Chan A: Pockels cell open (~270ms) Chan B: macro-pulse width (~5ns- 100ms) Chans C, Dused by BPMs control can be released for manual “local” operation in laser room “internal” triggering used for equip testing when laser not operational
opens laser position control.. left-right defined fromelectron frame NOT looking back at cathode KNOWN “bug”: if power lost to motor control, the control-system zero position will change. (restarts at zero on control system, but motors actually at position as before power cycle)
Viewing the (real) cathode ERLPcon2 desktop “Pylon viewer” New (more reliable) camera, BUT, not yet tested with laser beam on cathode.... Sensitivity to be determined on startup camera synchronised to laser macro bunch train
Viewing the (real) cathode... Looking at scattered light from cathode, though side port on light-box • not enough light with short macro bunch trains • observed profile dependent on scattering flatness of cathode • position is reliable (not dependent on survey, etc) as viewed with old camera.... new colour camera to be used this commissioning period
Viewing the virtual cathode • sensitive enough for monitoring laser with “few-bunch” train lengths • beam position accuracy depenent on survey (can cross-check with real cathode at long bunch trains) from underneath light-box cross-hairfor alignment reference variable attenuator (for camera sensitivity/protection) “virtual cathode” icon on ERLPcon1 desktop no camera control screen shots for now....(will add later) camera synchronised to laser macro bunch train
