Abstract

The paper presents single-flight beam diagnostic system for VEPP-2000 injection channels. The system includes two types of beam position monitors: secondary emission monitors and image current monitors. Tuning of the system, calibration of monitors, hardware and software of the diagnostic system are described.

Main goal of the beam diagnostic system is providing lossless beam transport. To solve such problem one needs to tune up as guide fields as focusing fields of transportation channels. First task – trajectory correction – is solved with response matrix inversion by SVD method. Second task – optic function reconstruction – is solved with help of multidimensional fitting of channel magnet structure parameters with minimization mean-square deviation of modelled response matrix from measured one.

The paper presents results of practical experience with automated beam transfer and optic functions tuning of injection channels of VEPP-2000 complex.

Abstract

Due to the extreme sensitivity of vibrating wire monitors (VWMs), it is possible to place these devices outside of an accelerator vacuum chamber in air to detect only very hard x-rays that penetrate the chamber. The VWM response time in air vs. vacuum is reduced substantially due to convective cooling. In this paper, the thermal coupling between the wires of a multi-wire VWM is described. Experiments in which x-ray sources were modeled by DC currents were performed to find the heat coupling coefficients between the wires. Using the assumption that the unknown beam transversal distribution is stable during the scan, a statistical data treatment allows the recovery of source profile from measured wire overheating.

Abstract

The VEPP-4M electron-positron collider is now operating with the KEDR detector for the experiment at the energy area between 1100÷3000 MeV. In these experiments, monitoring of beam coordinates and angles at the interaction point is important for energy stabilization. BPM system of VEPP-4M doesn't provide the reliable information about beam orbit when machine operates as a collider. The diagnostics, described in this paper, is a good supplement for BPM data. The vertical coordinate and angle of the beam can be measured and stabilized at two points that are placed symmetrically relative to the beam interaction point. The precision of the measurements and the collider energy accessible for the diagnostics are discussed.

Abstract

The running cycle of Kurchatov Synchrotron Radiation Source (KSRS) includes the injection of electrons with energy 80 MeV from the linear accelerator in the booster storage ring Siberia-1, the accumulation of a electron current up to 400 mA and, then, electron energy ramping up to 450 MeV with the subsequent extraction of electrons in the main ring, storage ring Siberia-2, and accumulation there up to 300 mA, and at last the energy ramping up to 2.5 GeV. The control system is based on the distributed network of the processors operating technological systems of KSRS. The operational level of control system is realized as a local network of the personal computer.

Instrument of work of the operator is a set of the applied programs realizing the inquiries to the control system. The database describing logic channels of the control, modes of the technological systems and the script of the running cycle of accelerating facilities is developed. Logic channels of the control are a basis for creation of the user interface. The examples of realization of the software used in operative work KSRS are given.
