Transient beam loading at injection

Ivan Karpov and Philippe Baudrenghien

Power requirements at injection

The full-detuning scheme has no advantage during machine filling (previous meeting)

→ The half-detuning scheme needs to be used

Required peak power in steady-state situation 𝑃HD =𝑉cav መ𝐼b,rf

the same during injection process?

→ Evaluation of power including details of LLRF system is necessary

For given 𝐼g 𝑡 and 𝐼b,rf 𝑡 the cavity voltage can be found from*

Cavity filling time 𝜏 = 2𝑄L/𝜔rf, cavity detuning Δ𝜔 = 𝜔r − 𝜔rf, 𝑅/𝑄 = 45 Ω

→ How do we get 𝐼b,rf 𝑡 and 𝐼g 𝑡 ?

The rf power chain (amplifier, circulator, etc.) has limited bandwidth

For power transient calculations, we are interested dynamics of the system for the first few turns after injection

→ 𝐼b,rf 𝑡 can be replaced by a stepwise function 𝑓(𝑡) with sampling rate 1/𝑡bb = 40 MHz (𝑡bb - bunch spacing), so

𝐼b,rf 𝑡 = −𝑖 መ𝐼b,rf 𝑓(𝑡)

The direct feedback gain is defined by the loop stability 𝐺 = 2 𝑅/𝑄 𝜔rf𝜏delay−1

for 𝜏delay = 650 ns

For the finite gain cavity voltage will be lower than 𝑉ref

It improves longitudinal multi-bunch stability

As expected for the finite gain, the voltage is lower than it is requested

→ This explains lower power consumption

There is a small overshoot in power after injection

Some modulation of the cavity voltage amplitude and more significant modulation of the cavity voltage phase

Results: analog + digital DFB + OTFB (1/2)

There is a difference between first and the second turn after injection

Significant overshoot due to action of OTFB

Second turn

Better compensation of the cavity voltage at the second turn by OTFB costs significantly more power

Conclusions

• Detailed model of LLRF in the LHC was implemented in the time-domain beam-cavity-generator interaction equations.

• Preliminary results show that one turn delay feedback can cause problems during injection process resulting in large power transients. Possible solution would be reduction of OTFB gain during machine filling.

• Next steps:

• Comparison with MD data and BLonD model
