April 22, 2005 (M. Palmer): Installation of Optics Rail

Installed rail for bunch-by-bunch optics at 23W (e- synchrotron light box), MAP/Riggers.

Rail is described in LEPP drawing 6048-133. Drilled 2 holes in optics box base plate (for 2 rail slots nearest beam-splitter mount) which we threaded for 1/4-20 screws. Intention was to use cap-head screws going down through rail and screwing into base. Unfortunately hand-drilling could not give good enough alignment. Ended up opening slots by +/-0.040", making holes in base-plate thru holes, placing nuts in top of slots, and screwing up from the bottom. Ultimately able to install and align rail to existing CCD optics rail by end of the access, MAP/MJS.

Installed uncoated pellicle beam-splitter, 500+/-25 nm filter, cylindrical lense. Installed R5600 PMT approximately 8.5" from lense. MAP

April 25, 2005 (M. Palmer): Alignment and Response Check of Bunch-by-Bunch Optics Line

Starting Mirror Positions:

• CSRSYLTE CON 1 (horizontal tilt): 721 CU
• CSRSYLTE CON 2 (vertical tilt): 487 CU
• x position (TV monitor reticle): +1.0 mm
• y position (TV monitor reticle): +3.0 mm

NOTE: Discover that moving mirror horizontally in this region has a localized vertical "jump" near centered beam (this is not a coupling between the 2 dimensions but appears to be a bad spot in the mirror actuator)

After some initial scanning and slowly raising the PMT HV, find that can see bunches fairly near the initial settings. Maximum signal is 25 mV with -700V on PMT.

Scans:

CSRSYLTE CON 1	CSRSYLTE CON 2	H Posn (reticle)	V Posn (reticle)	Signal

April 25, 2005 (M. Palmer for E. Tanke): Update on BSM Modules Testing Status

• • DCoffset2.doc: Updated studies of signal offsets in various power supply and grounding configurations.

April 26, 2005, 0800-1000 (M. Palmer, J. Dobbins, C. Strohman, E. Tanke w/help from M. Comfort and M. Carrier): Installation

• Installed all remaining cabling at 23W
  • SXIO cable
  • Timing cable
  • DSP Power Disable ECO cable
  • HV cables
• Connected timing cable run to end of BPM segment at 12W. Now terminated at 23W.
• Installed electronics underneath 23W light box
• Installed 32 channel linear PMT array
  • Moved expander lense (f = -50 mm) closer to beam-splitter pellicle
  • Face of PMT approx 7.5" (= 190 mm) from expander lense (M ~ 3.6)

April 26, 2005, 1000-1300 (J. Dobbins, M. Palmer, C. Strohman, E. Tanke): Communications/Grounding/Noise Checks

• EPT verified that we could talk to the BSM Readout Module
• Then conducted a series of noise checks to determine whether grounding was reasonable
  • Initially observed sporadic large noise spikes
  • Ultimately did 2 things:
    • Made sure PMT not grounded to box
    • Placed a ground braid between the power supply box (6048-119) and the DSP module
• Verify that noise levels look reasonable after attach HV cable to power supply in control room.
• Attach noise study document here

April 26, 2005, 1645-1800 (M. Billing, M. Palmer, E. Tanke, L. Wilkins):

• EPT finds that we cannot disable power to DSP module
• MAP/LMW check hardware
• MGB ultimately finds that database address incorrect. Everything works after fix and database refresh

April 26, 2005, 2100-2300 (M. Palmer, C. Strohman, E. Tanke): Initial Data Attempt

• Set PMT HV to -600V
• Run channel-by-channel timing scan and immediately see signal on detector!!!

  • Attempt to find beam on PMT with no success doing both geometric and timing scans
  • Large horizontal chang
• 0900-1100 - During access inspect 23W optics and start installing beam targets
  • Determine that bunch optics beamsplitter had marginal placement since outset resulting in a quite restricted aperture for both TV and PMT monitoring. Remount the beamsplitter in a better position.
  • Place white card target at beampipe exit window with camera monitoring
• 1100-1230 - Checks with beam
  • After get beam back observe that there is a significant "burn" strip across lower portion of the primary mirror

    • Image #4:
      
    • Image #5 after adjusting VBUMPING 23 +253 CU:
      
  • Determine that 253 units of VBUMPING 23 results in vertical center of beam being located halfway between "burn" strip and top edge of mirror. Probably the best operating point we can aim for.

• 0830 - Quick check for light appears OK. Unable to see bunch-by-bunch signal, however. After power cycling DSP were able to see noise but no signal.
• 0900 - Access. Appeared to have a poorly seated signal connector. Checked bunch optics rail alignment by laser and adjust so that beam is approximately on axis for CCD beamspot near center of CCD mirror and
• 1200 - Load electrons for bunch-by-bunch readout test and CCD optimization. Set VBUMPING 23 to 253 CU so that beamspot between burn strip and top edge of mirror.
  • Find that a good CCD operating point is with the following settings:
    • CSRSYLTE CON 1 (Horz) = 700
    • CSRSYLTE CON 2 (Vert) = 463
    • CSRSYLTOUCHY 1 (Horz) = 384
    • CSRSYLTOUCHY 2 (Vert) = 604
  • This setting has the camera image on center vertically and 2mm to the left horizontally
  • Bunch-by-bunch readout is now operational
  • Find good BSM performance with the camera image 7mm to the left of center (ie, towards outside of ring). The mirror controls are at:
    • CSRSYLTE CON 1 (Horz) = 709 <---- Only difference from CCD
    • CSRSYLTE CON 2 (Vert) = 463

  • Had a brief scare in that left PMT HV on when tunnel lights activated
  • Use laser to check alignment and adjust bunch-by-bunch optics rail
• 1315-1445 Unable to run due to magnet run-up problems and chopper failure
• 1445-1515 Play mirror settings off against each other in order to set up centered working point for CCD and BSM.
  • Find good performance with the following settings (saveset taken: 103554):
    • VBUMPING 23 = 253
    • CSRSYLTE CON 1 (Horz) = 700
    • CSRSYLTE CON 2 (Vert) = 466
    • CSRSYLTOUCHY 1 (Horz) = 376
    • CSRSYLTOUCHY 2 (Vert) = 609
  • Observe that CCD vertical size numbers vary from approximately 180 to 215 microns as adjust mirror setup and position on CCD. The above settings gave a size around 200 microns.
  • Stored 2 sets of measurements for e+= 0 mA, e-= 80 mA with timing set to 840 and HV=-520V (notice change in HV):
    • Averaged data (test_300avg)-> 2005_06_21/1509/BSM_PAW_2005_06_21_1509.DAT

June 22, 2005 (M. Palmer, E. Tanke) Changes to Electron Synch Light Box Beamsplitters at 23W

• 0730 - Ready for access to install alternate beamsplitters in electron synch light. However have to wait for checkout of ground fault on West Quad Meeker during magnet rampdown.
• 0745 to 1000 - Replace beamsplitters in optics box
  • First verify distance between expander lens and PMT face as 8 1/8 inches
  • Then set up laser and targets as reference points for beamsplitter replacement
  • Prepare to replace two 8R/92T beamsplitters (one to pick of light for camera/PMT before CCD, and second to pick of light for PMT before camera) with 50R/50T beamsplitters
  • Nominal light fractions

    Optics Line	Before	After
    CCD	92%	50%
    PMT	0.64%	25%
    TV Camera	7.4%	25%

  • For the PMT line added a 12.5% ND filter before the PMT.
  • Changes in position at the camera reticle versus the CCD appear to be at the +/-1mm level
  • Had to readjust PMT optics line and may have bigger errors there.
• 1310 - Start alignment checks
  • Find good CCD alignment (with VBUMPING 23 = 253 CU) with
    • CSRSYLTE CON 1 (Horz) = 695
    • CSRSYLTE CON 2 (Vert) = 467
    • CSRSYLTOUCHY 1 (Horz) = 383
    • CSRSYLTOUCHY 2 (Vert) = 607
  • The spot on the camera reticle is 1mm above center and 2.5 mm to outside of ring (ie, left) in the horizontal. Take saveset 103573.
  • Observe very low single bunch PMT signal which is rather confusing. Ultimately run PMT to -680V and find that the centered position on the PMT is 3mm above center and 2.5mm to inside of ring on the camera reticle.
• Check of removed beamsplitters
  • After unexpected light levels, re-inspect beamsplitters removed during this morning's access. Beamsplitter in front of CCD was apparently NOT an 8R/92T beamsplitter but rather a 33R/67T or 50R/50T beamsplitter (difficult to tell the difference without an intensity measurement setup). Assuming the former, this means that the nominal light fraction changes should be:

    Optics Line	Before (nominal)	After (nominal)	Ratio (nominal)
    CCD	67%	50%	0.75
    PMT	33% x 8% = 2.6%	50% x 50% x 12.5% = 3.1%	1.2
    TV Camera	33% x 92% = 30.4%	50% x 50% = 25%	0.82

  • For the 50R/50T case this would be:

    Optics Line	Before (nominal)	After (nominal)	Ratio (nominal)
    CCD	50%	50%	1.0
    PMT	50% x 8% = 4%	50% x 50% x 12.5% = 3.1%	0.78
    TV Camera	50% x 92% = 46%	50% x 50% = 25%	0.54

  • The above is closer to what we observed but still seems to overestimate the observed PMT signal. Expect that the spectral response of the coated versus uncoated pellicles in combintation with the spectral response of each device is complicating the issue. Will need to investigate further during access on 6/23. Will also attempt to calibrate CCD response from before and after as an additional cross-check.

June 23, 2005 (M. Palmer, E. Tanke) Bunch-by-Bunch Optics Line for Electron Synch Light Box at 23W

• 1000 - During access removed the ND filter from the bunch-by-bunch optics line
• 1200 - SBP recovered injection so that we can check BSM response to 2mA T1B1 e-
  • Find good CCD alignment (with VBUMPING 23 = 253 CU) at:
    • CSRSYLTE CON 1 (Horz) = 692
    • CSRSYLTE CON 2 (Vert) = 467
    • CSRSYLTOUCHY 1 (Horz) = 382
    • CSRSYLTOUCHY 2 (Vert) = 608
  • Search for BSM signal
    • First observe a very small signal of approx 200 ADC counts at 500 V
    • Initial signal moves when vertically scan
    • Do a LARGE horizontal scan and finally realize that we must have messed up the optics rail alignment yesterday. Real BSM signal requires a 15-20 mm displacement from center of TV reticle. Real signal is 100x larger!!!
• 1230 - 1330 Turn over to DLR for USPAS studies
• 1330 - Access in magnet bypass mode with MGB
  • 9 minute access allows us to rotate the BSM optics rail around the pellicle and displacing the PMT approx 1 cm to the radial inside of the ring.
    • Upon putting 2 mA T1B1 e- in mahcine and maximizing PMT signal, find the following:

      PMT HV	Signal Level (16 x ADC)
      -400	13000
      -420	19800
      -450	30500
      -460	35000
      -470	40000
      -480	Saturation

  • Verified that single turn profiles could be obtained with this setup
  • Final alignment has CCD and BSM optimum points off by about 2mm horizontally. Optimized BSM output (with VBUMPING 23 = 253 CU) at:
    • CSRSYLTE CON 1 (Horz) = 734 --> 729 (for good CCD performance)
    • CSRSYLTE CON 2 (Vert) = 466
    • CSRSYLTOUCHY 1 (Horz) = 339

August 1, 2005 (E. Tanke) Pulse height test with BSM

• Each of the 32 channels of BSM was tested with a signal from a pulse generator in order to compare channel to channel pulse heights. In this test raw data were taken at the timing corresponding to the location of the peak; these data were then averaged over 3 periods of 60 Hz. Results are shown in BSM2PHs.pdf

August 2, 2005 (M.Palmer, C.Strohman, J.Dobbins, A. Wolski, E. Tanke) BSM23W work and MS

• A repeater was installed on the timing that triggers BSM23W and the signal quality was verified to have improved w.r.t. last week's finding.
• The ND filter was taken out in view of today's MS
• Details of today's experimental setup can be found on today's CESR Machine Studies page
• Modified card timings in test_10kraw.c and test_300avg.c due to installation of repeater:
  • Old timings for card 0..3: 100,100,100,100

  • 2005_08_02 data with e- = 1.27 mA, 125K turns; triggered by the second bit ( = bit 1 ) of GLOBAL_TURN_DAT; V pinger on

August 18, 2005 (E. Tanke) Verification of BSM23W timing

• The measurement taken on August 2, 2005 contains many "spurious" data. It was found that this is due to the fact that one should not change the card timings by more than +/- 100 w.r.t. the nominal 100.
• The timing scan program, which had been artificially limited in software to a global timing range of 0..1500, has been modified and now has as global timing range 0..2047
• The measurement taken on August 2, 2005 seemed to indicated a problem with geometric channel 16 (1..32). This turned out to be part and parcel of the consequences of having bad card timing settings as confirmed by todays measurement of 162 mA e- only, using get_10kraw with card timings at 100, global timing at 1620, PMT HV= -490V.

September 21 , 2005 (M. Billing, M.Palmer, E. Tanke) BSM23W work and MS

• Machine study hampered by the fact that timings seemed to have changed: Time scans evidenced erratic behaviour for the old timings ( card timing = 100 and global timing = 1560 ). Non-erratic behaviour was found for card timing = 400 and Global timing 1200, whereby in order to acquire data from T1B1, we had to set the DSP to acquire from T9B21 (i.e. the preceding bunch).
• Measurment with a full load of beam, but looking at T1B1 with total currents: e-=0.8 mA, e+=0 mA. Timing set to 1200 with card timings set to 400. PMT HV=520 V, neutral density filter in place. 75k turn data stored in /home/tanke/cesr/ts101/bsm23w/test_10kraw/2005_09_21

• Measurements with test_300avg, 100 loops, 1000 turns, Tcards=400, Tglobal=1200, PMT HV=470V
• Note that, because of the recently installed timing repeater, bunch data got shifted by one bunch. For the PAW analysis, a new kumac (read_avg_data_m.kumac) was created in order to read the bunch data correctly.

November 10 , 2005 (E.Tanke) BSM23W timed in

• After 10-Oct-2005, a new timing repeater was installed in the tunnel. As a consequence, timing setings had to be re-established for the BSM.
  • Beam conditions: 4x5 electrons 200 mA total (10 mA per bunch) and 4x5 positrons (non-colliding).
  • With the PMT HV set to 400 V and after some mirror adjustment, a peak of ~3900 ADC counts was found for Tcard=100 and Tglob=1750.
