• FONT4 installation was dismantled when ATF extraction line was reconfigured late 2008

• 3 new BPMs and 2 new kickers installed in new ATF2 extraction line week of February 9

• Main aims:

1) commission new BPMs and kickers (digital DAQ)

2) work on improved resolution 1 um level

3) understand beam dynamics in FONT region• Much commissioning work done parasitically - now have

FONT ‘standalone’ hardware• We typically took 1 shift per week March - May, a total of 6

shifts (!)

• We take 714 MHz signal from machine as LO signal for down-mixing of BPM signals

• Frequency divide 714 MHz to obtain 357 MHz for clocking the FONT digital FB board

• We observed phase jumps between 357 and 714 MHz signals

Phase stability of 357 vs. 714 MHz

• We take 714 MHz signal from machine as LO signal for down-mixing of BPM signals

• Frequency divide 714 MHz to obtain 357 MHz for clocking the FONT digital FB board

• We observed phase jumps between 357 and 714 MHz signals

• A 180-degree shift of 357 MHz would cause ADC sample to miss beam by 2.8ns reduce signal by up to 50%

• We tried ‘stable’ source of 714 MHz derived from frequency generator phase-locked to master oscillator

• New FONT5 9-channel FB/FF board (y, y’) assembled (Sept. 2009)

• Bench tested in Oxford (October)• Sent to KEK (November) for beam tests• Shipped back and repaired (1 week turnaround)• Now undergoing further beam tests

looks very promising

• Bottom stripline had 20 db lower response• Pickup removed from beamline and examined

during November down week• Lot of dust found inside!• Noticed that bottom electrode closer to BPM

housing than other electrodes – fabrication error?• BPM rotated by 90 degrees and reinstalled• Will be replaced in December shutdown• BPM had been removed in summer for welding of

bellows: probably rotated by 90 degrees then

• New BPMs and kickers installed + working• FONT5 FB board fabricated and commissioned• FB loop closed• Beam quality is a serious issue:

banana-train can be tuned away (or corrected)large jitter and lack of correlation between bunches are major

problems(sometimes jitter is small and well correlated!)

THIS WILL NOT BE BETTER WITH 30 BUNCHES!
