Beam Position MonitorsLCLS Lehman ReviewOctober 25, 2006 • BPM Pickup Types • Striplines • Resonant Cavities (in undulator) • Requirements / Specifications • System overview • Status • Schedule
Major Steps • Decide on a Digitizer • Echotek glitches, lockups, lack of progress • Plan B Plan A: • Select 4 channel PAD digitizer • 16-bit, 130 Msample/sec digitizer developed for LLRF • Packaging • Schedule • Still schedule trouble • Plan barely finishes on time • No schedule contingency

Beam Position Monitor System Analog Frontend Version Three
BPM Chassis • Analog Frontend • Digitizer • Embedded IOC • 1u chassis
Beam Test • 100 machine pulses • Effective beam charge 0.35 nC • sy = 2.5 microns
30 400 Resolution vs. Charge • Measured with beam in machine • Tightest machine requirement: 5 micron resolution @ 200 pC • Achieve 4 micron resolution @ 200 pC • Resolution scales like 1/Q for the three measured bunch charges, as expected 5mm @ 200pC
Linearity • Measured IP3 of BPM signal path • found IP3 within a few dB of calculation • Bench test of apparent position vs. amplitude looks good • Test consists of 15 kHz AM of 140 MHz signal • Results impeccable. • But beam test shows big amplitude position modulation • Discovered prototype not built to schematic • Gain distribution wrong Fixed • Took further steps: • Raise amp idle current 90 mA 140 mA • Reduce bandwidth of first filter, raise that of second filter • Narrowband filter before 2nd gain stage
Status • Prototype meets resolution requirement • Stability not well established • Long test looks great • Thermal cycle tests not yet done • Proceeding with first article production • Production boards arrived • First-article loading/testing begun
Calibration • Calibrate through BPM • Via stripline-stripline coupling • Performance not yet verified

BPM Controls Description • User Interface Layer (EPICS, SLC-aware) • VME IOC • Converts raw waveforms into X,Y,TMIT and feeds them (timestamped) to SLC. • Conversion parameters are Pvs • Controls calibration • PAD IOC • Sends raw data upstream (dedicated ethernet) • Diagnostic EPICS PVs
Software Functionality (Day 1) • From SLC-aware IOC • averaged BPM readings • buffered acquisition • EPICS • raw waveforms • conversion params. (raw position -> x,y) • attenuator settings • diagnostics
Functionality (Near Future) • Calibration [some features may be present at day one; untested]. • More sophisticated history buffers [other than SLC 'buffered acq'] • Filtering of beam codes in EPICS • Adjusting to beam charge in 'real-time'
Conclusions • Good performance demonstrated • Calibration not yet demonstrated • “Integrated” operation not yet demonstrated • Schedule critical
