2     2010-11-17 Wed 14:52 BTeam Meeting Notes

  2.1  Optics-on-Call Report: Spata
       the 9.6kHz vertical easter egg hunt
       * present focus is on the pre-buncher as the source or amplifier of
         the problem.
       * Is there information to be gained by simulating or trying to
         simulating the effect? CASA will look into this.

  2.2  Beam Studies Report: All
       * M_56 issues, diagnostics and training. "The Friday Event"
          o what is the design sensitivity of the device? 10mV/degree?
          o Injector to north linac match came late in the game, but
            match happened without too much issue.
       * Two Wien setup
          o nice setup, too bad we mucked it up my pulling the Vertical
            Wien HV.
          o made more complicated then it needs to be by having the
            pre-buncher scrunched between the two Wiens. No action, but
            Reza should take note of this comment and incorporate it
            into the 12GeV injector design. In other words, we are going
            to live with this situation at least to the end of the 6GeV
            program.
       * DONE form a RAR committee to investigate Thursday/Friday tune time
            Krafft Arne
         DEADLINE: 2010-11-19 Fri
         More than 8 hours of downtime is associated with the last Thursday
         and Friday activities. There is room for improvement and this
         event provides an opportunity to review how Optics tuning is
         performed, tools are calibrated/documented and any other
         operational aspects of achieving efficient deterministic beam
         tuning exercises.
       * DONE write charge to the committee Krafft Arne
         DEADLINE: 2010-11-23 Tue
       * Plans for Thursday and Tuesday Beam studies
          o heat/activate schedule: To be determined by Thursday's QE
            scan. (0.5h)
             + if needed to get through Thanksgiving, will do this on
               Monday
             + otherwise defer to after Thanksgiving
          o Re-instate the Vertical Wien (0.5h)
          o Investigate pre-buncher electronics (1h)
          o recalibrate the Vertical Wien
          o Reestablish high current setup with max gradient of
            pre-buncher of 2.0? depends on what they find with the
            pre-buncher investigation.
          o pre-buncher options
             + network analyze the output of the amplifiers
             + install more supplemental amplifiers
             + run with reduced amplitudes on the pre-buncher

2.3  FY11 Bteam Projects
       * 12GeV Pathlength resolution
         DEADLINE: 2010-12-20 Mon
         finish off the 12GeV pathlength issues and get definitive answer
         from 12GeV. Remaining issues:
          o TODO Analysis of the Sep. 2010 LCW heatrise test Krafft
            DEADLINE: 2010-12-06 Mon
            Write a tech-note summarizing the data and results. No
            interpretation required, that goes in the next document. Jay
            is the contact point on the data. Casa will supply the words
            and analysis. The basic goal is to take all the pictures in
            the Elog of the pathlength scopes and from that calculate
            the pathlength change as a function of time. Overly or
            correlate the temperature data (in a separate file/format)
            with the pathlength data. From this we should be able to get
            some information on pathlength vs tunnel temperature.
          o TODO document Update/table with agreed upon requirements Tiefen
            DEADLINE: 2010-12-06 Mon
            Finish/polish off Tief's tech-note on pathlength. Include
            reference of the Sept. LCW heat test to cap the maximum
            excursion expected. This is a requirements document, not a
            design document.(just a reminder)
          o TODO Transfer to 12GeV Pilat Arne Krafft
            DEADLINE: 2010-12-20 Mon
       * Pathlenth adjustment via MO frequency changes
         Develop the requirements for this new tool so that
         Eng/AHLA/Controls/OPS can work on developing a complete tool for
         routine operations.
          o TODO Draft of requirements Tiefen
            DEADLINE: 2011-08-15 Mon
          o TODO Project Charter written and team formed Tiefen
            DEADLINE: 2011-09-19 Mon
          o TODO Requirements review, reiterated upon and accepted BTEAM
            DEADLINE: 2011-10-03 Mon
          o TODO Project goals, milestones and work effort established
            AHLA ENG OPS
            DEADLINE: 2011-10-10 Mon
       * RayTrace
         If this is to be a part of the 12GeV tool chest, would like to see
         prototyping and requirements of what this tool is and how AHLA can
         help. LOCO techniques might be more applicable. Future talk to
         B-team from Yves on the path forward.
       * Other 12GeV required projects?
          o shims on BW to test modeling of dog-leg
            The shunts will be installed during the 6-months for
            understanding dog-legs? Power supply management issue. Low
            impact.
          o Synchrotron light ports
            Arc9, Arc8, Arc7, Arc10, four in each arcs. Arc8 would be
            best to do this summer, at least the vacuum chambers.
                + estimate is about 17k per synchrotron port. Is this
                  just the vacuum chamber?
                + benefit would be continuous monitoring of the beam
                + perhaps need 80k this year to do Arc8.
                + Need to enter project into the AWP system. Initially
                  as an unfunded priority and then we will see if it
                  fits within future AIP or general RSR funding profiles.
          o Moving harps around
            completing the BSY diagnostic suite. This is funded as the
            completion of the AIP BSY.
                + TODO Present final plan Benesch
                  DEADLINE: 2010-12-01 Wed
                  Include upgrading quad power supplies to aid
                  collecting quad scan data through the minimum.


2.4  Optics model update Arne
      This is a modest change/correction to the present design
      optics. The goal is to correct some errors that crept into the
      system, mostly in Arc1 and Arc2. My working notes are attached,
      these notes represent where I was on this project in April of
      this year. Basically Arc1 is in reasonable shape. I need to move
      onto Arc2 and then complete the process.

      For the Jan 2011 download, no changes to the element definitions
      other than quad design strength will be made. Subsequent studies
      in the first half of 2011 will tell us if we need to change any
      dipole body gradients or RF modeling parameters. In other words
      this is a small change (see the table in the attached document)

       * Arc1 ala elegant
       * realtime CS tool? Geoff brought up the fact that if the elegant
         model is used to define the design, than the CS tool should
         reference the elegant model. Unfortunately upgraded CS tool to
         use the elegant infrastructure is not on the FY11 plan
         (probably hopefully FY12). Michael T. pointed out that the BPM
         noise is probably larger than the design noise. Looking over
         the table in the document there is one quad that has a 10%
         change between optim and elegant. Perhaps this quad will be
         noise. We will have to make note of these special quads. We
         can also think about converting from elegant to optim so that
         the CS tool will pick up these changes in the interim. No
         action other than a discussion with AHLA to see if there are
         any mitigating efforts that can/should be made.


2.5  Anything else?
      * Optics-on-call over Thanksgiving? Krafft Hofler
        Don't touch anything!
