Electronics and Algorithms for HOM Based Beam Diagnostics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The signals from the Higher Order Mode (HOM) ports on superconducting cavities can be used as beam position monitors and to do survey structure alignment. A HOM-based diagnostic system has been installed to instrument both couplers on each of the 40 cryogenic accelerating structures in the DESY TTF2 Linac. The electronics uses a single stage down conversion form the 1.7 GHz HOM spectral line to a 20MHz IF which ahs been digitized. The electronics is based on low cost surface mount components suitable for large scale production. The analysis of the HOM data is based on Singular Value Decomposition. The response of the OM modes is calibrated using conventional BPMs.

High Precision Sc Cavity Diagnostics with Hom Measurements
Experiments at the FLASH linac at DESY have demonstrated that the Higher Order Modes induced in Superconducting Cavities can be used to provide a variety of beam and cavity diagnostics. The centers of the cavities can be determined from the beam orbit which produces minimum power in the dipole HOM modes. The phase and amplitude of the dipole modes can be used as a high resolution beam position ...
متن کاملHigher Order Modes for Beam Diagnostics in Third Harmonic 3.9 Ghz Accelerating Modules
An international team is currently investigating the best way to use Higher Order Modes (HOM) for beam diagnostics in 3.9 GHz cavities. HOMs are excited by charged particles when passing through an accelerating structure. Third harmonic cavities working at 3.9 GHz have been installed in FLASH to linearize the bunch energy profile. A proof-of-principle of using HOMs for beam monitoring has been ...

This paper describes the synthesis of digitally excited pencil/flat top dual beams simultaneously in a linear antenna array constructed of isotropic elements. The objective is to generate a pencil/flat top beam pair using the excitations generated by the evolutionary algorithms.

متن کاملA Concatenation Scheme for the Computation of Beam Excited Higher Order Mode Port Signals
Ongoing studies [1, 2] investigate in how far higher order mode (HOM) port signals of superconducting RF cavities can be used for machine and beam diagnostics. Apart from experiments e.g. at the FLASH facility at DESY in Hamburg, numerical modelling is needed for the prediction of HOM coupler signals. For this purpose, the RF properties of the entire accelerating module have to be taken into ac...
