Switchyard 120 project • Phase I low intensity beams to Meson- Completed 2002 • connection to Main Injector & 800 GeV SY • replace cryo. left bends encl C with conventional magnets • Phase II clean transmission for High Intensity - Not Done • -add quads F2, F3 manholes • -move electrostatic septa from F1 encl. to M01 enclosure • -rework M01 3-way split • -rework (eliminate) “Meson Train” target box/collimators
MTest Beam Layout and Modes Movable downstream 30cm target location Movable upstream 25 cm Al target Meson Test Beam Facility Mtest secondary beamline Proton Mode: 120 GeV protons transmitted through upstream target Pion Mode: 8-66 GeV beam tuned for secondaries from upstream target Low Energy Pion Mode: 1-32 GeV beam tuned for secondaries from downstream target Feb 2007
F3 Manhole Quad Installed Special Thanks to: AD/Mech(Mike Petkus, Chris Ader, Willie Stitts, Paul Gentry, Cliff Foster, John Featherstone, Bob Albrecht, Bob Slazyk), AD/EE(Julius Lentz, Bryan Falconer ) PPD/Alignment, PPD/Mechanical Installation
Improvement with new F3 quads Before MT4/F1 ~40% After MT4/F1 ~80%
More Spill Options Currently operating with a 4 second long slow spill once per minute (6 sec. total, 12 hours/day or 5%) We have in the past changed from 4 sec to 1 sec, but done manually it required a handful of experts one or more shifts • 4 sec or 1 sec Slow spill length change automated- Operations changes event type and few parameters (Denton Morris, Dave Capista, Wally Kissel, Paul Allcorn, Peter Prieto, Charlie Briegel, Chuck Brown) • “Pings” 2ms width slow resonant, ~5 pings per pulse
Changes to Main Injector QXR for Pings Peter Prieto • Added an external 150V 15A Power supply for Pings. • Switch added in QXR Regulator so it can add Ping current on during spill. • Controls hardware added so Ping events ($33) through TCLK. Up to 8 events per spill. • MI-30 test that QXR can extracts beam with a 1 sec cycle and a 4 sec cycle and Pings can be generated during either one. 50 amps with a 2ms duration Need to test QXR driver software and then ready for beam test.
