Antiproton source startup report Will not cover: Lots of shutdown activity completed safely & on time by many people http://www-bdnew.fnal.gov/pbar/documents/August%202004%20shutdown%20update%2011-15-04.pdf Detailed analysis of FY04 performance and FY05 stacking improvements/studies planned http://beamdocs.fnal.gov/DocDB/0014/001485/001/Run2comm120204.pdf Bill Ashmanskas Dec 17, 2004
Startup has gone well so far You are here Shot 3821 Dec 7 Pilot shot to MI Dec 6 First beam Nov 28
Stacking at close to August 2004 levels Red = Aug 1-23 Blue = Dec 9-16
Recent progress • P1,P2,AP1,AP3 corrector strengths re-measured • Software for Debuncher improvements tested out • Running wave; beam prep; component centering • Debuncher transverse gain ramping tuned up • emittances 25-30% smaller at 2 seconds • 4-8 GHz PU + cryo amps cleanly measure cooling progress • Instrumentation: • Forward pbars visible on all D/A SEMs • Forward pbars seen (when bunched) on D/A BPMs • Progress with accumulator flying wires • New AP2 BPM board has recorded its first beam signals • Debuncher barrier bucket AWG tested OK
Scanning Debuncher transverse cooling gains Horizontal emittance vs time in cycle Vertical emittance vs time in cycle
Recent glitches • Dec 4 A:LQ power supply ribbon cable failed • Dec 7 A:ISEP1 power supply card failed • Dec 12 A:R1LCAP incident • Protection implemented against huge bucket areas • Dec 4 & 16: accumulator damper ENI amps failed • Dec 17: no reading on TOR910 during shot setup • Numerous cases of wrong saved settings restored when switching to/from stacking
Upcoming work • Optimize stacktail phasing and gains with beam • Continue to improve Debuncher apertures • Follow through on plans for D/A and AP2 lines • Get more of our stacking diagnostics read out / logged all of the time • Expand the range of tuning/studies that can be done while stacking • Given good knobs and good measurements of progress, operators can do magic • Stack at 18 E10/hr ASAP
