Introduction
SPS UA9 runs are used to test the principle of crystal-assisted collimation system.UA9 apparatus is placed in the LSS5 of the SPS where scintillators and BLMs are used to measure beam losses downstream any key device.

July run overviewThis run was a kick-off of UA9 measurements in 2015. Update wrt the last year are:
• Installation of Piezio-Goniometer Prototype (same as the two installed in LHC)• Installation of CpFM Prototype• New read-out electronics (Wave Catcher) used for the first time to get the scintillators
signals• Special read-out COBRA card for CpFM. This electronics is suited for FFT analysis of
CpFM signals in the range [Hz-GHz]

July MD overview

• SPS has an issue with a quadrupole causing orbit shift -> scans are affected by spikes • Starting from this run BPM are used in online and offline analysis to detect the beam orbit
variation.

• In both cases the alignment of the crystal last less than 15 min.• The angular scan to find Channeling (CH) orientation last more than two hour of operation.

Piezo-Goniometer testPiezo-Goniometer is a prototype developed under the supervision of A. Masi (EN/STI).
• Fundamental test of the hardware for future LHC experiments:– two goniometers are already installed in the LHC– a laboratory test bench device has allowed to develop and test a sophisticated,
optimised control system– the goniometer installed in SPS was used for the first test with the beam during the data
taking in July• The alignment procedure was completed very quickly (less than 15’).• The scan to find the channeling orientation took longer then expected.
– The crystal alignment procedure completely different from the past:

Old case Crystal aligned directly wrt the beam line
New case Crystal aligned wrt tank, and tank is aligned wrt the beam line (as LHC)

Piezo-Goniometer scanpropaedeutic test for angular stability during linear motion
– Crystal in channeling orientation retracted and inserted again of 10 mm– We observed that crystal was still in CH– Next step comparative analysis to evaluate the influence of angular oscillation due to linear
movement before and after system improvement (1st September MD)

ConclusionAchievements The Piezo-Goniometer is reliable enough for standard UA9 operation in
SPS Promising results for LHC test
Next Goal in SPS in view of the LHC test Test the upgrade made to increase the stability of rotational stage during
linear motion Test the reproducibility of the scan, knowing the crystal CH orientation
