A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007 Principle of the measurement The RF-pickup detector measures the power spectrum of the electromagnetic field of the bunch Picked-up using rectangular waveguide connected to the beam pipe, followed by a series of down-converting mixing stages and filters. For a given beam current, the larger the power spectrum amplitude, the shorter the bunch length. 4/24 Solid: σ t = 1 ps Dash: σ t = 2 ps Dash-dot: σ t = 3 ps Power Spectrum [a.u.] Freq [GHz]

A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007 Advantages –Non-intercepting / Non destructive –Easy to implement in the beam line –Relatively low cost (compared to streak camera and RF deflector) –Relatively good time resolution (ns) follow bunch length within the pulse duration –Measure a single bunch or a train of bunches –Relative calibration within measurements Short comings in the calibration –Beam position sensitive –Sensitive to changes in beam current At CTF3, the RF deflector and/or a streak camera can provide an excellent cross calibration of device Advantages of the RF-Pickup 5/24

Summary: Bunch Length detector A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007 RF-pickup has been successfully installed in the CT line in CTF3 –First bunch length measurement made as a function of phase on MKS15! –The Mixer & filter at 157 GHz was tested and works well. –The new acquires data digitizing scope successfully installed and online analysis and DAQ code tested and working. –Self calibration procedure stable Possible improvements to the setup: Improved RF diamond window for high frequencies is being machined and brazed and will be installed for future tests. An additional filter at 140 GHz, can provide additional flexibility in the detection of high frequency mixing stage 15/24
15
Beam Loss monitoring A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007 Full setup since 2003 3 detectors (SICs) installed per girder, with a cross calibration with Faraday cup Goal: To provide additional information along the girder that the BPM can’t provide Electronics with 2 gain ranges (x10 difference) 16/24
16
Reminder Beam Loss Monitoring on Linac A. Dabrowski, November 24 200417/24 Beam Loss Monitoring setup of Small Ionization Chambers and Faraday cups provides additional monitoring information complementary to BPM’s – Used at CTF3 since commissioning in 2003 (see talk 2004 collaboration meeting) – Setup sensitive to ‰ of the beam loss along the girder (sensitivity increases with a loss of timing resolution) Revisited system over the Fall 2006. –Modify electronics - Increased input impedance to gain additional sensitivity –Tested a Pre-Amplifier directly mounted onto the chamber was tested (supplied by Jim Crisp at Fermilab Beams division lot of experience building electronics for beam current monitors). –Assembled and tested Cherenkov fiber coupled to a Photomultiplier
17
Typical signals: Calibration Plateau Calibration Plateau for chambers (SIC) filled with He or Ar gas taken in the CTF3 machine, normalized to the Faraday cup Linear response between Chamber and Faraday cup Calibration Factor ~ 6 depending on beam loss shower shape A. Dabrowski, January 16 2007 Length of Plateau greater for Ar as expected. He breaks down at > 450 V 18/24 Time (ns) Bias Voltage (V)

Increased sensitivity in electronics A. Dabrowski, January 16 200719/24 BLM Girder 6 : - SIC Argon – amplifier 2k - Faraday cup Despite very low/NO losses measured by BPM, chambers provide good signals
19
Testing of Pre-amplifier A. Dabrowski, January 16 200720/24 BLM Girder 5 : - SIC Argon – Fermilab pre-amplifier - Faraday cup Shielded Pre-amplifier mounted directly to chamber improves sensitivity: additional modification to be made in the future to decrease decay time of the amplifier. Principle is encouraging
20
Test Cherenkov fiber coupled to a Photomultiplier BLM Girder 7: -Cherenkov fiber – PMT- no amplifier BLM Girder 6: -SIC He (2k amp) – 1 st Cavity -SIC Ar (2k amp) – QUAD -Faraday Cup (2k amp) - Quad Cherenkov fiber coupled to a PMT provides flexible and fast response BLM. Fused silica fiber supposed to be radiation hard up to 1Grad A. Dabrowski, January 16 200721/24
21
Conclusions A. Dabrowski, November 24 2004 Beam Loss Monitoring : Chambers are sensitive to beam loss along the girder …. Additional monitoring complementary to BPM has been used since 2003 In regions of very low loss, additional sensitivity can be obtained with loss of time resolution A pre-amplifier connected directly to the chamber tested and provides additional sensitivity A Cherenkov fiber when coupled to a PMT, can also be used as a beam loss detector. Bunch Length Measurement: Successful commissioning of the full detector in December 2006 Possible minor improvements to setup in future: Modifications to RF-window Additional filter at 140 GHz implemented in setup 22/24
