This document reviews the Abort Gap Integrator (AGI) used in the Tevatron operations at FNAL, highlighting its functionality and importance. The AGI measures beam dynamics within the abort gap, a critical area in beam physics where sensitive measurements are taken during abort sequences. Through the use of synchrotron radiation and advanced detection apparatus, the AGI provides crucial data for preventing quenches and detecting beam losses. The presentation discusses apparatus commissioning, data acquisition, and ongoing studies, ensuring effective monitoring within the Tevatron's operational framework.

  1. Monitor of Beam in theAbort Gap a.k.a.Abort Gap Integrator (AGI) Randy Thurman-Keup DOE Review of Tevatron Operations at FNAL March 29-31, 2005

  2. AGI – TeV Bunch Structure Bunch 21 buckets 1113 RF buckets total • The Tevatron operates with 36 bunches in 3 groups called trains • Between each train there is an abort gap that is 139 RF buckets long • RF bucket is 18.8 ns  Abort gap is 2.6 ms Train 139 buckets Abort Gap R. Thurman-Keup - DOE Review

  3. AGI - Motivation • During an abort • Abort kicker magnet ramps up during abort gap • Beam in the abort gap is directed towards magnets, CDF, etc… • Quenches (in the past, 10 x 109 caused quenches) • CDF silicon detector damage • Previous monitors relied on counters external to the beampipe that were timed with abort gap • Measured stuff leaving the abort gap, not stuff still in it • Use synchrotron radiation to directly measure abort gap beam • Want to be sensitive to a DC beam that is 1 part in 104 of the total beam R. Thurman-Keup - DOE Review

  4. AGI - Apparatus • Made use of existing synchrotron light system • Measures beam profile • Added beam splitter and gated photomultiplier tube • Photomultiplier had to be gateable and insensitive to light present just before the gate (bunch intensity is several thousand times brighter than DC beam) • Custom gating circuit for generic photomultiplier • Pulse two dynodes • Hamamatsu gated MCP style PMT on loan from LBNL R. Thurman-Keup - DOE Review

  5. AGI - Apparatus R. Thurman-Keup - DOE Review

  6. AGI – Data Acquisition • PMT signal is integrated and digitized using locally built integrator and commercial VME ADC • Readout is through a VxWorks front end which also controls the timing of the PMT and integrator gates • Average 1000 samples in each of the 3 abort gaps R. Thurman-Keup - DOE Review

  7. AGI – Commissioning • Installed ~June 2004 • LBNL gated MCP-PMT installed ~July 2004 and in use since then • Calibrations • Bunch based (using an optical attenuator) • TeV Electron Lens (TEL) based • TEL normally cleans the abort gaps • Turn TEL off and compare growth of abort gap beam with total beam from DCCT measurement • Looked at abort gap structure using photon counting R. Thurman-Keup - DOE Review

  8. AGI – TEL Study December 2004 AGI’s Total Beam • When TEL is turned off, DC beam stops being ejected and accumulates around the ring including the abort gap • The beam loss rate decreases • Determine excess beam by measuring deviation of total beam from projected value with TEL on TEL R. Thurman-Keup - DOE Review

  9. AGI – TEL Study Abort gap beam per AGI (3 gaps) June 2004 Abort gap beam per total beam deviation from TEL on Abort gap beam per Synclite Projected total beam from TEL on subtracted from total beam TEL R. Thurman-Keup - DOE Review

  10. AGI - Status Beginning of store March 2005 TeV Energy AGI1, AGI2, and AGI3 are measurements of the abort gap beam at three different positions within the abort gap Their behavior depends on their position relative to the action of the TEL TEL AGI3 AGI2 TEL On AGI1 AGI2 AGI1 AGI3 Abort Gap R. Thurman-Keup - DOE Review

  11. AGI – Status • Longitudinal Damper problem • Caused beam to be shaken out of the bunches Feb 21, 2005 R. Thurman-Keup - DOE Review

  12. AGI – Longitudinal Structure Bunch 36 is 2 ms to the left of this plot These data were collected using a PMT pulse-over-threshold counting technique The red crosses show the location of the center of the RF buckets. These small bunches are ~105 smaller than a normal bunch R. Thurman-Keup - DOE Review

  13. AGI – Conclusion • Integral part of TeV operations • Checked by the sequencer before normal beam aborts • Watched by CDF and MCR • i.e. I get paged when it hiccups • Next Steps • Measure pbars in abort gaps (TeV request) • Consider separating the abort gap monitor from the normal synchrotron light system R. Thurman-Keup - DOE Review
