PIP Update

Aug 6th 2012

Agenda

• Summary Update– Current Activities

• Bill Pellico – • N Eddy - Linac BPMs

UpdateGeneral Info• Current Work

– Booster RF cavity 5 now being refurbished (putting on tuners)– Linac Transformer – Plant visit today by EE support, still working out details of install– Booster temp transformer installed – new one in 8 – 9 months– LCW – Work Continues – looks to be on schedule– RFQ – beam tests continue – next slide– REPORT for High Power – Preparing for submission to Directorate for approval– High Power Ferrite Testing - 5KW amp test done on old ferrite – still no notable lose?– Booster Absorber – absorber on aisle and parts being machined – – Linac Modulator – Testing at 7 for DTI – Modulator – SLAC will be in on Aug 27 to discuss their work– Booster Modulators – Aug. schedule says we should see have of Mods completed?

Shutdown - comments (Fernanda, Todd, Mary)?PIP PMG August 2nd – Went well – a lot of details

– TOPIC Presenter Time Description– Introduction/Management Pellico 20 Minutes History, goals and guidelines– Linac Fernanda 20 Minutes Linac (tasks, milestones/goals)– Booster Keith 20 Minutes Booster (tasks, milestones/ goals)– RLS/Project Controls Elmie 15 Minutes RLS schedule – base line/update(s) – Budget Constraints Bob 15 Minutes Budget and targeted goals issues

FY12 Budget (~84% of FY)

Look at Task funds – make sure youas managers know what the balance is!!

Testing of RFQ – Schedule

•Emittance Measurements• This week•RF Bunching Measurements• Maybe end of week – or early next•Run at operational level for a week•Review Schedule•Declare Start Date

Work still needs to be done on:Vacuum TestingSecond SourceLEBT Stand mechanics – slideEinzel Lens triggingMEBT stand – not yet receivedVacuum – Argonne GasSimulations – flatness questionExtractor second supplyExtractor Safety Switch

Linac/400 MeV BPM System Status

PIP Meeting8/8/12

9

Production Board Status (6/6/12)

• Received first fully stuffed production board before shutdown for checkout

• Found error in PCB– Require remaking 80 PCBs– Delay Assembly– $5k additional cost– $10k additional cost due to parts• 10 Additional boards + Prototypes

• New PCBs in production• Assembled boards ~1 month

10

Production Board Status

• PCB manufacturer had issues with first run, boards failed testing– Lost their production line manager

• They had to re-run the boards – 6 week delay• PCB boards are now complete & tested and

were all delivered to the assembly house• Expect first golden sample from assembly

house by next week

11

Production Board Status Cont’d

• Plan thorough checkout of the golden sample before releasing– Will include installing in LE Linac

• Once released assembly of all boards will be complete in 4 weeks– Expect all boards delivered by mid September

• Boards will be bench tested then can be installed– Will start with LE Linac– If feasible, all boards could be beam tested in LE

Linac before installation elsewhere

12

LE Linac Beam Tests

• Work underway to instrument bpms (2H, 2V) from tank 3 with new electronics– Electronics installed last week (prototype)– ACNET device conversion underway

• Will install golden sample when available• Expand to include all LE bpms which see beam

during NTF running

13

Software Status• Provide average Position, Intensity, & Relative

Phase over each beam pulse for every BPM @15Hz – in ACNET via linac controls

• Have an OAC to perform setup and control– Read/Write all control registers– Synchronized waveform readback• Position, Intensity, Phase @3MHz

– Calibration control– Basic functionality tested

14

400 MeV Line Software

• Current 400 MeV Line bpms use different electronics, readout, and application software

• Had several meetings to discuss options• Plan is to extend Linac Controls readout to

these bpms– Existing front-end vme processors will be used– Readout structure will be tweaked to support

existing 400 MeV BPM applications

15

Plan

• Complete conversion of LE Linac bpms to new system– Network connections done– Need to provide 805MHz– Replace these boards with Production boards once

available

• Will replace the rest of the crates as Production boards become available– Driven by board checkout – May rotate them through LE section for beam checkout– Expect all new boards installed early next year
