Funding: Work supported by U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. The Advanced Photon Source storage ring has several bunch fill patterns for user operation. In some fill patterns the single-bunch beam charge is as high as 16 mA. We installed a bunch-to-bunch feedback system that aims to overcome high-charge beam instability and reduce the required chromatic correction. Due to the drive strength limitation, we decided to first commission the feedback system in the vertical plane. We present our preliminary results, some of the issues that we have experienced and resolved, and our plan to expand the system to the horizontal plane. |
