  1. Breakout Session: Controls Physics Requirements and Technology Choices for LCLS Instrumentation & Controls

  2. Accelerator Physics Driving Controls Design • Precision beams • Low emittance • Short bunch Single pass Every shot different • Compatibility • Other programs • Old controls • Timing distribution • RF Phase control Simultaneous Single shot Read all devices PS control Process/respond in < 1/120th sec. • Feedback • Trajectory • Bunch length • Energy • Applications • Machine tuning

  3. Critical design choices for instrumentation • Power supply control and regulation • Stability and latency time for fast feedback control • Beam position monitor signal processing • Resolution, drift, calibration • Timing distribution • Precision, stability, synchronization, SLC compatibility • RF stabilization • Beam based feedback • Single-shot CSR bunch length monitors

  4. Power supply system requirements • Stability requirements • 10 ppm in the chicane bends • Response time • Low control-system latency for feedback • <1 ms • Commercial components • Reliability

  5. Digital PS controller developed by SLS • PWM digital regulation loop controls AC converter power module • PWM is a digital process already • Avoids unnecessary digital => analog => digital conversion • Only source of drift in an all digital system is ADC reference voltage • High-speed links, minimal latency • Fully developed at SLS with proven performance • Fully integrated into EPICS controls • Now adopted by several large accelerator projects, including Diamond Light Source

  9. Enhancements to the SLS PS Design • Diamond Light Source exploits the following capabilities of the SLS system • Works with any PWM power converter • so use commercial units (OCEM, Bruker) • One controller can drive multiple, load-sharing AC converter power modules • So use multiples of standard units to customize, e.g. 4 x 25 A modules for one 100 A supply • Add an extra module to take up load if one fails • Modules are hot-swappable • Reliability, with minimal downtime from PS

  10. Beam Position Monitoring requirements

  11. Beam Position Monitors • Stripline BPMs in the injector and linac (existing) and in the LTU • Differencing large numbers • Mechanical precision • Fabrication by printing electrodes on ceramic tubes • Drift in electronics • Digital signal processing • Cavity BPMs in the undulator, LTU launch • Signal inherently zero at geometric center • C-band (inexpensive) signal needs to be mixed down in the tunnel

  12. P l/4 Stripline f Digital processing ADC x4 700 MHz Control system RF in l 500 MHz BP filter 119 MHz Clock 24th harmonic C-band cavity Mixer IF ~5 GHz Dipole mode coupler LO sync’ed to RF Stripline versus Cavity BPM Signals • noise (resolution) minimized by removing analog devices in front of ADC that cause attenuation • drift minimized by removing active devices in front of ADC

  13. Simplistic View of Digital BPMs • Is the purely digital approach the best way to go? • Must always maximize signal to noise for best resolution • So minimize any cause of attenuation: couplers, hybrids, active devices etc. • This also eliminates drift which causes offsets • Other approaches also try to do this: e.g. AM to PM conversion with a hybrid and then digitize • Might as well digitize first, eliminate the middle men, and do the conversions digitally • Ultimately left with calibrating the drift in the BPM cables, because ADCs are now very stable.

  14. Linac stripline BPMs • Need to replace old BPM electronics • Commercially available processing units look promising • Beam testing of module (on order) can begin soon http://www.i-tech.si

  15. Analysis of Test Signals in the “Libera” module – S. Smith • Measured signal to noise ratio implies resolution of 7 mm in a 10 mm radius BPM • Identified fixable artifacts in data processing

  16. Pros and Cons of the Libera concept • Complete, integrated commercial package which comes close to requirements • RF processing, digitization, calibration, control software and feedback DSP all in one box • Makes it hard for us get inside and tweak it • Access to fast signals for feedback systems • Difficult to provide timestamps and interrupts in their O/S • Might be better to separate out the functions into different modules

  17. Fabricating a Digital BPM processor out of commercially available modules – Till Straumann • RF filter, local oscillator and mixer stage • VME based ADC board • e.g. Joerger, Echotek handle 8 channels • IOC • Calculates signal amplitude & beam position, tmit. • interfaces to EPICS, • procedures for calibration, • process feedback algorithm

  18. Signal losses in long BPM cables versus placing electronics in the tunnel • We are choosing a high frequency component of the BPM signal to maximize amplitude • But this is rapidly attenuated in long cable runs • Can down-convert next to the BPM with a local oscillator and a mixer • Unacceptable to put electronics in the linac tunnel, • pay for better cables • But may be acceptable to put down-converter electronics in the undulator and LTU tunnels • Highest resolution required there

  19. Timing system requirements • Synchronization of fiducials in low-level RF with distribution of triggers in the control system 360 Hz fiducials phase locked to low level RF 1/360 s Linac 476 MHz Main Drive Line Sector feed Fiducial detector SLC Control System 119 MHz Event Generator 360 Hz Triggers 8.4 ns±10 ps Master Pattern Generator 128-bit word beam codes

Event generator EVG VME module RF master oscillator 476 MHz MDL Divide by 4 Fiducial detector Clock 119 MHz FPGA fiber Event receiver EVR VME module Fan out 8 ch Triggers 3 ps stability fiber Optional vernier module

  21. 3 Levels in the Timing System • “coarse” triggers at 360 Hz with 8.4 ns delay step size and 10 ps jitter • Gated data acquisition (BPMs) • Pulsed devices (klystrons) • Phase lock of the low-level RF 0.05 S-band (50 fs) phase stability • Timing measurement of the pump-probe laser w.r.t. electron beam in the undulator 10 fs resolution

  22. X- X-band LCLS Machine Stability Tolerance Budget From P. Emma: RMS tolerance budget for <12% rms peak-current jitter or <0.1% rms final e− energy jitter. All tolerances are rms levels and the voltage and phase tolerances per klystron for L2 and L3 are Nk larger, assuming uncorrelated errors, where Nk is the number of klystrons per linac. 125 fs tolerance on X-band system
