Scope• Only Measurements and not Feedbacks

• Requirements for commissioning time with beam and for the ramp-up in intensity (including scrubbing)

• A list of the modifications/improvements occurred during LS1 if not presented yet and a break-down of the activities and preparation required for:• operation with pilot bunches• operation with single nominal bunches• operation with trains

BPM commissioning plans


• Assume that the stability of thermalized rack has been assessed

• Assume that FW and SW checks has been intensively done during cold check-out• Calibration, logging process, Post-Mortem

buffers can be tested earlier without beam

• Assume that FIFO mode is operational during Injection tests

• List of beam tests using Pilot bunch• Connectivity tests using kick response and with RF

trimming (6h)• To find possible polarity inversion• To find faulty channels with large errors

BPM – Water cooled racksThermalized Racks (BPM & BLM) consist of: o A temperature controller module that regulates the cool water flow depending on

the cabinet temperature and monitors the status of the alarms. o 3 Alarms (per IP) have been implemented will be sent to TIM at the CCC :

o Inlet water temperature, status of Rack fan , Cabinet temperatureo if the last alarm (T° inside the cabinet) exceeds a safety level, the rack doors will

open automaticallyo Alarms consist in NC (normally closed) switches connected via daisy chaino No direct connection to BIS foreseen for the moment !

BPM – Water cooled rackso One example of the evolution of temperature variations and BPM reading over one

day (13th May 2014) – using calibration signals

o Water-cooled racks will keep the temperature variations within 1°C peak to peak over 22h (compared to 10°C without the rack)

o Tp correction algorithm to be used to correct further the observed drifto RMS noise measured to be between 2-5um depending on the channels

(possibly hitting the stability of our calibration source)

BPM with DOROSo DOROS developed to process BPM signals with <um resolution

o It is optimised foro position resolution, absolute accuracy of centred beam, robustness and simplicity

o It assumes: o bunch-by-bunch is not needed, required bandwidth is in the Hz rangeo larger beam offsets (> 1 mm) not measured with high precision (< 1 µm)

o Prototyped for Collimators BPMs, Demonstrated sub-micrometre resolution at SPS and LHC

BPM with DOROSo Analogue signal conditioning of each BPM electrodes (including beam calibration)

o Diode ORbit (DOR) as a high resolution position measurement

o Diode OScillation (DOS) ≈ BBQ on each BPM o OS needs a synchronous timing (BST - turn clock)

o Possibly 10 less sensitive than BBQ systems : Synchronous detection at two selectable frequencies, assumes beam excitation hopefully only at the 10 micrometre level – using ADT or AC dipole

o Digitalisation using 24-bit ADCs sampling at frev (BST turn clock or local clock)

o FPGA real-time data processingo Allowing measurement of local betatron coupling and betatron phase advance

o Data serialisation and transmission using UDP frames

CDD = Compensated Diode DetectorDPD = Diode Peak DetectorDA = Differential Amplifier

MC = Main ControllerSC = Synchronisation CircuitryEPL = Ethernet Physical Layer

LPF = Low Pass FilterPGA = Programmable Gain AmplifierF = Follower

BPM with DOROSo The essence of one DOROS unit: o Standalone Architecture using 1U 19” boxes (no VME, no operating system)

o 8 orbit ADC channels, 4 oscillation ADC channelso 2 collimators with 4 buttons each

o 2 regular 4-electrode BPMs

o Ethernet (UDP) data transmission implemented on FPGA

DOROS post LS1o DOROS will be installed on

o New TCTP and TCSP collimators (x18) o In parallel to standard BPM electronics

o Q1 strip-line BPMs in IP1,2,5 & 8 (x8)o Q7 strip-line BPMs in IP1 (x4) for coupling measurementso TOTEM’s button BPMs (x8) in IP5o May be few add. channels - on-going discussions between OP-ABP-BI

o Operation with DOROS in 2015o Evaluate the system performance

o In terms of Resolution, Accuracy, Stability, …. (sensitivity to cross-talks between the two beams in directional strip-line)

o Develop its software and operational procedures, i.e. calibration, gain adjustment, BST synchronisation for oscillation, etc….

o Prepare next phase and upgradeo Possibly deploying up to Q7o …

TUNE Systems in 2012

o 3 sets of pick-ups for each beamo Single or dual plane pick-ups

o Single plane pick-ups not optimum

for coupling measurement because

@ different locations

o Used by 4 independent acquisition systems:o FFT1- “On demand” system used to perform measurements requiring changes in the

acquisition settings and beam excitation, like chromaticity measuremento FFT2-“Continuous gated BBQ” and FFT3-“Continuous BBQ” systems used for feedback

and continuous measurements of tune and coupling o The feedback functionality implies that the acquisition settings are fixedo Continuous system sees all bunches – e.g. observing beam instability

o DEV: Development system used for beam studies and kept as a hot spare

TUNE Systems in 2015

o 2 new dual-plane BPLX pickups – one for each beam (optimize functionalities)o Better coupling measurements with both continuous (BBQ & GBBQ) systemso New “gated excitation” option to excite only the bunches (typically 6) seen by the BBQ

if the natural beam excitation does not provide an acceptable S/N ratio

o New Beam Transfer Function (BTF) measurement (derived from the PLL)o It will be first deployed as a MD tool on the DEV system
