FIG. 7.5: Schematic of the experimental setup using a 3-stub tuner to damp the loaded Q of a mode. systems. Like the cavity-based feedback, a beam-based feedback does not interfere with the machine optics and like beam optical control, the threshold current can, in principle, be increased by an order of magnitude or more. This section describes the results of initial studies concerning the viability of implementing a beam-based feedback system in an ERL and the anticipated effects on the BBU threshold current. 7.2.1 Overview Conceptually, a transverse feedback system is simple. A sensor, or pickup, is used to measure the beam displacement at a location in the machine. A kicker is located downstream and imparts an angular kick to the beam proportional to the offset signal detected at the pickup. The correcting kick may be applied on the same turn or on subsequent revolutions, it may be applied to the same bunch that 167 produced the signal at the pickup or it may act on preceding or following bunches.
All of these considerations are contingent upon the type of machine one is dealing with, the type and nature of the beam instability to control and the signal processing required of the system, among other things. Feedback systems have long been successfully used in storage rings. However, there are fundamental differences in designing a system for an energy recovery linac, namely the fact that the beam spends a relatively short time in the machine. Ideally the feedback system will correct the same bunch that produced the error signal, but in an ERL the beam typically makes only two passes through the machine, requiring that the bunch be corrected on the same turn on which the signal was detected. This imposes stringent requirements on the signal processing time and instrumentation electronics to the extent that such a system may not be practical. Consider, for example, the feedback time budget for the FEL Upgrade Driver. The recirculation time is 433.200 ns. In terms of time management, the ideal place- ment of the pickup is immediately downstream of zone 4 and the ideal placement of the kicker is immediately upstream of zone 2 and the distance between the two is approximately 50 m. For optimal feedback performance, for each bunch that gets a correcting kick, the error signal used is the one generated by that same bunch - that is, the condition where the feedback time delay, td, is zero. Yet, after taking into account the propagation time for a signal from the pickup to reach the kicker, only a few tens of nanoseconds remain in the time budget for processing the raw BPM signal, generating a suitable error signal and supplying sufficient gain. It is therefore not immediately clear whether adequate suppression can be achieved for td = 0. Using an analytic model of BBU which incorporates the effects of a feedback system and also using the results of a recently developed BBU code to simulate the effects of feedback on the system’s stability, it appears that a bunch-by-bunch feed- 168 back system may be feasible.
