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

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.

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 ~ 4.8)

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!!!

May 04, 2005 (M. Palmer): PMT HV

  • With the optics aligned to give maximum signal, we are in danger of damaging the PMT at voltages between -550V and -600V. As a result, a new administrative limit of -550V should be adhered to in CHESS conditions.

May 04, 2005 (M. Palmer, G. Codner, E. Tanke): Beam studies with BSM 23 W

  • After some initial readout problems, which were resolved by rebooting the DSP, a series of measurements was made under various single and 2 beam conditions.

  • One set of averaged data (as a function of time) over all channels and all bunches was taken with an electron beam arranged in 4 trains x 5 bunches. The measurement file is stored on the VAX as:
    • [PALMER.TS101.TEST_DAQPACK.saved_data]BSM4MAY2005_1443.DAT 58 mA e-, 0 mA e+, pretzel on, H=+1 mm, V=+3 mm

  • A series of measurements where performed using the test_300avg/get_300_avg programs, where one acquires data at a given point in time (for these measurements, timing set point=810). The measurement files are currently stored in the [PALMER.TS101.TEST_300AVG.saved_data] directory on the VAX and will be analyzed in the days to come.

June 20, 2005 (M. Palmer, E. Tanke, D. Hartill): Check of Electron Synch Light Optics

  • 0700 - Attempt to tune up e- image by playing CSRSYLTE CON mirrors against CSRSYLTOUCHY mirrors.
    • Find best image with:
      • CSRSYLTE CON 1 (Horz) = 808 (versus 746)
      • CSRSYLTE CON 2 (Vert) = 525 (versus 405)
      • CSRSYLTOUCHY 1 (Horz) = 422 (versus 572)
      • CSRSYLTOUCHY 2 (Vert) = 533 (versus 691)
    • Further tuning indicates that image quality can be maintained when return to former vertical settings but that horizontal needs significant correction suggesting that horizontal periscope may have been bumped
    • Large shoulder still present
    • 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 #1 of primary mirror damage at 23W synch light monitor:

      • CSRSYLTOUCHY 1 (Horz) = 514
      • CSRSYLTOUCHY 2 (Vert) = 563
  • 1245 - 1345 - Turn over to GWC for feedback checks
  • 1345 - 1430 - Access to move target
    • Place target on bunch-by-bunch optics line before filter/lens assembly
  • 1430 - 1515 - Check alignment further
    • Optimize mirrors for CCD signal and obtain:
      • CSRSYLTE CON 1 (Horz) = 812 (LIMIT)
      • CSRSYLTE CON 2 (Vert) = 468
      • CSRSYLTOUCHY 1 (Horz) = 414
      • CSRSYLTOUCHY 2 (Vert) = 598
    • Bunch-by-bunch optics line shows beamspot low by 3/16 inch and to radial outside of ring by 1/16 inch. OK!
  • 1515 - 1530 - Let DLR run a couple tests for USPAS
  • 1530 - 1630 - Set up for optics box realignment
    • Set up periscope and laser
    • Adjust horizontal periscope until CSRSYLTE CON 1 no longer at limit
    • Able to center laser beam on TV reticle and have symmetric working region in both horizontal and vertical with new settings
    • Nominal mirror settings for centered laser spot:
      • CSRSYLTE CON 1 (Horz) = 641
      • CSRSYLTE CON 2 (Vert) = 470
      • CSRSYLTOUCHY 1 (Horz) = 414
      • CSRSYLTOUCHY 2 (Vert) = 597

  • 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.

    • 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:

  • 1250 - Start short access to finish alignment of bunch-by-bunch optics rail. Want to try to get within a mm of optimum CCD alignment.
    • 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 2005

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).

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.

January 20, 2006 (E. Tanke): CHESS X-ray BSM

  • This week cables have been pulled to CHESS hutch B1 for CHESS X-ray BSM experiments. A database node has been added to talk to the DSP at this location: BSM PROC XXX 3, where XXX=ADR, PKT and DAT.
  • With a test signal (pulse length ~ 4ns) supplied by a LeCroy pulse generator connected to the diode board (no diode mounted yet, instead a 50 Ohm resister to ground and a 1.2 pF to the input were mounted), the following response was found:

March 7, 2006 Installation of 23W Horizontal Periscope (MAP/RLH)

  • Plan:
    • Set up laser optics and place marker flags internal to light box
    • Replace horizontal periscope
    • Realign to laser flags
  • Installation ok, but laser was removed by tunnel crew thus preventing us recovering alignment
  • Will need to do full alignment 3/7-3/8.

March 8, 2006 Attempt to Realign e- Synchrotron Light Monitor Optics (MAP/EPT/RME/RNC/LMW)

  • 10:40 Initially get light going through center hole in H periscope change with pretzel on
    • Do NOT get light to reticle
    • Optimize so that we are not at an aperture edge with no effect
  • 11:10 Start access and will trace optics path start to finish
    • Forced to ramp in order to get e- injection. Injection after ramp required lowering horz tune by ~200 CU
    • Target at V periscope input:

      Camera view of V periscope input target (#2)
    • Verify that burn strip is present
      Lights off camera view of V periscope input target (#3)
    • VB23 scan (seps on)
      • -1000 CU :
        Lights off camera view of V periscope input target (#4)

      • 0 CU :

    • Check pretzel effect
      • Horizontal Separators ON:
        Horizontal Separators ON

      • Horizontal Separators OFF - observe a 1/16" shift to the north:
        Horizontal Separators OFF

  • 12:30 Setup for tracing path through vertical periscope
    • Light entrance point on periscope means that a "true" vertical path will be displace towards the aisle and northwards in vertical periscope. Note that the mirrors area actually offset towards the south of the vertical periscope centerline so this is not an ideal alignment. We should consider moving the vertical periscope another 1/8" (beam offset) + 1/4" (nom. mirror offset) = 3/8" to the north!
    • Set up a pair of flags (top with hole near nominal true vertical path, bottom without hole) to try to optimize upper mirror.

    • Move CSRSYLTOUCHY 1 to 460 (from 267) to catch edge of bottom mirror in the horizontal
    • The alignment is pretty good in aisle-wall direction, but is too far North!!
    • This strongly implies we should proceed with the vertical periscope move towards the north!!
  • 16:05 Start move of vertical periscope
    • Shift vertical periscope approx. 3/8" to North
    • Re-check position at input to periscope
      • Synch light spot at V periscope input after move:
        Synch light spot at V periscope input after move

      • Vertical position approx. 1/4" low
      • Long position approx. 1/8" to South. This is the correct direction to be offset slightly given the internal offsets of the mirrors in the vertical periscope (will maximize mirror aperture).
  • 17:15 Start setting up vertical periscope through measurement
    • Will aim for center of lower mirror
