The spoke CM tests at FREIA What we have, what we plan, what we don’t know… Konrad Gajewski FREIA Laboratory
FREIA Laboratory - infrastructure LHe cryo-plant The bunker Two 352 MHz 400 kW RF amplifiers RF switchboard, transfer lines, circulators, loads, etc. Horizontal cryostat (HNOSS) Deionized cooling water system Radiation monitoring system Oxygen deficiency detectors RF leakage detectors Weather station (temperature, humidity, pressure in the hall) 26-Oct-2017 Konrad Gajewski – The spoke CM tests @ FREIA
FREIA Laboratory – control system EPICS (ICS Development Environment) All subsystems connected to EPICS PLC for slow control (water, vacuum, interlocks, radiation protection) µTCA LLRF and timing (LU) cRIO for fast interlocks (programmed in LabVIEW) Almost all data archived using archive appliance (and CS-Studio archiver as backup) CS-Studio BEAST alarm server CS-Studio BOY as a primary user interface LabVIEW Most of the laboratory instruments (oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, power meters, vector network analyzer) NI PXIe fast data acquisition (10 channels, 250 Ms/s, input bandwidth 800 Mhz, Self Exited Loop) 26-Oct-2017 Konrad Gajewski – The spoke CM tests @ FREIA
Tests done so far – gained experience Copper cavity SEL RF calibration procedures instrumentation Single spoke cavity Cryogenics (cooling down, heat loads) gradient measurements Double spoke cavity power coupler and cavity conditioning (automatic procedure) high power tests: filling time, Lorentz force detuning Cold Tuner System 26-Oct-2017 Konrad Gajewski – The spoke CM tests @ FREIA
