2. paul drumm daq&c-ws august/september 2005 2 Physics Parameters Monitoring system can record many parameters, but: What are the critical parameters? Is the following sufficient? –Beam Line & Target Almost irrelevant Dipole one = momentum of pions Dipole two = momentum setting of muon beam Diffuser = energy loss = momentum into MICE –Poor measurement & p measured by TOF and Tracker Use Table of settings –record table-ID when loaded –“All ok” should be a gate condition –Magnets/Absorber Table of settings as above –RF – more dynamic information is needed High Q system – what does this mean for V &  ? Tuning mechanism – no details yet – pulse to pulse

3. paul drumm daq&c-ws august/september 2005 3 Superconducting magnets Current Setting –Process control – turn on/off/adjust –Passive monitoring – status Power supply = lethargic parameters Transducers = V&I Temperature monitoring Magnetic field measurements –3d Hall probes –CANBus – PCI/USB/VME interfaces available Feedback system or… Fault warnings –Temperatures / operational features MLS  Record Settings, Report Faults, “All ok” in gate

5. paul drumm daq&c-ws august/september 2005 5 RF (& Coupling Coil) RF Cavity –Tuning –Cavity Power Level (Amplitude) –Cavity Phase RF Power –LL RF (~kW) –Driver RF (300kW) –Power RF (4MW) MICE has separate tasks to develop cavity and power systems but they are closely linked in a closed loop

7. paul drumm daq&c-ws august/september 2005 7 RF sequence of events Trigger: event determined by (G)MS (etc) –After some programmed delay –RF powered up –Power Controlled to a set point Hardware phase & amplitude measurement Amplitude in “fast” closed loop Phase in “slow” closed loop –Cavity tuning depends on error signals
