Outline • Damage threshold estimate • Test setup pictures, block diagram,… • DSA measurements • Noise floor and DC drift • Effect of temperature • Conclusions from DSA measurements • FPGA measurements • Block diagram • measurement sensitivity • Discussion, conclusions,…
1 uA-sec (6x1012 electrons, or 1uC) used in the following slides
Agilent FFT box Floppy Bergoz Electronics Excel scope FPGA board ethernet Bergoz Electronics LabVIEW signal generator Test Setup Block Diagram
Full span (PCT nominal BW is 10KHz) noise spectrum not 1/f !!!
Comparison of single toroid and difference spectra single toroid No averaging difference of the two toroids
Comparison with Bergoz measurement Bergoz – 5 averages (note log scale)
400Hz BW noise spectra Include spectral shaping in null?
Time/temperature dependence of difference current Out of office ~0.1 nA-sec drift over 160 minutes .01667 uA-sec on 1 minute What happened here??? B field change? 100uA/gauss gives .02 gauss
Zoom on previous slide .0033 uA-sec
Conclusions from DSA Measurements • Toroids meet Bergoz spec in uncontrolled conditions (temperature, magnetic field) of office test environment • Study and optimize proper thermal shielding • Frequent null calibration should not be needed • Slow loss limit should be in the range of 1nA-sec or better • Should be a useful diagnostic • Machine protection • (unprecedented and essential) Halo studies at ~10-6need moveable scrapers? • Need to understand vector averaging (more on this later)

Comments, conclusions • Consider toroid upgrades for RHIC • Present DCCTs are 5uA/rtHz? • Going to 0.1uA/rtHz would give much more sensitive diagnostic for machine tuning - this is important! • Implementation of DI measurement on FPGA board was straightforward ~2 man-weeks of Joe Mead, 1 man-week of Pete Cameron • Paradox? need to understand vector averaging,… see simulation • Where from here? • Basic system functionality and spec demonstrated • I’m on travel for most of the coming month, then Run 8 • Priority shift to BPM electronics • BPM system • Libera demo box due in any day now (after 3 months of trying to get it) • I’m at ITech (Slovenia) next week to work out details of Libera in ERL • Commercial vendor (the major supplier of demo boards) exploring design and fab of COTS FPGA board to our spec (~$1K vs ~$10K or more for Libera box, and much simpler) • Joe Mead is fabbing 4ch fast digitizer mezzanine for ML403 Hold off on further DI development until next spring?
Suggestions for upcoming meeting agendas • Sep 17th – presentation and discussion of DCCT and differential current status • Sep 24th– presentation and discussion of Profile status • Oct 1st – presentation and discussion of BPM status • Oct 8th – Scrapers and collimators
