  4. Principle of the measurement The RF-pickup detector measures the power spectrum of the electromagnetic field of the bunch Picked-up using rectangular waveguide connected to the beam pipe, followed by a series of down-converting mixing stages and filters. For a given beam current, the larger the power spectrum amplitude, the shorter the bunch length.

  5. Advantages of the RF-Pickup • Advantages • Non-intercepting / Non destructive • Easy to implement in the beam line • Relatively low cost (compared to streak camera and RF deflector) • Relatively good time resolution (ns)  follow bunch length within the pulse duration • Measure a single bunch or a train of bunches • Relative calibration within measurements • Short comings in the calibration • Beam position sensitive • Sensitive to changes in beam current • At CTF3, the RF deflector and/or a streak camera can provide an excellent cross calibration of device 5/24 A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007

  6. Goal of new RF-pickup installation in CTF3 Goal: Improve on the RF-Pickup installed in CTF2 • Increase maximum mixing frequency reach to max beam frequency signal at 170 GHz sensitivity to bunch length measurements of 0.3ps • (CTF2 the maximum frequency was 90 GHz) • NWU purchased + commissioned D-band waveguide components & mixer • Spectral analysis by single shot FFT analysis from a large bandwidth waveform digitizer • NWU Purchased & commissioned fast Acqiris digitizing card • Design a ceramic/diamond RF window for good vacuum and transmission at high frequency • First design complete, machining in progress  testing to follow C. Martinez et al,CLIC note 2000-020 6/24 A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007

  7. New hardware installed CTF3 Analysis station gallery CT-line, BPR and single WR-28 waveguide to transport the signal to the gallery (~20 m) 4 2 1 • Filters, and waveguide pieces separate the signal from the beam into 4 frequency-band detection stages • Series of 2 down mixing stages at each detection station 3 7/24 A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007

  11. Typical raw and FFT pickup signals Example, LO 6100 MHz, phase MKS15 355 degrees, 06-12-2006 11/24 A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007

  12. Bunch length measurement I, Dec 2006 Data analysed using a self calibration procedure, by means of Chi square minimization. -Check with Hans about error bars Maximum of FFT vs phase MKS15 preliminary 12/24 A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007

  13. Design prototype for diamond window completed. • Brazing Test successful • Machining of window in progress  RF properties and test in machine to follow. 0.5mm Possible improvement of Setup: RF Window @ 90 GHz through Al203λ is effectively ~ 1 mm Although obtain Good signal in December commissioning of RF-pickup ; Al203 window not optimized for good transmission at high frequencies designed a thin (0.5mm) diamond window with lower εr. 14/24 A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007

  14. Summary: Bunch Length detector • RF-pickup has been successfully installed in the CT line in CTF3 • First bunch length measurement made as a function of phase on MKS15! • The Mixer & filter at 157 GHz was tested and works well. • The new acquires data digitizing scope successfully installed and online analysis and DAQ code tested and working. • Self calibration procedure stable Possible improvements to the setup: • Improved RF diamond window for high frequenciesis being machined and brazed and will be installed for future tests. • An additional filter at 140 GHz, can provide additional flexibility in the detection of high frequency mixing stage 15/24 A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007

  15. Beam Loss monitoring • Full setup since 2003 • 3 detectors (SICs) installed per girder, with a cross calibration with Faraday cup • Goal: To provide additional information along the girder that the BPM can’t provide • Electronics with 2 gain ranges (x10 difference) 16/24 A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007

  16. Reminder Beam Loss Monitoring on Linac • Beam Loss Monitoring setup of Small Ionization Chambers and Faraday cups provides additional monitoring information complementary to BPM’s • Used at CTF3 since commissioning in 2003 (see talk 2004 collaboration meeting) • Setup sensitive to ‰ of the beam loss along the girder (sensitivity increases with a loss of timing resolution) • Revisited system over the Fall 2006. • Modify electronics - Increased input impedance to gain additional sensitivity • Tested a Pre-Amplifier directly mounted onto the chamber was tested (supplied by Jim Crisp at Fermilab Beams division  lot of experience building electronics for beam current monitors). • Assembled and tested Cherenkov fiber coupled to a Photomultiplier 17/24 A. Dabrowski, November 24 2004

  17. Typical signals: Calibration Plateau Calibration Plateau for chambers (SIC) filled with He or Ar gas taken in the CTF3 machine, normalized to the Faraday cup Time (ns) Linear response between Chamber and Faraday cup Calibration Factor ~ 6 depending on beam loss shower shape Bias Voltage (V) Length of Plateau greater for Ar as expected. He breaks down at > 450 V 18/24 A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007

  18. Increased sensitivity in electronics BLM Girder 6 : - SIC Argon – amplifier 2k - Faraday cup Despite very low/NO losses measured by BPM, chambers provide good signals 19/24 A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007

  19. Testing of Pre-amplifier BLM Girder 5 : - SIC Argon – Fermilab pre-amplifier - Faraday cup Shielded Pre-amplifier mounted directly to chamber improves sensitivity: additional modification to be made in the future to decrease decay time of the amplifier. Principle is encouraging 20/24 A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007

  20. Test Cherenkov fiber coupled to a Photomultiplier • BLM Girder 7: • Cherenkov fiber – PMT- no amplifier • BLM Girder 6: • SIC He (2k amp) – 1st Cavity • SIC Ar (2k amp) – QUAD • Faraday Cup (2k amp) - Quad • Cherenkov fiber coupled to a PMT provides flexible and fast response BLM. • Fused silica fiber supposed to be radiation hard up to 1Grad 21/24 A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007

  21. Conclusions Beam Loss Monitoring: • Chambers are sensitive to beam loss along the girder …. Additional monitoring complementary to BPM has been used since 2003 • In regions of very low loss, additional sensitivity can be obtained with loss of time resolution • A pre-amplifier connected directly to the chamber tested and provides additional sensitivity • A Cherenkov fiber when coupled to a PMT, can also be used as a beam loss detector. Bunch Length Measurement: • Successful commissioning of the full detector in December 2006 Possible minor improvements to setup in future: • Modifications to RF-window • Additional filter at 140 GHz implemented in setup 22/24 A.
