Before we begin...
I have stolen parts of this talk from Glen
White, Steve Smith, PT and then some..

Plan of Action

• Requirements of a feedback system.
• Current design
• Physical specs.
• Signal filtering electronics.
• Simulated performance.
• Current status and planned tests.
• Track reconstruction.
• A brief word on beam jitter.
• Short term and long term plans.

4
Fast Feedback - Who needs it?

• Jitter inherent in beams and accelerating
  structures - leads to relative position offset of
  beams.
• Position offset leads to
• large luminosity loss

5
Fast Feedback - System Constraints
A corrective feedback system needs to

• Recover significant amount of lost Luminosity.
• Correct offset within a single bunch train (266ns
  - hence fast...).
• Dominant time factor should be distance to IP,
  NOT speed of feedback - too fast for analytical
  electronics.
• Be unaffected by intra-train jitter..

6
NLC Fast Feedback System
Use beam-beam interaction to enhance offset
measurement

• System consists of 3 components
• BPM ( BPM processor).
• bunch charge gain adjuster.

• Kicker (and kicker driver).

7
Design of Feedback System

• Initial system design and proof of principle in
  Simulink simulation by Steve Smith.
• Glen White (Oxford) simulation makes a number of
  improvements
• Includes gain effects.
• Accurate beam-beam interaction model - original
  flat beyond 12s (GUINEA-PIG).
• Effects of intra-train (bunch-to-bunch) jitter
  considered.
• System currently only corrects position offset
  (no angle jitter).

What Happens Next?

• Bench test BPM electronics.
• Beam test of stripline BPM and electronics.
• Confirm design of kicker dimensions and power
  requirements - dependant upon location, train
  structure.
• Beam test of complete system (location on a need
  to know basis.).

• Reconstruction of tracks in beam test ? use PTs
  Collimator Wakefield Matlab routines.

16
Collimator Wakefields (PT)

• 4 collimation slots used.
• Determination of bunch kick due to wakefield
  effects.
• To reconstruct kicks
• Measure positions of bunches (25 per step) along
  sector 2.
• Subtract reference track (100 bunches).
• Use transport matrices to reconstruct bunch
  position and angle at slot.

Chart shows beam jitter (rms deviation from mean)
for 3 BPMs during 160 runs. Each point is rms of
y position for 100 bunches (1 reference

And Finally...

• Next step is to bench test BPM electronics.
• Start looking at possible solutions for kicker
  design.
• Longer term beam tests of BPM systems, kicker
  design and complete system.
• Very very long term install system in the NLC.
