3 MICE High Power RF systems 3 MICE HPRF system requirements have changed Fewer cavities, no coupling coil Required operational date on the beamline is Summer 2017 Requires early commissioning of the hardware: Starting Aug 2016 Enables demonstration of ionisation cooling with re-acceleration First results complete before end US fiscal year 2017 The MICE Demonstration of Ionisation Cooling requires Two cavities bracketed by two thin LiH absorbers, sandwiching main absorber MICE RF Module Engineering Review LBNL Center for Beam Physics

4 MICE High Power RF systems 4 2MW peak output from RF drive amplifiers, are unchanged LLRF ~10 % overhead to achieve regulation Estimated <10 % loss in transmission line Power delivered to each cavity 1.62 MW, Anticipated gradient in each cavity 10.3 MV/m Slight uplift in gradient from 7.2 MV/m in each ‘STEP V’ cavity MICE RF Module Engineering Review LBNL Center for Beam Physics

5 Flexible coax Line Trimmers Hybrid Splitter Directional Coupler in each line 4616 Pre Amplifier TH116 Amplifier 500kW Load Directional Coupler 6 inch RF network 5 MICE RF Module Engineering Review LBNL Center for Beam Physics Simplified distribution network- feasible to route overhead Off-centre mounting of hybrid takes up phase shift Orientation of load arbitrary- align with the 6” distribution line and share mountings Minimised length of 4” line- minimises losses

6 RF network 6 MICE RF Module Engineering Review LBNL Center for Beam Physics 2 nd amplifier moved to 3 rd position behind wall to ease installation in congested area With 2 RF amplifiers now relatively straightforward to place auxiliary systems (cooling) Water cooling for load will need to route over the air gap on the transmission lines Load on each splitter to absorb unbalanced reflections Retracted crane hook clears coax over the wall. Support from present ‘shield wall’ and yoke

10 LLRF systems MICE LLRF: provide 1% amplitude, 0.5 o phase regulation, power ramp-up Will control tuner system System is closely related to existing Daresbury accelerators Boards will be tested during the amplifier commissioning programme LLRF system, timeframe and resources Crate build up, A Moss and DL Electronics staff Includes all analogue aspects and hardware Software Development Requires FPGA software: VHDL - XILINX (Spartan) programmer Principle code already exists In use at DL (ALICE) and development at RAL (ISIS) Requires modification RAL (ISIS) currently developing Daresbury code from ALICE for use at 200MHz, similar timescales to MICE. MICE requirement: synergy with ASTeC requirement to recruit Combination LLRF and XILINX is rare, but VHDL software expertise is widely required- but also in demand 10 MICE RF Module Engineering Review LBNL Center for Beam Physics

23 Preparation Programme: Timeframes 23 Cavity No 1 programme: May 2016: Module delivered assembled, baked, LLRF tested from LBNL Re-test tuning, exercising of the tuners Acceptance Criteria Require RF specialists: UK + US Prepare for evacuation: pump, gauge installation: Vacuum engineer and mechanical technicians Prepare cavity diagnostic systems, control systems, cooling, RF Engineering, Controls and Monitoring, Mechanical Technicians 4 weeks Install in upstream space against shield wall (parallel to Up Stream Solenoid)- See R. Preece talk May require installing X-ray shield (est ~80 microSv/hr at 3m) 2 weeks, mostly mechanical effort, plus Engineering/Health Physics for design Evacuation, estimate 2 weeks (RF and Vacuum Engineering) Install, tune overhead RF lines, 2 weeks concurrent with evacuation (RF, Mech. Technicians) Retest of cavity tune after evacuation, 1 week Potential to be ready around July 2016 MICE RF Module Engineering Review LBNL Center for Beam Physics

24 RF System Controls 24 Plans drafted (in discussion and review) for the controls and monitoring interfaces required for the RF system and interfacing to other vital subsystems Will allow expedited build of remote control system and data logging system as soon as effort is available Each Cavity: 17 analogue inputs, 1 analogue output, 4 digital inputs (2 logic states) Each RF system: 24 digital inputs (2 logic states), 4 digital inputs (3 states), 1 digital input (8+ logic states), 22 analogue signal inputs (13 are high, ~MHz, speed), 3 analogue control inputs Some of these may be logically ‘AND-ed’ outside the control logic MICE RF Module Engineering Review LBNL Center for Beam Physics

25 Timing System, Detailed Specification We wish to know the difference between Transit time of any of our muons (in essence through ToF1) A zero crossing of the RF system in any cavity- choose the first cavity Use tracker measurement of trajectories to project forward to each cavity in turn LLRF phase (0.5 o ) stability specification is ~3x stricter than the resolution desired for the RF timing system <20ps or <0.4% of the RF cycle In turn specification for RF timing is ~3x stricter than ToF resolution 50ps ~1% Should mean the timing accuracy is ~1% of RF cycle, defined by ToFs resolution Stability, and/or accurate knowledge, of all parameters in the system will be important Long cable runs, with dielectric insulated coaxial lines? Phase relationship between the cavity fields and the signals on the test ports Relationship between ToF signals and actual Muon transit MICE RF Module Engineering Review LBNL Center for Beam Physics 25

26 Overview of Timing Critical Elements Sketch illustrates relationships of key components in the Demonstration experiment Work in progress: Mathematical tests of digitiser interpolation Test of signal reconstruction with lab generated and MTA cavity waveforms Test sensitivity to vertical resolution, temporal sample rate, noise, bandwidth Work to be undertaken: Test TDC/Discriminators in 201.25 MHz environment ToF 1 Cavity 1 RF Amp 1 LLRF Beamline HPRF RF Drive LLRF Feedback TDC’s (ToF) TDC’s (RF) Digitisers Datarecorders RF Clock Trigger Discriminators (RF) Discriminators (ToF) ToF Signals RG213 201.25 MHz LLRF MO MO Signal (RG213) Computers RF Amp 2 HPRF Cavity 2 RF Drive Cavity 2 (RG213) Cavity 1 (RG213) MICE RF Module Engineering Review LBNL Center for Beam Physics 26

27 ‘Sub’ Nyquist digitisation To acquire at Nyquist on 200 MHz would demand a sampling rate of ~1-2 G.Sa/sec, for 1ms – Demands ~1 to 2 MB per acquired channel, > 7.2 GB/hr (assuming an 8 bit digitiser) – 400  s window presently being acquired at MTA- requires minutes to record traces Fourier domain signal reconstruction – The Fourier transform of the undersampled data maps the signal into its ‘unaliased’, relatively low frequency range We may then retransform to the time domain to determine the time evolution of the signal at some arbitrary point in time Must satisfy Nyquist on the linewidth- for our cavity natural linewidth is ~5 kHz, effective linewidth is ~10 kHz, so sampling rate ~few hundred k.Sa/sec should be sufficient We assume 20 M.Sa/sec, with 1ms we now have about 20 kB per 8 bit recorded channel, data rate of ~72 MB/hr per channel MICE RF Module Engineering Review LBNL Center for Beam Physics 27

28 Timing hardware and Tests Use TDC and discriminators used in ToF system TDC’s CAEN V1290 25 ps multi-hit 25ps bin size maps to 7ps uncertainty (assuming Uniform PDF) LeCroy 4415A discriminators Need to be tested in RF environment (alternatives available) Use of same electronics as ToF mitigates systematic uncertainty & drift TDC hardware, discriminators and crates now assembled at Strathclyde. RF connection boards being fabricated to allow tests at RF frequencies To make efficient integration into DAQ ideally use VME digitisers for the sub- sample reconstruction At present continue to use fast, 8 bit, DSO’s to capture signal Plan to use CAEN V1761 digitisers 1GHz, 4G.Sa/sec, 10 bit, 2 Channel instrument Capable of 57.6MS/Ch 28 MICE RF Module Engineering Review LBNL Center for Beam Physics
