The problem with the pulse jumpis with 12ns delays has been identified and fixed (it was related to the synchronisation system).

The main issue identified last week is a problem with RI-C2/PS/QP.09, RI-C2/PS/QP.10 and RI-C2/PS/QP.12 which has been addressed after the meeting (see https://elog.lal.in2p3.fr/THOMX/Commissionning/572).

It is important that the laser energy and linac beam charge are checked and optimised every week.

- 300 turns achieved.

- Probably more but limited by libera cut-off frequency.

- Need to measure the injection axis

- Need emittance measurement from the transfer line

- Several measurements are not possible because of lack of progress on the transfer line

See slides attached to the indico page https://indico.ijclab.in2p3.fr/event/8885/

Pb with BPM => visual check of electrodes + hardware swap

Pb with steerer => Need to identify who will do the intervention and when

Nicolas will ask Kevin for support.

Suggestion: Since the magnetic field stability of the bending magnet which is being used to measure the beam energy is still questioned, it is suggested to wind a wire into a small, flat, electric coil and to place it in the magnet gap or close to it so that the field crosses orthogonally the coil plane, and to monitor the voltage across the coil with an oscilloscope (the e- beam being turned off and the bending magnet being powered, of course). Some dimensional calculation would be needed.

Alignement: Slava got the data from Denis. Alignment is close from nominal values.
The beam quality is good enough to start working with the RF cavity. Even with low power in  RF cavity we would like to have a first control of voltage and phase from the control room (Thursday or Friday afternoon).

Some energy instabilities have been observed. Look at correlations (Vincent's measurements) + check that the current operating phase is optimal.

=> Check if position fluctuations are the same with one steerer on, TL/DP/PS.01 off + TL/SST1 and steerer off, TL/DP/PS.01 on + TL/SST2.

Optimum injection trajectory has been recorded on Friday.

 

Next meeting: 7th Novembre

 

 

 

 

 

  38   Mon Nov 7 23:53:29 2022 VK, IC, VM, JH, NDNew SolutionInforesumes Summary of the ring commissioning meeting 
Discussed recent orbit correction of the expanded orbit. 
Need to make run with  cavity detuning from its resonant conditions used in the conditioning. 
 
Discussed measurement of tune, and possible origins of inconsistant/noisy measurements.  Either BPMs signal processing or  weak excitation. Beam size?
Need to do measurements with scope, to see if we can interpret TbT data in post-processing. Will ask Vincent to help with scope and measurements.
 
Need of RF cavity operation to continue ring commissioning.

  42   Mon Jan 9 10:12:40 2023 IC, VK, VM, SC, NDNew SolutionInforesumes Summary of the ring commissioning meeting 

Notes from last week:

  • Beam was very unstable (probably energy instabilities), lot of time was spent tuning the injector.
  • Beam instabilities prevented us from having a good storage.
  • Unable to start the extraction line dipole.

Comments:

  • It seems too early to plan radioprotection checks as:
    • we have not yet been able to store the beam and then extract it in a working extraction line.
    • beam is too unstable.
  • Beam instabilities prevent progress on the ring studies.
  • Beam stability characterisation of the upstream parts of the accelerator are necessary.

 

  43   Mon Jan 16 09:38:16 2023 VK, VM, SC, ND, HGNew SolutionInforesumes Summary of the ring commissioning meeting 

Summary of last week:

- On Thursday the beam energy was very different from usual (magnets current higher 172A for TL; 176A for RI) => made it impossible to re-use previous settings for the ring and to find new settings.

- On bith days, beam was unstable at TL/SST.02 and at the entrance of the ring. Part of the stability (but not enough) was recovered by setting TL/QP.4 and TL/QP5 to the same value.

=> not able to keep the beam in the ring for more than 500us or to inject more than 50pC.

Requirements to discuss on Friday:

- Get the results of the klystron power measurements

- Energy and charge stability

- Establish a working point for the lines.

- Linac alignement

Measurements to be done and documented:

- Stability of dark current (VM on 2/2)

- stability shot to shot and hourly-stability  (laser power, laser position, phase gun-laser [VC is working on it], phase gun-entrance section, phase gun-exit section, charge at the exit of the gun, charge at the exit of the section, energy and charge in the dispersive line)
=> charge stability measurement ND on 2/2 + 9/2.

- Dipole power supplies and dipole field

- RF power stability (Klystron, ...)

- Data alignement (ND on 2/2 + 2/9)

 

 

 

 

  44   Mon Jan 23 09:54:14 2023 VK,IC, SC, VM, NDNew SolutionInforesumes Summary of the ring commissioning meeting 

No beam last week. No beam this week.

Machine recovery on 2/2 => Nicolas may try to tune the machine with students.

Data taking on 9/2 for diags and machine characterization.

Next shift for the ring on Friday 17/2 + Friday 24/2 + Friday 10/3. No beam on 3/3 (winter vacation).

Beam on 9/3 will be dedivcated to BPM training for PERLE.

 

Reminder for the previous ring meeting - Measurements to be done and documented:

- Stability of dark current (VM on 2/2 or 9/2; ND to prepare the measure with ICT+WAC ; IC will prepare measure with scope)

- stability shot to shot and hourly-stability  (laser power, laser position, phase gun-laser [VC is working on it], phase gun-entrance section, phase gun-exit section, charge at the exit of the gun, charge at the exit of the section, energy and charge in the dispersive line)
=> charge stability measurement ND on 2/2 + 9/2.

- Data alignement (ND on 2/2 + 2/9)

Next ring meeting 13/2

 

  47   Mon Feb 20 10:06:36 2023 VM, VK, NDNew SolutionInforesumes Summary of the ring commissioning meeting 

This week: beam on Thursday.

So far we did not see any screenshot of Ring variables check.

Looking at last week's data, shot to shot charge instability seems to be > 15%

We need transverse emittance measurement for the ring shift (Thursday).

  50   Mon Mar 20 10:08:24 2023 IC, VK, VM, JH, NDNew SolutionInforesumes Summary of the ring commissioning meeting 

- Went up to 100kV in the cavity once it was tuned.

- Achieved nice storage stable for 2500 turns and some beam for > 100ms

- Measured the tune: several peaks around 0.35[1] (near the expected value) and one peak not understood at 0.5

- We observed storage at different frequencies spaced by about 10kHz

- Shall we try to return close from the nominal frequency?

 

Current status wrt to X-ray search:

- First we need to be able to reach reproducable storage from day to day

- X-ray searches can be started parasitically when the beam is stored

- Better understanding of the beam will come through measurements (at least until the summer): precise measurements of optics, beam parameters will be possible only with repeatable operations. This is crucial to reach the target parameters of the ring.

 

Next steps:

- This week (Friday afternoon - if beam available): try to reproduce results from last Friday; store, study injection, dispersion

- Next week: Thursday continue work on reproducibility; Friday 31st: scan in frequency starting from nominal frequency at lower voltage.

Report from last week:

- Attempted the strategy suggested by Alex

- Comparison of orbit with RF ON and RF OFF helped understand the "natural" frequency of the ring: 500.33MHz

- Attempts to store at 500.22MHz did not sicceed. Storage at 500.27MHz.

Goals for this week:

- Beam on Thursday and Friday

- Work on BBA (IC, VK, VM) + extraction and BPMs (ND, LS)

- Measure below deformation

Discussion mécanique

- Tous les dipoles ont été alignés par rapport à des surfaces de référence

- Le décalage du centre magnétique par rapport au centre mécanique a été mesuré par Cynthia et pris en compte lors de l'installation

- Difficile de décaler les dipoles de l'IP car la table a été ajoutée après et bloque le déplacement des dipoles.

- Pour déplacer tout le demi-anneau RI-C2 l'un des soufflets (près du septum risque d'être limitant). Très long temps d'approvisoinnement si l'on veut de nouveau soufflets.

- Le plus simple pour Rodolphe: bouger les 4 dipoles d'extremité (RI-C[1-2]DP.0[1,4]): 1 heure de travail (pour un test approximatif). Par contre pour revenir à une position intiale c'est 1/2 journée par dipôle.

- Pour réaligner les dipôles il faut que Denis calcul les nouveaux coordonnés.

Question à vérifier:

- est-ce que l'on a de la marge à l'IP pour déplacer les dipôles vers l'extérieur? [Mesure mardi matin avant 10h]

- quelle est la course possible pour le soufflet près du septum?

- Est-ce qu'il est possible de rattraper le fait que la chambre de RI-C2/DP.04 soit trop courte?

Stratégie:

(1) Mesure de la course possible vers l'extérieur des dipôle de l'IP

(2) Calcul par Denis des nouveux coordonnées de tous les dipôles décalés de 1mm vers l'extérieur radialement

(3) Si possible, décalage des 8 dipôles, sinon décalage de 4 dipôles.

Autre besoin:

- Faire étude sur dipôle de rechange en ajoutant des plaques en acier.

===

Objectifs de la semaine:

- Avancer sur l'orbite à 500.33MHz

- BBA

- Déplacement orbite dans IP (avec CFP)

- Vérifier/améliorer transport amont anneau

- Opérations avec ligne d'extraction
