  1. Phase Synchronisation Systems Dr A.C. Dexter Overview Accelerator Synchronisation Examples Categories of Timing Problems Oscillators Clock to Accelerator Cavity Phase Locked Magnetrons RF Interferometers CLIC Crab Cavity Synchronisation Laser Timing Distribution Laser to RF Particle Accelerator Engineering, London, October 2014

  3. Categories of Timing Problems • Stability • Oscillators shift period with temperature, vibration etc. • Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) shifts period with applied voltage • Atomic clock Df/f ~ 10-14 ~ 60 fs per minute • Synchronisation • Two clocks with different periods at same place (Phase Locked Loop) • Identical delivery time/phase at two places (Crab Cavity Problem) • Same clock at two places • Resynchronisation requires constant propagation time of signal • Detector with high resolution and low noise • Trigger an event at a later and a different location • Needs two stable clocks which are synchronised (FEL problem) • Must be able to generate event from clock pulse with tiny jitter • Work at DESY and MIT suggest 10fs achievable
