Transverse multi bunch feedback principle Kicker Need real-time digital signal processing Match delays: t signal =t beam + MT 0 T0 : beam revolution time M=1: very common -> “One -Turn-Delay” feedback But M>1 also possible phase and delay adjustments t signal Signal processing gain g t beam D Pick-up 1 Pick-up 2 • damping: of transverse injection oscillations • feedback: curing transverse coupled bunch instabilities • excitation: of transverse oscillations for beam measurements & other applications LHC Commissioning Working Group

  4. Why do we need Transverse damper on day ONE ? damping: transverse injection oscillations -> filamentation of injection error will lead to larger transverse emittance w/o damper even for perfect steering there are errors from the injection kicker ripple (see next slides) excitation: damper can be easily used to do multiple excitations per cycle -> required for continuous tune measurement -> can be used to kick out unwanted beam (“abort gap cleaning”) -> making this mode operational requires software effort feedback: curing transverse coupled bunch instabilities -> will become important as intensity is raised, scrubbing in regime with e-cloud present LHC Commissioning Working Group
