| PS15 | A New Wirescanner Control Unit | 139 |
|
||
| Wires scanners are standard instruments for beam size measurements in storage rings: A wire is crossing the beam at a given speed and the secondary emission current of the wire and/or the photomultiplier signals produced from Bremsstrahlung or particles scattered at the wire are recorded together with the wire positions. The control unit described here is based on a previous CERN design. It now has additional features: Triggered fast scans (1m/s) with a trigger uncertainty below ±30μs (mechanics + electronics) used at the TTF Linac and at the proton synchrotron DESY III, Slow scans (e.g. 50μm/s) for the TTF Linac, Positioning of the wire within ±3μm for tail scans at the storage rings PETRA and HERA, A 10.5MHz data acquisition rate for bunch-by-bunch acquisitions in the accelerators at DESY. Another important design goal was the compatibility with CERN scanners; it is foreseen to operate them at LHC with the new control unit. First measurements with the new control unit at TTF and HERA will be presented. | ||
