CMS and future experiments Tactical Plan Strategy
Objectives for FY08

• CMS Pixel system integration
• Project completed at the beginning of FY08.
• Ryan Rivera spent 5 weeks _at_ CERN working on web
  based software supervision for the Pixel
  detector. Ryan going to CERN again (another 5
  weeks) before end of June.
• CMS upgrades
• Pixel detector power distribution. This is a big
  issue. The current Pixel detector draws 15,000
  amps! Power likely to go up for the upgrade. ASIC
  voltages keep dropping so current goes up. ESE
  proposal.
• Joint CMS-ATLAS effort for high speed
  optoelectronic links. Proposal for ESE
  participation has been made for
• Testing of off-the-shelf components (WP2.2)
• System level testing (WP1.2)

  or were incorporated to ESE tools in Jan. 08)

Low Level RF control at FNAL Photoinjector
DESY
ESECON LLRF controller

• High signal to noise ratio (SFDR -81.8db)
• Very low channel to channel crosstalk (s10-5)
• DSP and control algorithms.
• ESECON hardware, firmware and control algorithms
  have improved the RF regulation in different
  systems at Fermilab (i.e. SCRF cavities, RFGun,
  3.9 GHz cavity, HTS).
• ESECON was part of the LLRF system developed in
  collaboration with FNAL/AD that successfully
  controlled a cryomodule at DESY/FLASH in
  September 2007.

bandwidth. White shadow shows stability over 30
min. Field regulation 0.1 Phase regulation

17
HINS/Project X LLRF studies

• Theoretical analysis and simulations to optimize
  cavity gradients in pulsed Linacs using the
  transient cavity response.
• Some HINS/Project X RF units require operation
  with cavities at different synchronous phases and
  under different beam loading.
• Optimization is over one time programmable
  machine parameters (i.e. RF phase tuners,
  couplers, cavity tuners)

Traditional Steady State approach
New Transient Response approach

A beam stability analysis for the transient
response approach is being developed.

Set-up for SNAP CCD testing (not in current
version of ESE Tactical Plan)
Ken w/ Leach system

• Leach controller running using the LBNL version
  of Voodoo (Unix) or modified version for Windows
  (including the HV board).
• 4-channel PF adapter cards (2 types) finished.
• Cables and preamps finished and tested.
• Expect to be connecting to a CCD at SiDet this
  week.

ESE students and outreach

• ESE supports and benefits from several student
  and internship programs.
• FNAL Summer internship Jeff Okraku (Horehouse
  Colledge, Atlanta, Ga.)
• Divya Yadla, NIU
• Alejandro Vignoni, Univ. of La Plata (on-call
  program)
• Italian summer students from Pisa (Gianluca
  pagano coming July 21st)

C. Armiento, A. Vignoni

• Example of collaborative work
• Real-time LLRF cavity simulator
• Runs on ESECON Xilinx FPGA.
• Can be used to debug and test DSP and control
  strategies.
• AD, TD, ANL, and other national and international
  labs are interested.

Tactical plan Risks for FY08

• At least half of ESE labor is applied to
  cutting-edge engineering projects (RD) with the
  expectation that those projects will be approved
  and funded.
• ESE was severely hurt by ILC and Nova cuts.
  (10FTEs allocated in FY08 original Tactical
  Plan).
• CD and ESE management have been quite successful
  at reallocating effort to new tasks and
  experiments.
• Risk for the rest of FY08 is low.
