BxB feedback system measurements - 2(Coupled bunch mode growth rate measurement) Growth rate fitting of individual coupled bunch mode Ion hump Measured growth rate of coupled bunch instability modes in vertical plane Peaks (arrow locations) are likely from the newly installed IDs. Systematic studies can be done with the technique.

Negligible disturbance to the beam. Gated processing to have global BPM TbT data of diagnostic bunches => lattice characterization Techniques can be used for other machine physics developments FB ON FB OFF Gated Excitation
BxB feedback system measurements - 6(Feedback gain optimization) Excess feedback gain can excite the inter-bunch mode (emittance increase) => balance the coupled bunch instability suppression and high single bunch modes. Analog front end detection sensitivity and noise level. (Ultra low noise desired) Digital feedback loop optimization Chromaticity and per bunch current The effect is mainly in vertical plane due to a flat beam. Horizontal plane is equally important for ultra-low emittance SR. Beam lifetime is affected as well due to emittance changes. Ib: 0.3 - 0.4mA 230mA/1000 bunch Unstable l = ±1, ± 2,… +5/+5 Residual dipole l = 0 0.44mA, 1-bunch +2/+2
BxB feedback system measurements - 7(Longitudinal coupled bunch instability) • Longitudinal CBI was observed at high current operation in 2016. It’s not seen now at 375mA user operation with 3DWs, however, it is still observed with bare lattice. The instability has been confirmed with different measurements: • Button spectrum • Bunch by bunch feedback mode analysis • Streak camera dual sweep image • Bunch centroid motion from FPM scope • Longitudinal BxB feedback tested with stripline as kicker, a dedicated longitudinal kicker (and amplifiers) with higher shunt impedance is desired. The system will be helpful to measure longitudinal mode growth rate even with no CBI observed.

Status of other diagnostic systems (SR) • Current monitors • DCCT works fine at higher current (full range 1A). Max. temp. of sensor ~35 degC @375mA • FPM needs improvement for future hybrid fill patterns => high current single bunch • Development of fill pattern monitor using synchrotron radiations • Position monitors • BPM resolution: <1mm@TBT; ~200nm@FA; 200nm long-term stability (8-hrs, 0.1degC) • Small current and fill pattern dependency (< 5mm at low current; <1mm p-p above 100mA) • Attenuator dependency corrected • Button temp. ~ 29 degC (375mAm 3MV, BPM21-8 button assembly body) • Gated processing and fast glitch detection allow advanced beam measurements and instability registration • Possible to improve the position resolution with new signal processing algorithm • New electronics under development for better long term stability and more FPGA resources • 500MHz digitizer for bunch-by-bunch position measurement • Profile monitors (SLM, XDB-BMA, XDB-3PW) • Visible SLM (Spatial resolution ~60 mm, longitudinal resolution <2ps; air turbulence issue) • XDB-BMA and XDB-3PW work fine, with <1 turn fast profile measurement • Propose to further development the high dynamic range bunch purity monitoring system (Bunch cleaning is integrated with BxB feedback)
FPM measurements with hybrid fill pattern Digitizer close to saturate Single bunch Satellite bunches ~7ps phase transient Possible to measure fill pattern with TCSPC. Counting time has to be balanced between dynamic range and precision. To be integrated in to EPICS controls. X-ray photon diode can have 10-8 dynamic range Digitizers close to saturate with ~1mA per bunch Adding 10dB attenuator solved saturation issue, but makes the 1000-bunch measured current and centroid more noisy. Also, bunches with small current can be below the threshold voltage.
BPM Gated signal processing and applications MethodsX 5 (2018) 626-634 • Gated signal processing improves the TbT resolution, for single bunch (or short bunch train) fills. • Timing alignment of gates is critical. • Gated TbT data with diagnostic bunches has been used for “transparent” lattice characterization/correction, combined with transient excitation function of BxB feedback system. • Simultaneous orbit measurement from two gates can be useful for collective effect studies. Eliminating machine drifts/jitters. BPM gated position measurement has many other applications. • Two gates implemented, more gates possible with new FPGA. Bunch by bunch position measurement will be even more helpful (“1320 gates”) Y’ local bump at ID3
