	W. Blokland ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA
	Funding: ORNL/SNS is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, for the U.S. Department of Energy under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Harp consists of 30 wires for each of the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal planes. The purpose of the harp is to measure the position, profile, and peak density of the high intensity beam coming out of the accumulator ring and going onto the spallation target. The data-acquisition hardware is now over ten years old and many of the electronics parts are obsolete. Occasionally, the electronics must be rebooted to reset the sample-and-hold circuitry. To evaluate options for a new system, the signals from the harp were studied. This paper will describe these studies’ results, the design, and initial results of the new and simpler data-acquisition system..

MOAB3	Commissioning Results of the New BPM Electronics of the ESRF Booster Synchrotron	booster, extraction, injection, controls	24
	M. Cargnelutti I-Tech, Solkan, Slovenia K.B. Scheidt ESRF, Grenoble, France
	The 75 BPM stations of the Booster Synchrotron of the ESRF have been equiped with new RF electronics from December 2014. This new BPM system is based on the commercial Libera-Spark system and now provides beam position data at various output rates, and with a possible time resolution even below that of the orbit-turn time (1 us). All modules are situated inside the Booster tunnel and powered by an Ethernet cable. This implies that the RF cables from the BPM blocks are less then 3 m and only a single trigger signal in daisy chain is sufficient to keep the 75 stations in turn-by-turn phase over the full energy ramping (200 MeV to 6 GeV) time of typically 50 ms. The high sensitivity of the system yields excellent performance at very low beam currents down to 1 0uA. Full results of the system, including the application as a high quality betatron tune monitor, will be presented.

MOPHA050	Online Spill Intensity Monitoring for Improving Extraction Quality at CNAO	electron, proton, ion, extraction	907
	M. Caldara University of Bergamo, Bergamo, Italy J. Bosser, G.M.A. Calvi, L. Lanzavecchia, A. Parravicini, C. Viviani CNAO Foundation, Milan, Italy E. Rojatti UniPV, Pavia, Italy
	The CNAO Foundation is the first Italian center for deep hadrontherapy with Protons and Carbon Ions, performing treatments since September 2011. The extracted beam energy and intensity can vary over a wide range (60-250 MeV for Protons and 120-400 MeV/u for Carbon Ions, 4e6/10¹⁰ pps); the beam intensity uniformity during the slow extraction process is a fundamental requirement for achieving accurate and fast treatments. CNAO developed an online Fast Intensity Monitor (FIM), not perturbing the extracted beam, capable of measuring beam intensity with a bandwidth of 50kHz and a resolution of 1%. It consists of a thin (0.8 μm) metallic foil that emits secondary electrons when traversed by the beam. The electrons are multiplied by a Channeltron device, polarized at high voltage versus ground. The Channeltron output current is amplified and converted in a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal, which is then decoupled and transmitted to the equipment room, where an FPGA implements a servo-spill. The work presents the detector, the floating electronics, the preliminary measurements with beam and the integration in a closed loop on the synchrotron air-core quadrupole obtaining promising results.

MOPTY036	Radiation of a Bunch Moving in the Presence of a Bounded Planar Wire Structure	radiation, vacuum, diagnostics, electromagnetic-fields	1007
	V.V. Vorobev, S.N. Galyamin, A.A. Grigoreva, A.V. Tyukhtin Saint-Petersburg State University, Saint-Petersburg, Russia
	Three-dimensional* and planar periodic structures can be used for non-destructive diagnostics of charged particle bunches. Here we consider the semi-infinite planar structure comprised of thin conducting parallel wires. If the period of the structure is much less than the typical wavelength of the electromagnetic field, then the structure's influence can be described with help of the averaged boundary conditions. We study radiation of a charged particle bunch with small transversal size and arbitrary longitudinal one in two cases: (i) the bunch moves orthogonally to the grid at some distance from the edge and (ii) it moves along the edge of the grid. The problems are solved analytically. In both cases the bunch generates a surface wave which contains the information about the size of the bunch. The shape of the surface waves is similar to the radiation generated in the presence of 3D periodical wire structures, however planar structure is simpler for use in accelerating system. Some typical numerical results for bunches of various shapes are given. * V.V. Vorobev et al., Phys. Rev. Let., 108, 184801 (2012); A.V. Tyukhtin et al., Phys. Rev. ST AB (in press). * M.I.

MOPTY041	Prototype Results with a Complete Beam Loss Monitor System Optimized for Synchrotron Light Sources	electron, detector, injection, impedance	1019
	P. Leban I-Tech, Solkan, Slovenia K.B. Scheidt ESRF, Grenoble, France
	Beam loss monitors in synchrotron light sources are finding an increasing utility in particular with the trend of numerous light sources pushing to lower emittances and thus higher intra-beam scattering, while operating in top-up injection modes and employing in-vacuum undulators in their rings. The development of an optimized electron BeamLoss Monitor aims at fulfilling, in one single system, all possible functionalities and applications like both the measurement of fast-time-resolved losses at injection and the possibility of ultra-sensitive detection of low & slow electron loss level variations. This optimized beam loss monitor system comprises both the acquisition electronics and up to four sensor head per unit. The sensor heads themselves, that can be configured for different sizes or volumes, are based on the detection of the electromagnetic shower resulting from an electron loss through the use of either Cherenkov radiator or gamma scintillator and a photomultiplier tube, all assembled in a single compact housing ready for installation.

WEPMN072	Status and Planned Experiments of the Hiradmat Pulsed Beam Material Test Facility at CERN SPS	experiment, proton, target, operation	3093
	A. Fabich, N. Charitonidis, I. Efthymiopoulos, M. Meddahi CERN, Geneva, Switzerland E. Gianfelice-Wendt Fermilab, Batavia, Illinois, USA
	Funding: EuCARD-2 is co-funded by the partners and the European Commission under Capacities 7th Framework Programme, Grant Agreement 312453. HiRadMat (High Irradiation to Materials) is a facility at CERN designed to provide high-intensity pulsed beams to an irradiation area where material samples as well as accelerator component assemblies (e.g. vacuum windows, shock tests on high power targets, collimators) can be tested. The beam parameters (SPS 440 GeV protons with a pulse energy of up to 3.4 MJ, or alternatively lead/argon ions at the proton equivalent energy) can be tuned to match the needs of each experiment. It is a test area designed to perform single pulse experiments to evaluate the effect of high-intensity pulsed beams on materials in a dedicated environment, excluding long-time irradiation studies. The facility is designed for a maximum number of 10¹⁶ protons per year, in order to limit the activation of the irradiated samples to acceptable levels for human intervention. This paper will demonstrate the possibilities for research using this facility and go through examples of upcoming experiments scheduled in the beam period 2015/2016.

WEPHA015	Beam Tests Using a Wide Band RF System Prototype in the CERN PS Booster	cavity, acceleration, HLRF, booster	3134
	M.M. Paoluzzi, M.E. Angoletta, A. Findlay, M. Haase, M. Jaussi, A.J. Jones, J.C. Molendijk, J. Sanchez-Quesada CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	In the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade project (LIU) and in view of a complete replacement of the existing CERN PS Booster (PSB) RF systems, a small scale, wide band prototype cavity was installed in 2012 in the machine. Following the encouraging tests done using this limited set up, an almost full scale, RF system prototype has been built and installed in the PSB during the Long Shutdown 1 (LS1). This modular, Finemet® loaded system covers the band 0.5 / 4 MHz corresponding to the h=1 and h=2 frequency ranges. It uses solid-state power stages and includes fast RF feedback for beam loading compensation. New dedicated digital low level electronics have been implemented for all loops required for beam acceleration and interfaces with the general PSB control system. It allows using the new equipment at the fundamental and/or second harmonic of the beam revolution frequency as well as operating it in parallel with the existing RF systems. This paper describes the low level and power sections of the project and reports about the achieved results and experience built up so far.

WEPTY042	Pulsed Power Systems for ESS Klystrons	klystron, high-voltage, operation, neutron	3368
	M.P.J. Gaudreau, M.K. Kempkes, I. Roth Diversified Technologies, Inc., Bedford, Massachusetts, USA P.A. Dupire Sigma Phi Electronics, Wissembourg, France J.D. Holzmann Sigmaphi, Vannes, France
	Funding: DE-SC0004254 Under an SBIR from DOE, Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI) has designed and built an advanced, high-voltage solid-state modulator for long pulse klystrons for ESS. In 2014, DTI, in partnership with SigmaPhi Electronics, received two contracts for production and installation of this design for ESS-class modulators, which will be used for the testing and conditioning of ESS klystron tubes and testing of RF components. This modulator design uses a hybrid configuration (solid state switch and pulse transformer) with an advanced switching regulator to maintain a very flat voltage into the klystron over multi-millisecond pulses. This paper will describe the design and testing of these modulators, and the status of their installation. The major development introduced in this design is that the millisecond-long pulses produce a droop voltage of about 10% with a reasonably-sized capacitor bank–much larger than the 1% droop required. To eliminate the droop without a large and expensive capacitor bank, the modulator uses a non-dissipative regulator.

	Funding: Work supported by the United States Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Agency, under contract DE--AC52--06NA25396. The LANSCE RM project has restored the linac to high power capability after the power tube manufacturer could no longer provide triodes that consistently met our high average power requirement. Diacrodes® now supply RF power to two of the four DTL tanks. These tetrodes reuse the existing infrastructure including water-cooling systems, coaxial transmission lines, high voltage power supplies and capacitor banks. The power amplifier system uses a combined pair of LANL-designed cavity amplifiers using the TH628L Diacrode® to produce up to 3.5 MW peak and 420 kW of mean power. Design and prototype testing was completed in 2012, with commercialization following in 2013. The first installation was completed in 2014 and a second installed system is ready to test. The remaining replacement will follow in 2016. Meanwhile, there is a hybrid of old/new amplifiers until the changeover is complete. Operating results of the replacement system are summarized, along with observations from the rapid--paced installation project.

THYC1	Comparison of Beam Diagnostics for 3rd and 4th Generation Ring-based Light Sources	photon, diagnostics, feedback, emittance	3657
	H. Maesaka RIKEN SPring-8 Center, Sayo-cho, Sayo-gun, Hyogo, Japan
	This talk will present the challenges and progress required in beam instrumentation for next generation storage-ring light sources. These light sources aim at small natural emittance of approximately 100 pm rad in order to achieve much higher brightness than the present 3rd generation light sources. This small emittance is realized by a multi-bend lattice, which has a small dynamic aperture of only several mm, a small beam size of approximately 10 microns, etc. Therefore, the beam orbit must be precisely measured by beam position monitors (BPM) for the orbit correction and the beam size should be monitored with less than 10-micron resolution in order to estimate the beam emittance. A bunch-by-bunch feedback system is also required for the suppression of various instabilities coming from narrow beam chamber. In addition, since the stable tune region is small, a real-time tune monitor is demanded for the tune correction. We introduce leading-edge instrumentation techniques to overcome these difficulties, comparing with of 3rd generation light sources.

The TPS is a latest generation of high brightness synchrotron light source and ready for commissioning. It consists of a 150 MeV electron linac, a booster synchrotron, a 3 GeV storage ring, and experimental beam lines. The BPM electronics Libera Brilliance⁺ are adopted for booster and storage ring of Taiwan Photon Source (TPS). The provided BPM data is useful for beam commissioning where it can be used to measure beam position, rough beam intensity along the longitudinal position and also for tune measurement. This report summarizes the efforts on BPM measurement and related diagnostic tools during TPS booster commissioning.

HiRadMat (High Irradiation to Materials) is a facility at CERN designed to provide high-intensity pulsed beams to an irradiation area where material samples as well as accelerator component assemblies (e.g. vacuum windows, shock tests on high power targets, collimators) can be tested. The beam parameters (SPS 440 GeV protons with a pulse energy of up to 3.4 MJ, or alternatively lead/argon ions at the proton equivalent energy) can be tuned to match the needs of each experiment. It is a test area designed to perform single pulse experiments to evaluate the effect of high-intensity pulsed beams on materials in a dedicated environment, excluding long-time irradiation studies. The facility is designed for a maximum number of 10¹⁶ protons per year, in order to limit the activation of the irradiated samples to acceptable levels for human intervention. This paper will demonstrate the possibilities for research using this facility and go through examples of upcoming experiments scheduled in the beam period 2015/2016.

In the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade project (LIU) and in view of a complete replacement of the existing CERN PS Booster (PSB) RF systems, a small scale, wide band prototype cavity was installed in 2012 in the machine. Following the encouraging tests done using this limited set up, an almost full scale, RF system prototype has been built and installed in the PSB during the Long Shutdown 1 (LS1). This modular, Finemet® loaded system covers the band 0.5 / 4 MHz corresponding to the h=1 and h=2 frequency ranges. It uses solid-state power stages and includes fast RF feedback for beam loading compensation. New dedicated digital low level electronics have been implemented for all loops required for beam acceleration and interfaces with the general PSB control system. It allows using the new equipment at the fundamental and/or second harmonic of the beam revolution frequency as well as operating it in parallel with the existing RF systems. This paper describes the low level and power sections of the project and reports about the achieved results and experience built up so far.

Under an SBIR from DOE, Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI) has designed and built an advanced, high-voltage solid-state modulator for long pulse klystrons for ESS. In 2014, DTI, in partnership with SigmaPhi Electronics, received two contracts for production and installation of this design for ESS-class modulators, which will be used for the testing and conditioning of ESS klystron tubes and testing of RF components. This modulator design uses a hybrid configuration (solid state switch and pulse transformer) with an advanced switching regulator to maintain a very flat voltage into the klystron over multi-millisecond pulses. This paper will describe the design and testing of these modulators, and the status of their installation. The major development introduced in this design is that the millisecond-long pulses produce a droop voltage of about 10% with a reasonably-sized capacitor bank–much larger than the 1% droop required. To eliminate the droop without a large and expensive capacitor bank, the modulator uses a non-dissipative regulator.

Funding: Work supported by the United States Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Agency, under contract DE--AC52--06NA25396.
The LANSCE RM project has restored the linac to high power capability after the power tube manufacturer could no longer provide triodes that consistently met our high average power requirement. Diacrodes® now supply RF power to two of the four DTL tanks. These tetrodes reuse the existing infrastructure including water-cooling systems, coaxial transmission lines, high voltage power supplies and capacitor banks. The power amplifier system uses a combined pair of LANL-designed cavity amplifiers using the TH628L Diacrode® to produce up to 3.5 MW peak and 420 kW of mean power. Design and prototype testing was completed in 2012, with commercialization following in 2013. The first installation was completed in 2014 and a second installed system is ready to test. The remaining replacement will follow in 2016. Meanwhile, there is a hybrid of old/new amplifiers until the changeover is complete. Operating results of the replacement system are summarized, along with observations from the rapid--paced installation project.

This talk will present the challenges and progress required in beam instrumentation for next generation storage-ring light sources. These light sources aim at small natural emittance of approximately 100 pm rad in order to achieve much higher brightness than the present 3rd generation light sources. This small emittance is realized by a multi-bend lattice, which has a small dynamic aperture of only several mm, a small beam size of approximately 10 microns, etc. Therefore, the beam orbit must be precisely measured by beam position monitors (BPM) for the orbit correction and the beam size should be monitored with less than 10-micron resolution in order to estimate the beam emittance. A bunch-by-bunch feedback system is also required for the suppression of various instabilities coming from narrow beam chamber. In addition, since the stable tune region is small, a real-time tune monitor is demanded for the tune correction. We introduce leading-edge instrumentation techniques to overcome these difficulties, comparing with of 3rd generation light sources.
