NLC Feedback Operation Kicker Gain Bunch Charge • Measure deflected bunches with BPM and kick other beam to eliminate vertical offsets at IP • Feedback loop assesses intra-bunch performance and maintains correction signal to the kicker • Minimise distance of components from IP to reduce latency
Latency ~ 37 ns Feedback Performance vs. Gain
Luminosity Performance w. Feedback • Lower gains gives better performance at smaller offsets, higher gains give better performance at higher offsets • Vary gain dependent on observed beam conditions
Feedback Performance w./ 2-stage Gain • Gains chosen automatically based on linearisation of beam-beam kick curve. • Gives good luminosity performance over whole offset region.
