2. Beam Instrumentation at Fermilab AD-Instrumentation Department activities
~30 techs, EEs and accelerator physicists
Operation, maintenance, improvements on RunII, NuMI, SY (M-Test) and many other beam diagnostics (>1000 units).
Support upcoming projects and facilities, NoVA, proton improvement plan, HINS (MDB), ILC-TA (NML), mu2e, g-2,…
R&D for future projects and facilities, e.g. Project X, still a little bit ILC, various collaboration activities.
Good foundation for standard beam instruments
Read-out systems applying digital signal processing techniques for beam intensity and orbit (BPM) monitoring
Integrated calibration techniques.
Many improvements on beam profile monitors, e.g. SEMs.
3. The High Beam Power Challenge Fermilabs intensity frontier future requires
High beam power, today ~300 kW (NuMI), soon ~700 kW (NOvA), in the future > 2 MW (Project X).
Non or minimum invasive beam diagnostics detectors with low residual losses.
Possible solutions:
It is simple (solved) for electromagnetic beam detectors (toroids, WCM, BPM).
Not trivial for transverse beam profile (emittance) measurements!
Flying or scanning wires, SEM mulitwires: invasive.
Ionization profile monitor (IPM) based on residual gas.
Laser wire photo-detachment (requires H- beams)
Electron-beam scanner.
