  2. BLM System Requirements • Protect the machine from high activation due to slow, low-level losses (1W/m criteria) • Protect the machine from radiation damage due to fast high-level losses (Beam Permit/Inhibit Link) • Provide measurements of loss for tuning • Will not be used for personnel safety SNS Beam Loss Monitor

  3. Ion Chamber SNS Beam Loss Monitor

  4. Gain and Threshold adjustment • Gain Programmable • Beam intensities • Ring varies 103 during macro-pulse • RTBT can vary 103 between single turn, full intensity • Detector shielding • Loss limit thresholds programmable • Individual Channel levels • Separate levels for Fast and Slow losses • Trip outputs can be masked for studies SNS Beam Loss Monitor

  7. BLM Distribution Total: 267 Ion Chambers in Linac, HEBT, Ring, & RTBT Linac DTL At tanks CCL At quads SRF On top of, and between doublets (4m apart) Transports At quads, collimators, dumps. Ring - 44 at quads (beta max) - Injection, extraction, collimators, RF - relocatable units SNS Beam Loss Monitor

  8. Linac Loss Monitors DTL 12 BLM’s, at each of the Tanks, Energy 2.5 to 86 MeV, length 36.5 m CCL 24 BLM’s, at every other Quad, Energy 86 to 186 MeV , length 55.4 m SRF 64 BLMs should be located above the doublets and midway between the doublets. This would space the BLMs at about 4 meters. Energy 186 to 949 MeV, length 235 m. SRF-64CCL-24DTL-12 SNS Beam Loss Monitor

  13. EXPECTED LOSSES • HEBT, Ring and RTBT designed to have collimators as limiting apertures • Can we have any losses at other points? • Gas stripping • Linac RF (HEBT losses) • First turn injection mis-steering • Kicker misfire • HEBT, RTBT steering mis-setting ? • Beam-on radiation dose rates • TN-077 has provided answers for collimators • Other papers? SNS Beam Loss Monitor

  14. DOSE RATES LIMITS • Slow Loss: 1 W/m limit • Corresponds to ~10-4 distributed around 248 m Ring or 4 x 10-7 of total beam lost per meter • Gives 60-100 mrad/hr at 1 ft beam-off activation • “Rule of thumb”: Multiply by 1000 to get corresponding average dose rate during beam on • Need to resolve 2 decades below this to reasonably measure 1 W/m (4 x 10-9 of total beam/meter ) • What is maximum Fast (high-end) loss? • If we take 1% lost at a single point the total range is 2.5 x 106 , equivalent to 21-bits + sign • May want several bits higher to not saturate ADC • Low-end resolution limited by noise and BW, upper end by detector or electronics saturation (BLM expected to show effects at 5-10% loss SNS Beam Loss Monitor

  15. Ion Chamber Loss Detectors Ion Chambers - Glass bottle Evolution: Tevatron RHIC SNS 725 mm of Argon, 113 cc volume, 2 KV bias. Response 70 nC/Rad, about 20 pA/Rad/hr. Individual Calibrations, 95% within +/- 5%. SNS Beam Loss Monitor

  17. Ion Chamber Dynamic Range - High Fast Response for Beam Abort (electrons only) For 10us rise time, BW would be 35 kHz. (550 pA noise) This reduces resolution to 30 Rad/hr Intention is to observe large fast losses 104 – 106 Rad/hr Upper Limit Tests at LANL indicate similar BLMs start to saturate at a dose of 106R/sec This corresponds to about 5-10 % loss of full beam at one location SNS Beam Loss Monitor

SNS BLM System - Summary • We are in the preliminary design stage. • Expected signals are well within the range of the proposed • detectors. • Electronics will be designed to measure high level losses over a • few turns, as well as low level losses over several cycles. • Integrated signal (weighted) sum over all detectors to compare • with the 1W/m criteria. • Every channel has adjustable thresholds and masks for the • Beam Abort System.
