TUPOST005	RF Voltage Calibration Using Phase Space Tomography in the CERN SPS	841

	Voltage calibration using longitudinal phase-space tomography is a purely beam-based technique to determine the effective RF voltage experienced by a bunch. It was applied in the SPS, separately to each of its six accelerating travelling wave structures. A low spread in voltage errors was obtained by carefully optimizing the number of acquired bunch profiles. The technique moreover provided the relative phases of the cavities, which allowed their alignment to be checked. Pairs of cavities were measured as well to validate the consistency of the single-cavity voltages. The beam measurements were repeated after several months to confirm the reproducibility of the results. Longitudinal beam dynamics simulations, including the full SPS impedance model, were performed as a benchmark. The aim was to verify that the effect of the cable transfer-function on the bunch profiles can be neglected, as well as collective effects and small errors in the accelerator parameters.

TUPOST006	Frequency-Dependent RF Voltage Calibration Using Longitudinal Tomography in the CERN PSB	845
	D. Quartullo, S.C.P. Albright, H. Damerau CERN, Meyrin, Switzerland
	Longitudinal phase-space tomography reconstructs the phase-space distribution from a set of bunch profiles and the accelerator parameters, which includes the RF voltage. The quality of the reconstruction depends on the accuracy to which these parameters are known. Therefore, it can be used for beam-based RF voltage calibration by analysing oscillations of a mismatched bunch. The actual RF voltage may be different from the programmed one due to uncertainties of the electrical gap voltage measurements and intensity effects. Tomography-based RF voltage calibration was systematically performed with low-intensity bunches in all four rings of the PS Booster (PSB) at injection and extraction energy. For each of the three RF cavities present in a given ring, the calibration was performed separately to extract the voltage errors while avoiding any influence of phase misalignments. The number of synchrotron oscillation periods available for the voltage calibration was constrained by the short duration of the PSB flat-bottom and top. Longitudinal beam dynamics simulations using the full PSB impedance model were performed to benchmark the results provided by the calibrations.

TUPOST042	Towards the Automatic Setup of Longitudinal Emittance Blow-Up in the CERN SPS	949
	N. Bruchon, I. Karpov, N. Madysa, G. Papotti, D. Quartullo, C. Zisou CERN, Meyrin, Switzerland C. Zisou AUTH, Thessaloniki, Greece
	Controlled longitudinal emittance blow-up in the CERN SPS is necessary to stabilize high-intensity beams for the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) by increasing the synchrotron frequency spread. The process consists of injecting bandwidth-limited noise into the main RF phase loop to diffuse particles in the core of the bunch. The setting up of the noise parameters, such as frequency band and amplitude, is a non-trivial and time-consuming procedure that has been performed manually so far. In this preliminary study, several optimization methods are investigated to set up the noise parameters automatically. We apply the CERN Common Optimization Interfaces as a generic framework for the optimization algorithm. Single-bunch profiles generated with the BLonD simulation code have been used to investigate the optimization algorithms offline. Furthermore, analysis has been carried out on measured bunch profiles in the SPS to define the problem constraints and properly formulate the objective function.

WEPOMS009	Simulation Studies of Longitudinal Stability for High-Intensity LHC-Type Beams in the CERN SPS	2249
	D. Quartullo, L. Intelisano, I. Karpov, G. Papotti CERN, Meyrin, Switzerland
	Beams in the SPS for the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) must be stabilized in the longitudinal plane up to an intensity of 2.4·10¹¹ protons per bunch. The fourth harmonic RF system increases Landau damping, and controlled longitudinal emittance blow-up is applied to cope with coupled-bunch instabilities along the ramp and at flat-top. Longitudinal multi-bunch beam dynamics simulations of the SPS cycle were performed starting from realistic bunch distributions, as injected from the PS. The full SPS impedance model was included, as well as the effect of low-level RF (LLRF) feedback for beam-loading compensation. A realistic model of the beam-based LLRF loops was used for the particle tracking studies. Controlled longitudinal emittance blow-up was included by generating bandwidth-limited RF phase noise and by injecting it into the beam phase-loop input, exactly as in hardware. Due to the stringent constraints on particle losses and extracted bunch lengths, particular attention was paid to monitoring these parameters in the simulations, and to determining the best configuration for a stable acceleration of the beam.
