Empty-bucket techniques for spill-quality improvement at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron

Synchrotrons can provide long spills of particles by employing resonant extraction where the circulating beam is slowly ejected over thousands to millions of turns by exploiting the amplitude growth caused by a transverse resonance. In the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), this method is used to satisfy the experimental requests of the North Area. [...]

Beam Performance with the LHC Injectors Upgrade

The LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project was put in place between 2010 and 2021 to increase the intensity and brightness in the LHC injectors to match the challenging requirements of the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project, while ensuring reliable operation of the injectors complex up to the end of the HL-LHC era (ca. 2040).

The CERN SPS Low Level RF: embedded acquisition system for the Cavity-Controller and Beam-Control commissioning and diagnostics
/ Egli, J (CERN) ; Baudrenghien, P (CERN) ; Hagmann, G (CERN) ; Spierer, A (CERN) ; Suminski, M (CERN)
The CERN SPS Low Level RF (LLRF) has undergone a major upgrade, including the complete redesign of the 200MHz Cavity-Controller and the Beam-Control during the Long Shutdown (2018-21). This upgrade was motivated by the required doubling of the beam intensity in the SPS for the High Luminosity LHC project (HL-LHC). [...]

SPS fixed target spill quality improvements in the longitudinal plane
/ Papotti, Giulia (CERN) ; Spierer, Arthur (CERN) ; Quartullo, Danilo (CERN) ; Hagmann, Gregoire (CERN) ; Karpov, Ivan (CERN) ; Piandani, Roberto (San Luis Potosi U.)
The SPS proton fixed target beams are spilled via a third integer resonant extraction, for which high momentum spread is beneficial. To increase the momentum spread prior to the slow extraction, the bunches are stretched at the unstable phase by inverting the sign of the RF voltage. [...]

RF techniques for spill quality improvement in the SPS
/ Sota, P A Arrutia (CERN ; JAI, UK) ; Fraser, M A (CERN) ; Velotti, F M (CERN) ; Burrows, P N (JAI, UK) ; Kain, V (CERN) ; Papotti, G (CERN) ; Piandani, R (CERN ; San Luis Potosi U.) ; Roncarolo, F (CERN) ; Spierer, A (CERN) ; Vadai, M (CERN)
The CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) aims at providing stable proton spills of several seconds to the North Area (NA) fixed target experiments via third-integer resonant slow extraction. However, low-frequency power converter ripple (primarily at 50 and 100 Hz) and high-frequency structures (mainly at harmonics of the revolution frequency) modulate the extracted intensity, which can compromise the performance of the data acquisition systems of the NA experiments. [...]

The CERN SPS Low level RF: The Cavity-Controller
/ Hagmann, Gregoire (CERN) ; Baudrenghien, Philippe (CERN) ; Egli, Julien (CERN) ; Spierer, Arthur (CERN) ; Sumiński, Maciej (CERN) ; Włostowski, Tomasz (CERN)
This paper is the second of a series of three on the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) Low Level RF (LLRF) upgrade. It covers the 200MHz Cavity-Controller part, that is responsible for the regulation of the accelerating field in a single SPS cavity. [...]
