19. A.Blas AB/RF/FB APC meeting 20/4/2007 19 PS TFB MTE blow-up at 14 GeV, Oct.2006, A. Franchi, S. Gilardoni, M. Giovannozzi, D. Quatraro See APC slides 9 March 2007 26 GeV, LHC beam transverse damping, Oct. - Nov. 2006. R. Steerenberg, G. Arduini, E. Benedetto, H.Damereau, A. Grudiev, W. Höfle, E. Métral,M. Morvillo, C. Rossi, G. Rumolo……. (APC slides 22 September and 15 December 2006) - Excitation–Damping test. Observation of the first betatron line amplitude: 5.7 ms damping time instead of 21 ms natural decay (100 to 5 %),with C10 cavities only active. No significant results with C20, C40 or C80 Problem found afterwards: Power resistors (200W CW, 3kW/2ms peak) dead !! MD’s

20. A.Blas AB/RF/FB APC meeting 20/4/2007 20 PS TFB Summary The transverse feedback system is waiting for its VME electronic core to be completed. For this unit, the time table is under discussion The system is ready for another set of measurements on the 26 GeV flat-top. The system is ppm => parallel MDs
