BLM Specification
A single BLM will be placed in each of the gaps between undulator modules.
Design is to maximize the sensitivity of the monitorLocated as close as possible to the beam axis as the vacuum chamber allows
Choose a sensitive Cerenkov medium coupled to a high gain photomultiplier tube
The detector will not be segmented to provide transverse position information of the losses

Beam Loss Monitor Control
BLM Rolls Out with Undulator Magnet
The BLM is mounted to tightly surround the vacuum pipe near the beam finder wire
It is on a linear slide so that it can be moved off the beam when the undulator magnet is rolled out
An detachable arm makes the BLM and magnet roll out together
The BLM will automatically be less sensitive to beam loss when the undulator is in the out position
The BLM can be manually inserted on the beam pipe for special calibration procedures

Beam Loss Monitor Control
BLM reliability and self test
Each loss monitor is equipped with a LED that flashes between beam pulses.
Provides a pre-beam test of the BLM system before beam is sent through the undulator
Provides a stay-alive signal for the control system to monitor the BLM system during operation
Josh Stein10.31.07
Beam Loss Monitor Control
BLM dynamic range
For simplicity and cost the BLM will be optimized for maximum sensitivity And allowed to saturate the signal if a large loss occurs
The trip threshold is still exceeded if the device saturates so the MPS will still trip and protect the undulatorMonitoring of the loss signal to integrate the dose received by the undulator will not be valid if the device saturatesHowever, if large losses are anticipated such as when the beam finder wires are inserted, the gain of the PMT will be reduced to prevent saturation.

BLM Signal Monitoring
The BLM has a fast, dedicated link to the MPS to shutoff the beam within 1 pulseThe local MPS link node chassis also has a ‘slow’ network connection to the control system via channel access
Allows monitoring of the BLM level at any timeReads back and controls the PMT voltageControls the LED test pulseControls the threshold set point for MPS trips

BLM Controls Architecture pk
The BLM PMT interfaces to the MPS link node chassis.
The IO board of the MPS link node chassis provides the ADC & DAC for the PMT.
A cable interface box is the treaty point between the MPS and the undulator BLM.
There are 5 link node chasses serving up to 8 BLMs along the undulator. (expandable to 16 channels)

BLM System Support Focus Topics1. Assignment of Eric Norum to controls design oversight and testing.
2. Funding of beam based prototyping and test program.
3. Group Leaders to significantly step up direct involvement in system oversight, program implementation, and schedule tracking (controls: n. arnold, diag: g. decker, lcls: g. pile, ops/analysis: m. borland).
4. Active participation in simulations and simulation priority from slac.
5. Implementation of upstream profile monitor (halo or at min. cal foil).
6. Adequate analysis and shielding of upstream beam dump.
7. Develop long term collaboration plan for the pursuit of determining magnet damage mechanisms and thresholds via empirical methods.
8. Determine need and priority of BLM signal integration (diagnostic).

Summary
Undulator magnets protection is critical for machine commissioning period.
Schedule for development of the blm program is very aggressive and Funding is limited.
System design and fabrication must go in parallel with simulation and testing program.
Consider Minimum requirements for first level implementation. Taking advantage of existing mps infrastructure.
BLM system is now defined as a component of the mps with an upgrade path to a diagnostic (low gain detection).
36 distributed channels (2 static devices) capable of single pulse detection and rate limiting reaction.
Detectors track with undulator position with detach option for manual operation.
Calibration plan and hardware is vital to proper system operation (Threshold detection with empirically derived levels).

BLM Purpose h-dn
The BLM will be used for two purposes:
A: Inhibit bunches following an “above-threshold” radiation event.
B: Keep track of the accumulated exposure of the magnets in each undulator.
Purpose A is of highest priority. It will be integrated into the Machine Protection System (MPS) and requires only limited dynamic range from the detectors.
Purpose B is also desirable for understanding long-term magnet damage in combination with the undulator exchange program but requires a large dynamic range for the radiation detector (order 106 ) and much more sophisticated diagnostics hard and software.

BLM requirements pk
Primary function of the BLM is to indicate to the MPS if losses exceed preset thresholds.
MPS processor will rate limit the beam according to which threshold was exceeded and what the current beam rate is.
The thresholds will be empirically determined by inserting a thin obstruction upstream of the undulator.
Simulation of losses and damage in the undulator will proceed in parallel with the present effort.
