Booster Digital DamperStatus & PlansNathan EddyPIP Meeting12/21/11
Motivation • Implement a bunch by bunch digital feedback system • FPGA, ADC, Digital Signal Processing, DAC • Wideband system • Flexibility to modify system as needed • Essentially an R&D project up to now • Demonstrate transverse system operation • Diagnostic capability – tune, studies, etc • Develop plan for longitudinal system
VME Digital Damper Board • Large Stratix II FPGA handles signal processing & interfaces on multiple clock domains • 4 ADC (up to 212MHz) & 4 DAC (up to 636MHz) locked to external RF • Digital I/O – TCLK, MDAT, BSYNC decoders, fanout, diagnostics • Up to 1GB on-board RAM • VME front-end speaks ACNET • Used in Recycler – Transverse Damper, RF Correction, ACBeam Intensity • Used for MI Anti-proton Injection Damper
Diagnostic Capability • Record bunch by bunch data for entire Booster cycle • Position, Intensity, Phase • Measure Booster revolution frequency • 1Hz resolution @1ms
Issues • Horizontal response is not optimal due to pickup & kicker locations • Difficulty exciting beam horizontally after transition • Chromaticity • Power • RF Clock Lock • Causes PLLs for ADC/DAC to relock • Requires re-phasing
The Future • Transverse Damper currently is not needed for operation – driven largely by R&D right now • Continue to gain operational experience with Transverse Damper • Can we lower Chromaticity? • Do we require more power in the horizontal plane? • Investigate options for moving horizontal pickup & kicker and/or adding additional pickups • Ideal scenario is two pickups ~90 degrees apart • Is our current stripline pickup ideal? Use BPMs? • Begin to investigate options for longitudinal damper
Budget Estimates? • Damper Upgrade • Parts purchased for 1GS/s high BW proto-type • 1 year and $5k to produce prototype • Can we go after head/tail effects – kick? • Possibility for new pickups • Pickups & Cables ~$10-20k • Possibility new amplifiers are required • Real dollars ~$100k • Longitudinal Damper (???)
