DR BPM Upgrade for 2 pm emittance

The original read-out system designed for the single path position measurement has a 10 m resolution.

Upgraded BPM readout system: FNAL•Utilize analog down-conversion and digital signal processing techniques•automatic gain-correction

New functions for optics analysis•Broadband turn-by-turn mode (< 10 µm resolution)

•Narrowband mode with high resolution (~ 100 nm range)

• 160 ms, 500,000 turns after injection

Further investigation for the system completion is continued.

Fast Kicker R&D at ATFThe fast kicker R&D has been one of the missions at ATF for the ILC technology development.

The bunch separation in the ILC damping ring is• 6 ns for a nominal operation (RDR, SB2009),• 3 ns for a possible luminosity upgrade.

ILC fast kicker: should meet these requirements, 0.6 mrad ~20 units1.5 MHz, +-10 kV, Stability <0.1%,

Pulser performance study (2005~2009)It has been done here by measuring the beam oscillation.

Demonstration of a Beam Extraction (2009~)Swap the conventional pulse kicker with the fast kicker but only in this R&D period

Requirement for ATF beam extractionThe fast kicker R&D for a beam extraction had been performed by exchanging the conventional pulse magnet. It was done only when the study was scheduled because its reliability for other R&Ds was not known well.

The beam extraction system of ATF DR has to have a beam kick angle of 5 mrad. It is difficult to realize by a fast kicker itself under the limited space obtained by replacing the conventional pulse magnet.

Therefore, we needed followings.•pulsed orbit bump in DR as much as possible when a beam is extracted, •aux. septum magnet before the present one,•finally, optimize a gap between two electrodes but as large as possible. 8/27

• 27(max 30) bunches with 308 ns spacing

• bunch-by-bunch profile follows that in the DR.

• bunches were extracted from the last bunch to the first bunch.

Pulses Pulses

Kick Angle variation for pulses Stability of each pulses

The jitter ratio for the kick angle was distributed from 1x10-3 to 4x10-3 for each pulse. This value is larger than the single bunch jitter. 19/27

Profile of the kick field and the jitter

Plot shows the beam position at MQM16FF BPM, when scanned the kicker pulse timing. •There is no flattop of the kick field. •The jitter increased at the both side of the peak.

To make stable beam kick, careful timing adjustment of four pulses is needed.

Stable beam extraction was confirmed at the extraction line. The beam reach to the beam dump without any beam loss.

30 bunches of the beam are stored to the DR, stably.

INFN stripline for the study at ATF

• Collaboration of KEK and INFN• Low impedance stripline based on the design for DANE

It was delivered to ATF in March 2011. We will install it in DR for the evaluation of impedance, but not for a beam extraction.

25/27

The stored current decreased gradually when the total current becomes higher. It was recovered after several minutes. We suspect the physical deformation of the strip-line electrode due to the heating by wake or SR. Challenging “small gap to enable the extraction at ATF” may leads this difficulty.This may be an issue “only at ATF”.

Conclusion

The beam extraction by a fast kicker system has been successfully demonstrated at ATF.Further studies on the improvement of the pulser performance and its reliability for long term operation should be continued, but it will not request a beam.

Honestly, we have a difficulty on the fast kicker operation under higher intensity beam. It is due to the design under the limited space for extraction in ATF.

Further, we will proceed a beam test of the low impedance stripline designed and delivered by INFN, Italy in a near future.
