Progress Update on XBOX-1 Tech Developments - July 31, 2013

This update outlines key advancements for the XBOX-1 project as of July 31, 2013. Highlights include the introduction of a new 16-bit attenuator and PID control for amplitude adjustments, along with the reinstatement of the E-logbook featuring almost daily updates. A communication issue with ECL counters has been identified, causing a 24-hour delay. Successful operation with uncompressed pulses reaching 19.8 MW at 68 MV/m has been achieved alongside significant conditioning efforts at CERN T26. Enhanced software now monitors pulse width for improved system reliability.

  1. XBOX-1 Progress 31st July 2013

  2. Progress • New 16-bit attenuator and PID control for amplitude. • E-logbook is back with regular (almost daily updates). • ECL counters communication problem (24hr delay) • Started running with uncompressed pulse 19-07-2013. • DAC which creates the phase program for pulse compressor had been “updated” by control group. We ran without a compressed pulse up to ~10MW. • Shortly after the pulse compressor was brought back online it detuned due to a pause in running. System was restarted with RF -> 10MW 1.5us pulse into the structure-> new software written to monitor pulse width and shut-down if needed. • 19.8 MW 68MV/m reached at 50ns so far…

  3. 128 hrs of CERN T26 Conditioning (50ns pulse) Heavy Clustering occurred due to PC detuning-> 1.5us pulse into structure. No damage done (hopefully) only ~100 BDs and low power <10MW. Problem has been fixed with addition of pulse width monitor.
