6. Injector Matching HC position differences are generated at the source. “Matching” the beam emittance to the accelerator acceptance realizes damping, Well matched beam => position differences reduced. Poorly matched beam => reduced damping (or even growth). Accelerator matching (linacs & arcs) routinely demonstrated. Injector matching has been arduous, long (~2 year) process.

8. Injector HC Position Feedback Helicity Magnets HM (electron beam) replace PZT (laser beam) 4 magnets => position (x,y) & angle (x’,y’) linear over desired region independent electrically Isolated orbit correction in each state corrleated charge asymmetry 100x better than PZT resolution 100 nm => 10 nm (at 5 MeV)

9. PZTBooster Concept Matching “Standard” injector matching process Time consuming (1 shift + 2 days + 1 shift) 30 Hz PZT at source yields small signal Helicity Magnets in new “Optics Mode” Synchronous with 30 Hz BPM acquisition system Mimic small signal to deliver large signal Goal: Streamline injector matching Improve accuracy of result Allow for rapid confirmation Direct comparison between Accelerator & Physics results for damping and response matrix for feedback.

10. Hall C Accelerator resources re-allocated in February for final 3C line work: move Moller quad => low energy polarimetry arrange quadruplet optics +> spot size (halo?) control install shielded beam pipe => HKS stray field independence install Halo & G0 girders w/ improved mating to G0 spectrometer Acclerator resources are largely allocated to the accelerator for the winter shutdown, with the exception of: Install Moller kicker to allow high current polarimetry
