Synchrotron-Light Monitors
Two applications: BSRT: Imaging telescope, for transverse beam profiles BSRA: Abort-gap monitor, to verify that the gap is empty
When the kicker fires, particles in the gap get a partial kick and might cause a quench.
Two particle types: Protons and lead ions
Three light sources: Undulator radiation at injection (450 GeV) Dipole edge radiation at intermediate energy (2 to 3 TeV) Central dipole radiation at collision energy (3.5 to 7 TeV) Spectrum and focus change during ramp.

Emission increases with energy while beam size shrinks, giving a strong variation of the signal on the peak pixel.

Abort-Gap Monitor
Gated photomultiplier gets ~15% of collected light. PMT is gated off except during the 3-s abort gap:
High gain needed during gap. No saturation when filled bunches pass by.
Pick off before all slits or filters for maximum light. Digitize the gap signal in 30 100-ns bins.
Sum over 100 ms and 1 s. Longer integration needed when emission in PMT band is
weak (protons at crossover and ions at injection). Worst case signal-to-noise is 10 for 1-s integration at 10% of
threshold.
Requirement: Detect whether any bin has a population over 10% of the quench threshold.

Protons/100ns at Quench Threshold
Original threshold specification (given only at 0.45 and 7 TeV) was too generous.
BLM group provided improved models. We used Sapinski’s calculation. Ions fragment on beam screen, and deposit energy equivalent to Z protons
at same point in ramp.

Re-examining the Optical Design
Optical: Add focus adjustment, since source moves during the ramp. Add a calibration source.
Mechanical: The optics were housed in a tube (left over from LEP). Replace with an optical table.
More space for optics. Better access for adjustment.
Calculations: Light level from protons and ions Can the undulator stay on at high energy? Minimize blurring from diffraction and depth of field. Improve the optics for better imaging. Monitoring abort gap even with weak light at injection.

Commissioning: 450-GeV Pilot Bunch
BSRA (Abort-Gap Monitor): Set a wide gate that includes the pilot bunch. Steer first two mirrors to find a signal on the PMT.
Avoid damaging PMT: Software alarm or feedback on high voltage Insert filters as needed. Shorten the gate. Verify timing using the pilot bunch. Calibrate the signal level with the pilot bunch. Reset the gate to span only the abort gap. Remove filters for sensitivity to threshold gap population.

Commissioning: 450-GeV Pilot Bunch
BSRT Cameras: Adjust steering as needed to get light on cameras.
Check that light remains on the PMT. 10-mm diameter photocathode, placed at intermediate waist.
Adjust intensifier gain and gated-camera integration as needed. Focus by scanning the trombone (expect ±100 mm).
Determine steering needed to keep light on center of cameras. Determine settings for:
Pilot bunch, 1 turn (gated camera) and 20 ms (intensified camera) Nominal bunch, 1 turn and 20 ms Multiple nominal bunches

Commissioning: Ramping the Pilot
Don’t change light path at first: Measure beam displacements. Measure intensity changes.
But keep the detectors from saturating.
At end of ramp: Resteer the light. Adjust intensity. Recalibrate the BSRA and cameras.
Build up a calibration table for each energy step: Steering Intensity control
