| Abstract | The SPS is equipped with a North extraction channel to a fixed target beam line. This channel is equipped with an extraction chain that comprises electrostatic and electromagnetic septa that contribute to the extraction process of the proton beam. The electrostatic septa (ZS) are the extraction elements that can cause the most problems during operation, this is mainly due to the combination of high fields and high voltages within the equipment. There are several systems that protect the equipment against the effects of which the 'ion trap system'. The ion trap is a cleaning electrode device and these are placed in the field-free region containing the circulating beam. They remove ions produced by beam interactions within the residual gas molecules. They are powered by power supplies that can output up to -10 kV with a range of -500 µA max. This internal note concerns the electronics and control of the ZS electrostatic septa ion traps. |
