RHIC Beam Abort Kicker Power Supply System Commissioning Experience and Remaining Issues
نویسندگان
چکیده
The RHIC Beam Abort Kicker Power Supply Systems commissioning experience and the remaining issues will be reported in this paper. The RHIC Blue Ring Beam Abort Kicker Power Supply System initial commissioning took place in June 1999. Its identical system in Yellow Ring was brought on line during Spring 2000. Each of the RHIC Beam Abort Kicker Power Supply Systems consists of five high voltage modulators and subsystems. These systems are critical devices for RHIC machine protection and environmental protection. They are required to be effective, reliable and operating with sufficient redundancy to safely abort the beam to its beam dump at the end of accumulation or at any time when they are commanded. To deflect 66 GeV ion beam to the beam absorbers, the RHIC Beam Abort Kicker Power Supply Systems were operated at 22 kV level. The RHIC 2000 commissioning run was very successful.

The Rhic Beam Abort Kicker System*
The energy stored in the RHIC beam is about 200 kJ per ring at design energy and intensity. To prevent quenching of the superconducting magnets or material damage, the beam will be safely disposed of by an internal beam abort system, which includes the kicker magnets, the pulsed power supplies, and the dump absorber. Disposal of heavy ions, such as gold, imposes design constraints more severe t...
متن کاملMeasured Transverse Coupling Impedance of Rhic Injection and Abort Kickers*
Concerns regarding possible transverse instabilities in RHIC and the SNS pointed to the need for measurements of the transverse coupling impedance of ring components. The impedance of the RHIC injection and abort kicker was measured using the conventional method based on the S21 forward transmission coefficient. A commercial 450 Ω twin-wire Lecher line were used and the data was interpreted via...
متن کاملPreparing Accelerator Systems for the RHIC Sextant Commissioning
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) construction is progressing steadily towards completion in 1999 when beams will circulate in both collider rings. One of the major tests of the RHIC project was the commissioning of the first sextant with gold ion beams in early 1997. This is a report on preparation of the RHIC accelerator systems for the first sextant test. It includes beam position m...
متن کاملDesign Aspects Related to the Reliability of the Control Architecture of the Lhc Beam Dump Kicker Systems
The LHC beam dump extraction kicker system consists per ring of 15 magnets and their pulse generators. Their task is to extract the beams on request, over the whole operational beam energy range and synchronously with the beam abort gap. This operation must be fail-safe to avoid damage to accelerator equipment by undesired beam losses. The control system of the LHC beam dump kickers will be bas...
متن کاملCommissioning Run of the Long-baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiment at the 12-gev Kek-ps
A prompt report for the commissioning run of the longbaseline neutrino oscillation experiments will be presented. Improvement of the KEK-PS main ring has been performed for recent years in order to prepare the long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. Intensity upgrade studies and the hard ware improvements result in a factor of 50% increase in the beam intensity to 5-6 × 10 ppp up to now....
