Control System Design and Implementation of In-Vacuum Undulators for Taiwan Photon Source

An insertion device (ID) is a crucial component in a third-generation synchrotron light source, which produces highly brilliant, forward-directed, and quasi-monochromatic radiation over a broad energy range. The Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) project involves building another synchrotron light source with increased electron energy. In phase I of TPS, seven in-vacuum undulators with magnetic period 22 mm (IU22) were installed; commissioning is in process. The control system for IU22 is based on an EPICS framework. The main control components include motors with encoders for gap adjustment, trimming power supplies for corrector magnets, ion pumps and Bayard-Alpert gauges for vacuum systems, temperature sensors for ID baking, and an interlock system (limit switches, emergency button) for safety. The design and implementation of the IU22 control system are summarized in this report.

Revision of Booster to Storage Ring Transport Line Design and Injection Scheme for Top-Up Operation at NSRRC

In order to help the operation of constant current, the optics of booster to storage ring transport line (BTS) design is reinvestigated[1]. The initial Twiss parameters are derived by measurement. The optics of the transport line is readjusted according to the measured initial beam parameters. The design of pulse width of the injection kicker is also changed from 1.2 μs to 2.0 μs. The injection scheme is reviewed and the effects of the kicker error on both injected and stored beam are investigated and shown in this report.

Beam loss studies at the Taiwan Photon Source

PIN-photodiodes and RadFETs are installed in the storage ring of the Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) to study beam loss distributions and mechanisms. In the highest dose area, the radiation comes mainly from hard X-rays produced by synchrotron bending magnets. During beam cleaning and after replacing a vacuum chamber, losses due to inelastic Coulomb scattering occur mostly downstream from bending magnets while elastic scattering causes electrons to get lost mainly after an elliptically polarizing undulator which has a limited vertical aperture. During the injection period, the beam loss pattern can be changed by modifying injection conditions or lattice settings. The beam loss usually happens in the injection section and small-aperture section. The injection efficiency can be improved by minimizing the detected injection loss.

Methods to detect error sources and their application at the TPS

For a low-emittance photon light source, beam stability is a very important property to attain a high-quality photon beam. While it is hard to avoid beam perturbations in a storage ring, it is more important to quickly find the source locations and to remove or eliminate the sources as soon as possible. In this report, we develop a method to identify the locations of multiple sources. For a source with a particular frequency, the relative phase between sources can also be obtained. This method has been a useful tool during TPS operation and its methodology and practical applications are described in this report.

Commissioning of the Bunch-by-Bunch Transverse Feedback System for the TPS Storage Ring

Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) finished its Phase II commissioning in December of 2015 after installation of two superconducting RF cavities and ten sets of insertion devices in mid-2015. The storage ring achieved to store beam current up to 520 mA. Intensive insertion devices commissioning were performed in the second quarter of 2016 and delivered beam for beam-line commissioning and performed pilot experiments. One horizontal stripline kicker and two vertical stripline kickers were installed in May 2015. Bunch-by-bunch feedback system were commissioning in the last quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016. Commercial available feedback processors and power amplifiers were selected for the feedback system integration. Beam property and performance of the feedback system were measured. Problems and follow-up measures are also addressed. Results will be summarized in this report. INTRODUCTION The TPS is a 3 GeV synchrotron light source which was performed Phase I commissioning without insertion devices (ID) and with two 5-cell Petra cavities in the last quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2015 up to 100 mA stored beam [1]. Phase–II commissioning was done in the last quarter of 2015 with 10 sets of IDs and two KEKBtype superconducting RF modules and reached 520 mA stored beam maximum. Transverse coupled-bunch instability, caused by the resistive wall impedance and fast ion will deteriorate beam quality. Bunch-by-bunch feedback will suppress various transverse instabilities to ensure TPS achieve its design goals. Vertical bunch by bunch feedback loop was commissioning [2] in the first quarter of 2015 with prototype vertical kicker to test functionality includes feedback, bunch cleaning, single bunch transfer function, tune measurement. Power amplifier from AR and R&K were tested. One horizontal kicker and two vertical kickers were installed in the shutdown period of the second and the third quarter of 2015. Commissioning of both planes with insertion devices operation was started in the last quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016. Threshold current for the longitudinal instability appeared at ~80 mA when using with two 5-cell Petra cavities without insertion devices. Longitudinal instability disappeared up to 500 mA stored beam current during phase-II commissioning equip with two KEK-B type superconducting cavities with 10 sets of insertion devices in the last quarter of 2015. Transverse instabilities are dominated by wall resistivity and ion in TPS storage ring. STATUS OF THE FEEDBACK SYSTEM Two vertical kickers and one horizontal kicker were installed during mid-2015 shutdown. Concept of these kickers is derives from the design of PSI/SLS [3] and adapt to fit vacuum duct of TPS at ID straight. Length of the electrode is 300 mm. Shunt impedance at low frequency is about 40 k and 25 k for vertical and horizontal kicker respectively, Perspective drawing and installation at the storage ring are shown in Fig. 1. To save space to accommodate more insertion devices, all kickers install at upstream of in-vacuum undulator (IU22) at three 7 m long straight. Three kickers are distributed at three short straight. This prevents the option to install all feedback electronics at the same site. Three in-vacuum insertion devices were install at these kickers respectively. The horizontal kicker was installed at upstream of SR03 (upstream straight of lattice cell #3), and two vertical kickers were installed at upstream cell SR11 and SR12. Feedback electronics for horizontal and vertical planes where installed at different areas in which shared RF frontend is impossible. The kicker electrodes are not well match to 50 Ohm. Measured impedance is around 75~95 Ohm between the feedthrough structure and electrode respect to the vacuum chamber. This leads to large broadband beam power picked up which prevent power amplifier work properly, high power low pass filter with cut off frequency 350 MHz were installed at each power amplifier output to block high frequency beam power to enter power amplifier output.

Feedback electronics of bunch-by-bunch equip feedback functionality, such as housing keep, filter design, timing adjustment, etc. It supports bunch oscillation data capture for analysis to deduce rich beam information, tune measurement, bunch clearing, beam excitation, etc. Features of the planned system include the latest high dynamic range ADC/DAC (12 bits), high performance FPGA, flexible signal processing chains, flexible filter design, bunch feedback, tune measurement, bunch † cheng.ys@nsrrc.org.tw WEPG02 Proceedings of IBIC2016, Barcelona, Spain ISBN 978-3-95450-177-9 612 C op yr ig ht

Design and Implementation of Control System for TPS Pulsed Magnet Power Supply

The Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) is the latest-generation 3-GeV synchrotron light source. A pulsed magnet power supply system to control injection and extraction of the electron beam has been designed and implemented. The experimental physics and industrial control system (EPICS)-embedded programmable logic controllers were developed to control the power supply for pulsed magnets. The system comprises various input/output modules and a CPU module with a built-in Ethernet interface. The control information (status of the power supply, on, off, warning, reset, read/set voltage, etc.) is remotely accessible with EPICS client tools. The TPS timing system provides trigger signals to synchronous power supply of the pulsed magnets. Ethernet-based oscilloscopes with EPICS support are employed to observe the current transformer waveforms of the pulsed magnet power supply. The implemented control system of this power supply satisfies complete system integration, rich graphical user interfaces, and useful diagnostic tools. It has been running with no downtime since mid-2014, which indicates high reliability. This paper describes the design of the control system, the synchronous trigger system, the real-time monitoring system, and the operational interfaces for the TPS pulsed magnet power supply.

Design and Performance Measurement of Control System for Elliptically Polarized Undulators in Taiwan Photon Source

In phase I of the Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) project, three elliptically polarized undulators (two EPU48 and one EPU46) are installed in the TPS storage ring. The control system for these EPU48 and EPU46 is based on the EPICS architecture; all control functionality is coordinated by the CompactPCI EPICS IOC. The main control components include motors with an encoder for gap adjustment and phase moving, a trimming power supply for corrector magnets, temperature sensors for environmental monitoring of the insertion devices, and an interlock system (limit switches, tilt sensor, emergency button) for safety. The closed-loop control is essential for the gap and phase motion to avoid the effects of magnetic forces. All motors of the gaps must be synchronized to move without tilt. An interface for ID beamline users is included to assist with experiments, such as to control the ID gap or phase and experiments on the fly. The features and benefits of the EPU48 and EPU46 control systems are summarized in this paper.

Transient Orbit of Injection in Taiwan Light Source Storage Ring

Top-up operation has been started since many years ago at Taiwan Light Source Storage Ring (TLS-SR). For this operation it is important to reduce the beam injections should not excite the oscillation of stored beams. For further reduction of these oscillations, corrections with injection kicker-magnets are used.The details of the study will be reported in this paper. INTRODUCTION This study aimed to minimize injection transverse beam oscillation of the Taiwan Light Source Storage Ring (TLS-SR). Artificial neural network (ANN) design software, known as computer-aided formula engineering (CAFE) [1], was used to analyze and optimize the injection kicker-magnets parameters of the storage ring. We aimed to identify the main influential the injection kicker-magnets parameters of the storage ring and, through optimization, develop the injection kickermagnets parameters of the storage ring adjustment program that best stability and minimizes injection transverse beam oscillations. RESEARCH PROCESS Artificial Neural Network ANNs are construction methods for nonlinear models. Among which, back-propagation networks (BPNs) are currently the most representative and commonly applied of the ANN learning models [2] [3]. Data Collection The equipment that affects the injection transverse beam oscillations includes injection kicker-magnets(1~4). Each device has a tuning knob for the magnet voltage and timing settings with 8 values. The beam injection oscillations is determined by the turn-by-turn Beam Position Monitor (BPM) system data for the 40∼340 turns integral value. Using MATLAB programming to establish the effective operating range of each quality factor, we employed a random number setting every minute to intercept different settings and response values. In total, 134 pieces of data were obtained.[4] ANN Trainand -Test Analysis After calculating the ANN model construction, we obtained the “trainand -test” error convergence curve, as shown in Fig. 1. They appear to converge after approximately 60 computations. Figure 1: The “trainand -test ” error convergence curve. The “trainand -test ” scatter plots for the training and test samples are shown in Figs. 2 and 3, respectively. Figure 2: The “trainand -test ” scatter plot of the training samples.
