Holger Schlarb | LLRF’15 Workshop Shanghai | 2015/11/03 | Page 6 Operational experience with MicroTCA.4 LLRF system at FLASH > 2 years of operation of FLASH with MicroTCA.4 LLRF system  Significant improvement in regulation performance  System is operating stable (main issues found and fixed)  Found one issue with SSD/Raid array failure > Continue upgrade of the system  Software development, further automation routines  Upgrade of hardware components  Integration of long term stability improving modules > Next major milestones  Integration with opt. synchronization system  Recommissioning of the fast intra-train feedback  Link stabilized reference Talk by Uros Mavric, We

Holger Schlarb | LLRF’15 Workshop Shanghai | 2015/11/03 | Page 7 Operation experience with LLRF System at FLASH… 1.3 GHz  0.06 deg / %RH 3.9 GHz  0.18 deg / %RH Strong impact of RF drifts caused by humidity… Cavity patch panel mitigated using drift calibration module Talk by Frank Ludwig, Fr.

Holger Schlarb | LLRF’15 Workshop Shanghai | 2015/11/03 | Page 8 LLRF for XFEL > LLRF: DESY in-kind  26 RF stations (808 cavities, 101 cryomodules)  MicroTCA-based LLRF system, master / slave  Vector sum (32 cavities) RF control  Motorized cavity tuners  2 piezo per cavities (1kHz tuning)  Motorized Q L, one-time fixed power ratios KLYSTRON CM1 (8 cav.) CM2 (8 cav.)CM3 (8 cav.) CM4 (8 cav,) LLRF master LLRF slave BEAM MicroTCA supporting modules RF parameters:  Pulse length 1.4msec ( usec)  Q L = 4.6e6 (½ bw = 140 Hz)  10 Hz rep. rate  ΔA/A = 0.01% ΔΦ = 0.01 deg. Talk by Julien Branlard, Th. Main challenge: Overall complexity > 3000 RF signals to be processed High requirements dA/A<1e-4, d  <0.01° No / difficult access to system  Very careful low noise and low drift design  Redundancy were ever possible + sufficient diagnostics and remote controls Hardware production: over 2000 complex units and more than different 30 unit types Mass production: QE/QC, many vendors had to be trained some vendors failed….
