Scope and Motivation for SPS damper upgrade under LIU Why LS1? sharing pick-ups with Orbit System (MOPOS) from Beam Instrumentation Group incompatible with MOPOS upgrade requirements for single bunch damping for protons used for LHC p-ion Physics (closer spaced proton bunches, 100 ns) ions injection damping with fixed frequency scheme, closer spaced batches individual bunch damping for crab cavity studies not possible with previous system (sampling was not synchronous with bunch in previous system) LHC doublet scrubbing beam incompatible with previous system controls with G64 chassis and MIL-1553 (a.k.a. MMI) became obsolete new controls for power system and LLRF, new RF function generators 23. Feb 2015 SPS Damper - Gerd Kotzian2

New Acquisition System o provide means to expert users/piquets for diagnostics triggered by timing freezes acquisition buffers in all channels 7 Channels, (16 buffers) 1 OBS channel (4 buffers, selectable sources) 6 channels per clock domain (2 buffers each, dedicated) o OBS data sources available I/Q data for sum/delta inputs (per pick-up) position data (+head-tail component) probe various DSPU internal signals 40 MSPS, 4 buffers, each 2MSamples, or ~ 2000 turns o Dedicated channels: 120 MSPS 2 buffers per channel, each 4095 samples 1-turn data (2772 slices) per ADC and DAC channel adjustment of sampling delay clock tagging (bunch 0) NB: constant data stream available (in the future) ObsBox!

New Acquisition System - DIFFICULTIES o Acq Data read-out not available with double buffering removing double buffering requires data to be transmitted in the same cycle. o Read-out of large memories blocking VME traffic(!) interfered with the setting up of the following cycle data readout instantaneously (several seconds) o Buffer unwrapping not reliable data discontinuities (systematic error) o SRAM memories suffered from setup- and hold-time violations on certain buffers data corrupted (random error) o Data from previous acquisition cannot reliably correlate data with other buffers/ from other sources NO AUTOSAVE all acquisitions done manually ( Buffers are regularly in use with settings modified during setting up) 23.

Outlook for 2015 SCRUBBING o Evaluate scrubbing module Investigate on phase behaviour compare Scrub vs. pLHC sharing same PU and same power system, expect same behaviour o Move to full I/Q signal processing currently the scrubbing module is too sensitive to sampling delay implement in analog, requires modification of HW DDC - digital down conversion, modification of FW o run Scrub + pLHC damper in parallel Scrub active during splitting process (40 MHz present) pLHC kicks in once splitting is complete (200 MHz restored) o Acquisition and Observation System improvements Improve SRAM chip timings Auto-save feature (comes with new SPS Damper UI) ObsBox constant data flux 23.
