  3. Effect of MKI Pressure… • High instantaneous pressure in the kicker magnet tank, and near the capacitively coupled end of the beam screen, when pulsing the kickers, increases the probability of an electrical breakdown. SIS vacuum threshold for injection => 2.0e-9 mbar (temporarily increased to 2.5e-9 mbar, for 25 ns beam, during October 2011). • MKI SS & ACOND timing stopped for pressure > 5e-9 mbar (does not directly affect injection). • A prolonged pressure increases at the MKI, when pulsing the kickers, also increases the probability of an electrical breakdown. Occasional sparks at end of screen conductors, at bottom LHS. M.J. Barnes

  10. MKI8. 50ns, 24/09/2012 Spark Solenoid: 5A B1 intensity C-D interconnect VGPB.192.5R8.R (SoftStart): B1 circulating VGPB.192.5R8.R Solenoid: 3A B1: 4e13 max charge. Anti-elcoud solenoids initially at 3A. No precursor to breakdown of MKI8D: breakdown at Q5 end (beam screen suspected) … Relatively high pressure close to MKI8s when B1 injected. When solenoid current was increased from 3A to 5A large reduction in pressure in C-D interconnect and thus in MKI8C and MKI8D: increases SIS interlock level for MKI8 solenoids. Significant vacuum activity on VGPB.192.5R8.R during subsequent MKI8 SoftStart. M.J. Barnes

  11. MKI8. 25ns, 10/07/2012 Ecloud solenoid (5A) VGPB.192.5R8.R C-D interconnect MKI8D B2: 2.7e13 max charge. Anti-elcoud solenoids @ 5A. Max pressure on B2 close to MKI8s: 2.4e-8mbar on VGP.192B.5R8.R (Q5 side of MKI8D). Pressures rise during injection on both Q5 side of MKI8D and C-D interconnect: pressure decays (rapidly) before next injection – no spark. M.J. Barnes

  12. MKI8. UFO MD – 50ns. 22/06/2012 Solenoids on interconnects Solenoids by Q4 & Q5 2 Interconnect solenoids OFF Pressure rise in MKI8C-D interconnect 1 Q4 & Q5 solenoids OFF Pressure rise on Q5 side of MKI8D Q5 side of MKI8D MKI8C spark MKI8D MKI8C After switching off interconnect solenoids, pressure in C-D interconnect increases by a factor of ~70 !! Solenoids of Q4 & Q5 also effect MKI8D (and MKI8C) pressure. Spark in MKI8C (probably at end of beam screen) after 11 pulses – [MD pulsing MKIs in beam gap]. To minimize probability of beam screen spark, interlock injection on pressure of (kicked beam?) interconnects – e.g. SIS threshold of 5e-9 mbar. M.J. Barnes

  13. MKI8. 25ns, 24/10/2011 VGPB.192.5R8.R Switching solenoids off results in an increase in pressure, on C-D interconnect, and thus MKI8D by factor of ~3. C-D interconnect MKI8D B2: 9e13 max charge. Anti-elcoud solenoids switched between 0A and 5A. Max pressure on B2 close to MKI8s: 6e-8mbar on VGPB.192.5R8.R (Q5 side of MKI8D). Pressure on VGPB.192.5R8.R not sensitive to Ecloudsolenoid current (in this case)….. Pressure in C-D interconnect, and thus magnet, is sensitive to Ecloud solenoid being on or off. Max. pressure during injection ~6e-9, with several injections > 4e-9 mbar. M.J. Barnes

  14. MKI Vacuum Integral - 2011 • MKI8-D sparked on: • April 17, 2011: @51.3kV and 7800ns – following a period of “high” pressure (50ns beam); • Oct. 25, 2011: @54.3kV and 1200ns (SS) – following a period of pressure of ~9e-9mbar (25ns beam, Anti-ecloud solenoids off). 5x10-7 1x10-8 1x10-8 5x10-7 8 Feb 2011 to 18 Apr 2011 (Spark on 17/04) Pressure.Time Integral: MKI8D: 4.7*10^-7 mbar.hours 1 Sept 2011 to 26 Oct 2011 (Spark on 25/10) Pressure.Time Integral: MKI8D: 2.9*10^-7 mbar.hours 4x10-8 1.2x10-6 4x10-8 1.2x10-6 1 Sept 2011 to 26 Oct 2011 (Spark on 25/10) Pressure.Time Integral: C-D interconnect: 0.7*10^-6 mbar.hours March April Oct. 8 Feb 2011 to 18 Apr 2011 (Spark on 17/04) Pressure.Time Integral: C-D interconnect: 1.1*10^-6 mbar.hours M.J. Barnes

  15. MKI Vacuum Integrals - 2012 • MKI8-D sparked on: • April 9, 2012: @51.3kV and 7800ns – following a period of “high” pressure (50ns beam); • Apr. 15, 2012: @51.3kV and 7800ns (SS). MKI8D: 13/03/2012 to 15/04/2012 M.J. Barnes

  16. MKI Pressure → Sublimation Extended periods of raised pressure de-conditions the MKI magnets; Vacuum-Integral thresholds are set for each tank, based on experience; With an extended period of high pressure, the vacuum integral can relatively quickly reach its threshold (e.g. 2.88e-7mbar.hours/9e-9mbar => 32 hours, or 4.7e-7/14e-9 => 34 hours); MKIs are generally sublimated, to restore good vacuum, at each TS. The vacuum integrals are then RESET to zero; Access is required to sublimate the MKIs. Sublimation of MKI2 – Sept. 2012. M.J. Barnes

  17. Conclusions • High instantaneous pressure in the kicker magnet tank, and near the capacitively coupled end of the beam screen, when pulsing the kickers, increases the probability of an electrical breakdown. • SIS interlocks prevents injection with “high” (>2e-9 mbar) instantaneous pressure in an MKI tank; • SIS interlock will be implemented for “high” (>5e-9 mbar?) instantaneous pressure in the beam-pipes immediately around the MKIs. This must be implemented before the 25ns ns scrubbing run….. Pressure threshold will be adjusted based on experience. • A prolonged pressure increases at the MKI, when pulsing the kickers, also increases the probability of an electrical breakdown. The pressure in the MKI tanks is presently integrated w.r.t. time and SIS interlock thresholds are defined for each integral. • If the integral exceeds the SIS threshold a sublimation should be carried out.. Hence, to minimize de-conditioning of the MKIs and the need for a sublimation, it is strongly recommended that the MKI anti-ecloud solenoids are kept on throughout both normal operation and, in general, during MDs. • Anti-ecloud solenoids around MKIs, and even those close to Q4 & Q5, significantly effect pressure in MKI interconnects and MKIs. • SIS interlock prevents injection if current of solenoids, around MKIs, < threshold. • Ecloud suppression in MKI8C-D interconnect presently requires > 3A (previously 3A was OK). • Have MKI Ecloud solenoids (and maybe those next to Q4 & Q5) ON during the 25ns scrubbing run: • ‘probe’ the effect of changing the coil current; • avoid pushing up the vacuum integral too much.

  20. MKI8D Waveforms During Spark – 24/09/2012 MS Conclusion: given a cable delay of ~125ns between MS and magnet input, breakdown is close to pulse (and injected beam) entrance of MKI8D. TMR ~800ns ~550ns M.J. Barnes

  24. LHC Injection Kicker: Maximum Temperatures During Oct. 2011 • Magnet PT100’s are mounted on ground plates: these plates contact the ground busbar and magnet capacitors; • Ground busbar does not contact ferrites – hence heat conduction to magnet PT100’s is mainly via magnet capacitors. Hence Mag_Up would be expected to measure a higher temperature than Mag_Dn, but …. • Tube_Up temperature > Tube_Dn temperature, maybe because of more cooling at “Dn” end (due to SS tube and “cage” around ferrites??). • The Power (W/m) shown is derived from impedance measurements – measured magnet temperature does not correlate with the power…. Screen conductors capacitively coupled to “ground” (metallization on ceramic tube) NO Capacitor here Screen conductors soldered to “ground” (Ferrites mounted on SS tube) PT100 Tube_Up HV plate ground plate HV plate ground plate ferrite yoke capacitor PT100 Tube_Dn Kicked Beam PT100 Mag_Up PT100 Mag_Dn Beam impedance reduction ferrites (lossy + low-loss) Beam impedance reduction ferrite (lossy + low-loss) TMR connection entrance box connection M.J.
