MOCB02 | A Generic BPM Electronics Platform for European XFEL, SwissFEL and SLS | 11 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Swiss State Secretariat for Education and Research SER PSI is currently developing the 2nd generation of a generic modular electronics platform for linac and storage ring BPMs and other beam diagnostics systems. The first platform, developed in 2004 and based on a generic digital back-end with Xilinx Virtex 2Pro FPGAs, is currently used at PSI for proton accelerator BPMs, resonant stripline BPMs at the SwissFEL test injector facility, and a number of other diagnostics and detector systems. The 2nd platform will be employed e.g. for European XFEL BPMs, a new SLS BPM system, and the SwissFEL BPM system. This paper gives an overview of the architecture, features and applications of the new platform, including interfaces to control, timing and feedback systems. Differences and synergies of the different BPM and non-BPM applications will be discussed. |

MOPA35 | Design Status of the European X-FEL Tranverse Intra Bunch Train Feedback | 133 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by Swiss State Secretariat for Education and Research SER The European X-Ray Free Electron Laser (E-XFEL) will have a fast transverse intra-bunch train feedback (IBFB) system to stabilize the beam position in the SASE undulators. E-XFEL bunch trains consist of up to 2700 bunches with a minimum bunch spacing of 222ns and typ. 10Hz train repetition rate. The IBFB will measure the positions of each bunch in the bunch train, and apply intra-train feedback corrections with fast kickers, in addition to a feed-forward correction for reproducible trajectory perturbations. By achieving a feedback loop latency in the order of one microsecond, the IBFB will allow the beam position to converge quickly to the nominal orbit as required for stable SASE operation. The latest conceptual design of the IBFB and the status of IBFB components will be presented. |

TUPA24 | Design of Cavity BPM Pickups for SwissFEL | 390 |
|
||
SwissFEL is a 0.1nm hard X-ray Free Electron Laser being built at PSI. A photocathode gun, S-band injector and C-band linac provide 2 bunches at 28ns spacing, 10-200pC charge, and 5.8GeV maximum energy. A fast distribution kicker will provide one bunch each to one hard X-ray and one soft X-ray undulator line. For linac and undulators, first prototypes of dual-resonator cavity BPM pickups have been designed and fabricated. The pickups were optimized for low charge and short bunch spacing in the linac. Design considerations, simulation and first test results will be reported. | ||
