  KEK LUCX facility* is a linear accelerator devoted to the beam instrumentation R&Ds for present and future accelerator systems and colliders including ILC. According to the ILC TDR**, it is necessary to achieve RF-gun Laser-to-RF&RF-to-RF phase stability of 0.35°(RMS) and amplitude stability of 0.07%(RMS) with implementation of the Digital LLRF feedback based on commercially available FPGA board and digital trigger system. As the first step to achieve ILC stability level at KEK-LUCX facility, present Laser-to-RF&RF-to-RF phase and amplitude jitters were measured using time- and frequency-domain techniques. After that, jitter influence on beam parameters after RF-gun and main solenoid magnet was simulated with ASTRA tracking code*** and results were cross-checked during LUCX facility beam operation. Finally, stable digital trigger system and digital LLRF feedback based on SINAP EVG&EVR and RedPitaya SIGNALlab-250 modules were implemented. This report demonstrates the results of Laser-to-RF&RF-to-RF phase and amplitude jitter measurements cross-checked with ASTRA simulation and real beam parameters measurements before and after LUCX facility stabilization.

  We developed a MicroTCA.4 (MTCA.4) module to generate and distribute trigger timing signals. This module has 16 LVDS inputs and 16 LVDS outputs each on the front panel and the Zone 3 connector, and 8 M-LVDS I/O’s for MTCA.4 backplane. The trigger timing of each output can be precisely adjusted with the interval of 238 MHz or 509 MHz clocks by a 24-bit counter. The timing can also be fine-tuned by ~80 ps tap delay. This module has additional 5 optical transceivers, one for receiving trigger signals from upstream and four for fanouts to downstream. A master module distributes trigger signals, trigger counts, and event data through optical links. Slave modules generate trigger output signals with appropriate delays based on the event data and the local setting for each output channel. The timing jitter was measured to be 40 ps std, which is significantly smaller than the clock period of 238 MHz or 509 MHz. This system can also distribute an alarm signal received by a slave module to take data at a faulty situation. Trigger systems with this module have been utilized in SPring-8, SACLA, and NewSUBARU and stably synchronize various accelerator components with sufficient timing accuracy.

  A rich variety of dielectric, optical, acoustic/piezoelectric, ferromagnetic properties of ferroelectric and multiferroic composite materials open a new perspective for the development of modern accelerators with new principle of electron acceleration and control system. These properties may be controlled by external electric fields. In particular, the production of electric field controlling ultrafast facilities for 0.7-20 GHz RF phase shifting and amplitude modulation where a very short response time of <10 nsec is required . A Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) technology for obtaining ceramic materials, based on (1-x)BiFeO3-xBaTiO3 compositions with various dopant (MgO, MnO, etc.), has been developed. The general parameters of the SHS process (temperature and propagation velocity of the combustion front) are measured. The dependences of microstructure (grain size, density, and porosity), as well as electro physical properties of the sintered samples on compaction and sintering thermodynamic variables, such as the pressing pressure and duration, sintering temperature, sintering duration and atmosphere, heating and cooling rates, are experimentally investigated.

  Shanghai HIgh repetition rate XFEL aNd Extreme light facility (SHINE) is under construction. SHINE requires precise distribution and synchronization of the 1.003086 MHz timing signals over a long distance of about 3.1 km. Two prototype systems were developed, both containing three functions: beam-synchronous trigger signal distribution, random-event trigger signal distribution and data exchange between nodes. The frequency of the beam-synchronous trigger signal can be divided according to the accelerator operation mode. Each output pulse can be configured for different fill modes. A prototype system was designed based on a customized clock frequency point (64.197530 MHz). Another prototype system was designed based on the standard White Rabbit protocol. The DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) and D flip-flops (DFFs) are adopted for RF signal transfer and pulse configuration. The details of the timing system design, laboratory test results will be reported in this paper.
