Transverse beam feedback systems in the U-70 synchrotron

详细

A method for analyzing the transverse beam feedback circuit in a ring accelerator and selecting its parameters using the concept of the active beam coupling impedance, which is externally imposed and controlled, is described. This approach is used for the physical substantiation of approaches to upgrading two operational transverse feedback systems that are available in the U-70 synchrotron of the Institute for High Energy Physics, National Research Centre Kurchatov Institute: narrow-band analog and broadband digital systems. Both systems were subjected to deep upgrading, which is based on this method, and were successfully commissioned in 2007 and 2011, respectively. A brief description of their updated engineering implementation is given. The presented experimental results confirm the adequacy of the impedance approach to designing and adjusting the transverse beam feedback circuits in the U-70 synchrotron.
