Funding: Project funded by the European Community under the FP6 "Structuring the European Research Area" program (SIS1002, contract number 515873) SIS100 is a synchrotron that will be built in the scope of the FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) project. High intensity ion beams are required, making it necessary to damp longitudinal coupled and uncoupled bunch oscillations. For this purpose, a closed-loop control system was designed. Its processing part is based on digital signal processors (DSP) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) whose advantage is their adaptability to different problems by software changes. Experiments with a prototype were performed at the existing synchrotron SIS12/18 at GSI concentrating on the damping of longitudinal coupled bunch quadrupole oscillations of the lowest order. The configuration of the electronic system is described and results of the machine development experiments are reported. Finally, an outlook to the application in SIS100 is given. |
