signal of the individual ion-source pulses employing the relatively new Matrix-Profile Algorithm** which provides a measure for the shot-by-shot variability of the consecutive pulses. We will report on the status of the data logging framework, the implementation of related software programs and the results of first tests.

  For pump-probe and seeding experiments at free electron lasers, a femtosecond precise bunch arrival time stability is mandatory. To stabilize the arrival times a fast longitudinal intra bunch-train feedback (L-IBFB) using bunch arrival time monitors is applied. The electron bunch energy prior to a bunch compression chicane is modulated by superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities to compensate fast arrival time fluctuations of the subsequent bunches. A broadband normal conducting RF cavity was installed in front of the first bunch compression chicane at FLASH. The L-IBFB uses the normal conducting cavity for small but fast energy corrections together with the SRF cavities for larger and slower corrections. Current measurements show arrival time stabilities of the electron bunches towards 5 fs (rms) at the end of the linac, if the normal conducting cavity acts together with the SRF cavities in the L-IBFB system.

TUPAB304 Preliminary Investigation of the Noises and Updates on Physics Studies of FOFB in HEPS 2197

  High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) is a Fourth-generation storage ring light source in China and is under construction. Noises, such as the ambient mechanical vibration and the power supply ripples of magnets, may induce large orbit motions of electron bunches and hence dramatically degrade the emitted photon beam quality. The effect of noises becomes significant and needs to be considered very carefully, especially when the emittances of the electron beam approach the diffraction limit of x-ray. For the HEPS, the noises are modelled and the total beam orbit motion is evaluated considering the spectral characteristics of all the transformation processes from the errors to the orbit. In this paper, we present the preliminary calculation of the effects of noises in HEPS, and the control of the orbit motion with the FOFB system.

  The superconducting electron linear accelerator ELBE at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf is a versatile light source operated in continuous wave mode. As the demand on the beam stability increases, the improvement of the beam control schemes currently installed at ELBE becomes highly relevant. This improvement can be achieved by an upgrade of the existing digital MicroTCA.4-based LLRF control scheme by beam-based feedback. By presenting both the design and implementation details of the new control scheme this contribution reports the status of the work in progress.

  Free electron laser facilities, such as the European XFEL, make increasingly high demands on the longterm temporal stability and uniformity of the electron bunches, as pump-probe experiments meanwhile aim for timing stabilities of few femtoseconds residual jitter only. For a beam-based feedback control of the linear accelerator, electro-optical bunch arrival-time monitors are deployed, achieving a time resolution better than 3 fs. In a first attempt, we recently demonstrated a beam-based feedback system, reducing the arrival time jitter of the electron bunches to the 10 fs level with stable operation over hours. For pump-probe experiments it is crucial to equally verify this new level of precision in the FEL pulse arrival time with independent methods. In this work, we are discussing first results from examining the facility-wide temporal stability at the European XFEL, with attention to the contributions of various sub-systems and on the different time scales.

THXB05 Inverse Orbit Response Matrix Measurements: A Possible On-Line Tool for Optics Control in Storage Rings 3724

  We propose a novel technique to measure the linear optics in storage rings based on the acquisition of the inverse orbit response matrix (iORM). The iORM consists in the orbit correctors magnets (OCM) strength changes needed to produce a local orbit variation in each beam position monitor (BPM). This measurement can be implemented by introducing sequentially small changes in the BPM offsets and logging the OCM setting variations when the orbit correction is running. Very high precision and accuracy in the OCM set-points is required which poses a considerable challenge. Since the orbit feedback (FOFB) is kept running, the iORM could potentially be acquired in parallel to users storage ring operation. Since the iORM is very linear and local, optics perturbations could be easily diagnosed online. This paper introduces the iORM measurement concept and presents the progress of these studies at ALBA, where the implementation of this technique is limited by hysteresis effects in the OCM and the FOFB performance.

  A new fast orbit feedback (FOFB) hardware architecture has been pursued at Sirius. The fast corrector magnets’ are fed by power supply modules which are placed in the same MicroTCA.4 crates where the BPM digitizers and FOFB controllers are located. Each channel is made of a 3-Watt linear amplifier whose output currents are digitally controlled by the same FPGA where the distributed orbit feedback controller is processed. The amplifier is specified to reach up to 10 kHz small-signal bandwidth on a 3.5 mH inductance magnet and ±1 A full scale, which translates to 30 urad deflection on Sirius’ 3 GeV beam. Such a high level of integration aims at minimizing the overall latency of the FOFB loop while leveraging the crate infrastructure, namely electronics enclosure, DC power, cooling, and hardware management support already provided by the MTCA.4 crates. The fast corrector power supply channels are placed on Rear Transition Modules (RTMs) which are attached to the front AMC FPGA module where the FOFB controller is implemented. This paper will describe the main design concepts and report on the experimental results of the first prototypes.

  High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) is a complex designed at ultra-low emittance. A fast orbit feedback system is proposed to meet the requirement of beam orbit stability at the sub-micron level. In this paper, we present our work on setting up an orbit feedback process combined with noise model, system modeling, and particle tracking in the time domain. RF phase parameter is adjusted together with fast correctors to mitigate the orbit fluctuation due to energy vibration. The preliminary results are shown here. By the following optimization, we hope to provide an effective tool to specify and configure the FOFB system with the simulation.

  TLS storage ring has two sets of working tuning feedback systems: one is used to correct the working tune deviation caused by insertion device U90; another system uses a local trim coil to correct the working tune deviation caused by all insertion devices. This article describes a new working tune feedback system in TLS that can correct the working tune effectively back to the required conditions for operation; the two existing feedback systems do not cause problems. We can both avoid increasing the local radiation dose and decreasing the injection efficiency.
