General Discussion / SINGLE ELECTRON MEASUREMENTS
Last post by Elena Buratin - March 31, 2022, 09:52:18 AMHello,
At ESRF we have been exploring the possibility to do single-electron control and measurement with the use of 4 screens in TL2 and a simple and low-cost Photon Multiplier Tube (PMT) installed in the visible-light laboratory (ID04). We could inject 1-2-3-4-5 electrons the EBS ring. The first direct application was the measure of the beam purity during MDTs. We are going to install a Pico-Harp and a Time-Correlated-Photon-Counter (TCPC), for a bunch-purity measurement that may allow to cover up to 10e-11 dynamic range during User-mode operation (USM).
Find attached the first measurements.
If you have any question or suggestion, please comment.
Elena

Need help? / Re: Strange vertical 50Hz nois...
Last post by Benoît Roche - November 24, 2021, 01:47:49 PMIt is indeed quite puzzling. Also it seems that it is not a pure 50 Hz sine wave perturbation, but rather a square signal with varying duty cycle. This suggests that it is not just a coupling with mains power supply.
Can you try to capture the signal seen by each channels (Va, Vb, Vc, Vd) to see if it is present on all of them, or just two? Does the sum signal also have this behavior?

Need help? / Re: Strange vertical 50Hz nois...
Last post by Laura - November 24, 2021, 01:24:31 PMThe second graph is what we see when both BPM and corrector were out of the FOFB loop: we could still see the noise and, since they were not in the loop, the jumps were not corrected (i guess). If you zoom at the jump you would see the same 50 Hz pattern (as in the third plot, unfortunately I don't have a zoom of this specific graph).
The first plot is how the noise appear usually when the BPM and the corrector are in the loop.
I think this is a noise that somehow enter in the BPM and then the FOFB try to correct and propagate it through the sector.
The last plot is an FFT of the noise. The 50Hz line appears broader.
What I don't understand is that it appears only in vertical... If it was some random noise leaking in the buttons/cables it would be in both planes.
I am quite lost

Last post by Benoît Roche - November 24, 2021, 12:17:09 PMHello Laura, I hope you are doing well.
I don't remember having a 50 Hz noise perturbation that was not a real perturbation on the beam, here.
Nevertheless, can you describe a little more your graphs? In particular we can see jumps on the second graph, it is not clear to me if those are related to the noise you have.

General Discussion / BEAM PHASE MONITOR at ESRF
Last post by Elena Buratin - November 24, 2021, 11:39:14 AMHello,
At ESRF we now re-installed a high quality numeric BEAM PHASE monitor that is achieving very good & useful results.
It is based on a simple Spark-BPM electronics, using the available I and Q buffers in that device.
The resolution is about 1millidegree and it can measure at sampling speeds upto Turn-by-Turn rate (2.8us ESRF)
If you want more information please contact Elena or Kees, or download the available pdf.

Need help? / Strange vertical 50Hz noise in...
Last post by Laura - November 24, 2021, 11:30:26 AMHello,
I am struggling with this since July: we have one BPMs that sees some strange noise only in the vertical direction. The frequency of this noise is 50 Hz.
The problem is that this BPM is in the FOFB loop and the noise is then spread around the whole sector.
We have:
- Checked and changed the associated corrector (but the noise frequency was already telling us that it was not the guilty one)
- Changed the Libera (even if the noise was only in vertical)
These modification provided no results.
Moreover this noise is not always present. We are sure that it is seen by this particular BPM since we removed corrector and BPM from the FOFB loop and we could see the noise in the vertical BPMs data even when it was out from the feedback. The other BPMs of the sector did not show anything.
I can add that this BPM is located in the middle of a standard sector (no IDs or cavities close by).
I also want to stress that this noise is observed only in the vertical direction.
Has it happens to some of you? Do you have some suggestion.
Thanks in advance,
Laura

General Discussion / X-BPM system in EBS
Last post by Elena Buratin - November 04, 2021, 11:49:27 AMHello,
At ESRF we finally put in operation the first two X-BPMs with very good results! Find below some information.
Two units of "optical X-BPM" were installed in October Shutdown in the Front-End modules of 2 different ending-Magnet-Source Beamlines.
These provide us with precious information on the vertical position of the X-ray beam at 23m downstream the source-point.
The concept of this type of X-BPM is 100% invasive, so not compatible with the users taking their X-ray beam when this X-BPM is inserted.
This obviously limits measurement periods of this device to 1 day per week and to moments when the users are not taking their beam.
Nevertheless, it allows us to check (regularly) with high precision if the (vertical) position of the X-ray beam is stable or not.
Both units show excellent results, and further developments on now non-invasive X-BPMs, also in BM-lines,
at the same location in the Front-End, and also only for vertical position, are on-going.

General Discussion / ICT vs Turbo-ICT
Last post by Ewald - October 19, 2021, 10:48:27 AMHello,
I was wondering if somebody has some experience with Turbo-ICTs from Bergoz:
- Anybody who uses a Turbo-ICT in the transfer line? If yes, what are the beam parameters and performances of the device?
- Any experience with direct comparison of ICT and Turbo-ICT under the same conditions?
Thank you,
Friederike
