Title #1: Conceptual Design of the PETRA III Orbit Feedback
Abstract: DESY has decided to rebuild its 2304 m long accelerator PETRA II into a dedicated light source called PETRA III. The new light source will operate at an energy of 6 GeV a current of 100 mA a horizontal emittance of 1 nmrad and an emittance coupling of 1%. To obtain and maintain the small emittances imposes tight tolerances on spurious dispersion and orbit quality and stability. A fast orbit feedback is necessary to achieve the required orbit stability. The conceptual layout and the basic design parameters of the system will be given in this talk.

Title #1: Orbit Stability at the SLS
Abstract: Top-up operation has proven to be an important prerequisite for high orbit and energy stability at the SLS. The fast global orbit feedback running in user operation since ~1 year ensures a complete decoupling of the insertion device operation up to 100 Hz. Slow (<1Hz) X-BPM feedbacks running as an integral part of the fast global orbit feedback system following a cascased feedback scheme guarantee sub-micron stability of the photon beam positions. Several incidents related to the malfunctioning of the SLS cooling system have demonstrated how difficult it is to maintain the same high level of stability over weeks or even months if the operating conditions of the accelerator and the beamlines cannot be kept constant.

Title #1: DESIGN AND TEST OF A FAST FEEDBACKSYSTEM FOR ORBIT CORRECTION AT TTF AND VUV-FEL
Abstract: To achieve self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) for the VUV-FEL at DESY high orbit stability is required. Feedback systems will be needed to provide orbit corrections within the bunch train. A prototype of the complete vertical feedback system has been installed in the TESLA Test Facility at DESY. The use of digital signal processing techniques led to a fast and highly flexible solution for the controller function. Additional features such as data logging and analysis allow easy adjustment of the feedback parameters to achieve the optimum performance of the system. An overview of the system will be presented as well as the results of first measurements.

Title #1: Beam Stabilization in the SPring-8 Linac
Abstract: The SPring-8 storage ring has requested the injection of stable beams to realize a uniform bunch pattern in the stored beam and highly stabilized stored cuurent for the top-up operation. Now the SPring-8 injector linac has achieved the beam energy stability of 0.01% (rms). The beam stability of the SPring-8 linac has been improved by means of reducing RF variations providing beam energy compensation and introduction of beam trajectory feedback control: Variations in the RF power and phase have been reduced by improving the voltage regulation system for the klystron modulator and by stabilizing the temperature drift of the atmosphere and cooling water in order to reduce the phase variation. A new synchronous oscillator synchronizes a beam trigger pulse and a 2856 MHz reference signal. Variation in the beam charge was reduced by this synchronizing technique; the stabilized beam loading consequently resulted in the beam energy fluctuation of 0.01% rms. A beam energy compression system (ECS) was installed to compensate for accidental energy variation and reduce the energy spread due to beam loading. The reduced energy spread enabled the high-current injection without increasing beam loss. The feedback control of steering magnets compensates long-term variations of the beam trajectory at the end of the beam transport line.

Title #1: SLOW GLOBAL ORBIT FEEDBACK AT THE PLS
Abstract: A slow global orbit feedback was developed at PLS. The feedback uses the SVD (singular value decomposition) method and the MATLAB channel access to EPICS IOCs of BPMs and correctors and the feedback speed is 4 seconds. The orbit feedback uses 22 correctors in each plane which were improved to 20-bit capability in the vertical plane and 16-bit capability in the horizontal plane. The orbit stability can be maintained below 1 micro-meter in rms in both planes for one hour and 3 micro-meter for a 12-hour operation. To reduce the orbit variation due to insertion device operation a feedforward correction is incorporated for EPU (Elliptically Polarized Undulator) with a 10 Hz correction speed. It is found that the long term orbit variation is due to the false BPM reading coming from the Bergoz BPMs nonlinear intensity dependence and the vacuum chamber motion by synchrotron radiation thermal load change.

Title #1: The "Generic VME PMC Carrier Board": Status and Perspectives of a Common Digital Platform for Beam Diagnostics and Feedbacks at PSI
Abstract: The "generic VME PMC Carrier board" (VPC) was developed as a common digital hardware platform for beam diagnostics and feedback systems at PSI. The core of the board consists of two Virtex2Pro FPGAs with two on-chip PPC processors each a Sharc DSP and RAM. Customized analog frontend modules for the different applications of the VPC board can be interfaced to the board via two PMC mezzanine connectors or VMEbus P0/P2 backplane connectors. The multi-gigabit fiber optic transceivers of the VPC allow the acquisition and distribution of measurement data for fast global feedbacks. An overview of present and possible future applications of the VPC board will be given such as digital BPMs (DBPMs) for the PSI proton accelerators integration of X-ray BPMs in the SLS fast orbit feedback (FOFB) and upgrade options to replace the existing SLS DBPM/FOFB system with a VPC based platform.

Title #1: Orbit Stability at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Source
Abstract: A task force has been implemented at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory to improve the beam orbit stability in the 1.37 GeV electron storage ring. The main problems faced during this year (2004) were due to the installation of a second RF cavity in the machine. The interaction of the new cavity with the beam caused longitudinal dipole oscillations which appeared as a horizontal orbit distortion proportional to the second order dispersion function. To suppress this instability we have applied a phase modulation on the rf accelerating voltage. Other critical problem involves BPM readings which seems to be affected by the increased electromagnetic noise in the hall. A careful design for a shielding box for the electronics has been made and those are under construction.

Title #1: Orbit Stability at BESSY
Abstract: Traditionally intrinsic component stability as well as perturbation source identification and suppression (like set-up modifications or feed-forward compensations) have been the preferred methods used to guarantee beam orbit stability for user operation at BESSY. Second focus of activity is the reliability of slow drift control and the high degree of beam position reproducibility maintained under frequently changed operation conditions. Along these lines improvements as well as understanding of shortcomings have been achieved since IWBS02. In addition the need for a fast orbit feedback system has become obvious due to the constant introduction of ever new noise sources as well as the requests for new demanding operation modes. As a first step a fast BPM read-out and data distribution system has been set up. Pilot experiments with this system as well as usage of the diagnostic capabilities provide us with valuable experiences.

Title #1: Energy Calibration and Stability of the ANKA Storage Ring
Abstract: ANKA is a synchrotron light source located at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe Germany. In the course of daily operation the storage ring is ramped from the injection energy at 0.5 GeV to the final energy of 2.5 GeV. This causes thermally induced drifts in the bending field and therefore drifts of the beam energy following the ramp. The resulting orbit drifts have to be compensated by an automatic orbit correction program.To this ends the orbit correction algorithm changes the RF frequency to match the frequency for central quadrupole passage thereby changing the beam energy back to nominal. The accuracy of this procedure as well as its reproducibility have been checked using the method of resonant depolarisation. Longterm data logging gives the opportunity to study external influence like outside temperature. This presentation gives an overview over the studies performed at ANKA.

Abstract: X-ray absorption spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the investigation of surfaces and interfaces. Combined with polarization control it is ideal suited for the investigation of magnetic multilayer systems. The measurements require a frequent moving of gap and shift of the insertion devices. Combined with the aim of measuring small signals this puts great demands on the insertion devices and the orbit stability.

Abstract: The suppression of the fast orbit distortions was a concern at ESRF since the beginnig of the operation. Tools implemented to reduce these distortions include fast local and global orbit feedbacks installation of vibration damping pads on the magnet girders and feedforward corrections in function of the insertion device operation. A sum up of the evolution of the orbit stability achieved over the years thanks to the implementation of these systems will be given. The last addition to this scheme is the recent upgrade of the fast global orbit feedback.

Title #1: Stable beam and good data - Experience with beam (in-) stability at the SLS protein crystallography beamline X06SA
Abstract: Besides the low divergence of undulator beams beam stability is one of the most essential advantages of 3rd generation synchrotron sources over previous sources for protein crystallography. This is due to the trend to use crystals that previously would have been discarded as being too small for data collection because the beam intensity and size allow for it. Consequently small absolute beam position changes result in significant changes of the diffracted intensities. In the presentation different parameters and their influence on data quality will be discussed and they will also be compared to intrinsic sources of noise of the experiment.

Abstract: The main improvement of the orbit stability at the ALS during the last year was achieved by the introduction of a fast global orbit feedback system for routine user operation. With this sytem the short term vertical orbit stability at the ALS is now in the submicron range. In addition many studies were performed together with beamline users to evaluate transients due to injection elements and minimize their amplitude in preparation for top-off. Currently the project to upgrade the injector for full energy injection and modify the radiation protection systems for top-off are under way.

Title #1: Large Scale Orbit Correction for the LHC
Abstract: The LHC presently build at CERN is the first hadron collider that requires an orbit feedback control for safe and reliable machine operation. The feedback system consist of 1056 BPMs and 1060 CODs that cover the 27 km circumference. The present design uses a SVD based global orbit correction scheme and PID controller with Smith-Predictor extension. The central controller is implemented as a x86 based server that is connected to the BPM and COD front-ends using Gigabit Ethernet. Latencies of the network interfaces and the numerical complexity of the steering task in the central feedback controller are the identified bottlenecks of the system and controlled though network quality of service (QoS) and task scheduling. A complementary test bed has been developed that simulates the open-loop and orbit response in order to test and verify controller implementation and new control strategies.

Title #1: Present Status of Orbit Stability at SPring-8
Abstract: We have started so called "top-up operation" at SPring-8 since May this year. It is well known that this operation keeps the thermal equilibrium of vacuum chambers the inside atmosphere of the tunnel and X-ray beam optics. However due to the peculiar condition of SPring-8 the drastic improvement has not seen on beam orbit stability. On the other hand the top-up oeration reveals a new perturbation source which was burried in the noisy variation during the original non-top-up operation. We will be reporting the present status of the SPring-8 orbit stability especially focusing on the problems we are now facing to.

Title #2: New Approach to Correction of COD Caused by ID parameter Change
Abstract: We have developed a scheme for precisely correcting orbit variation caused by a dipole error-field of an insertion device (ID). For the precise correction extraction of a “real response” i.e. beam orbit variation by a change of the ID error-field is the key. To this end over a measurement period changeable parameters during an experiment a gap and a phase of ID are periodically changed with a mirror symmetric pattern. This operation modulates the real response measured by a couple of conventional wide frequency-band detectors. The real response is thus extracted precisely by adequate averaging and filtering procedures. Furthermore the mirror symmetric pattern enables us to separately extract the orbit variation by a static error field and that by a dynamic one e.g. an induced field by the dynamical change of the ID gap or phase. We built a real time measurement system with a sampling rate of 100Hz and applied the scheme to correct the orbit variation caused by the error-field of an APPLE–II type undulator installed in the SPring-8 storage ring. The obtained result shows that the developed scheme markedly improves the correction performance and can suppress the orbit variation by the ID error-field down to the level of one micron.

Title #1: Orbit Stabilization at the Large Hadron Collider
Abstract: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) under construction at CERN uses superconducting magnets to accelerate two high intensity proton beams from 450 GeV/c to 7 TeV/c where the beams are brought into collision at four interaction points. The energy stored in each beam 350 MJ exceeds by more than 2 orders of magnitude the levels of existing hadron machines. To safely and efficiently operate the LHC the orbit of both beams must be stabilized during all operational phases from injection to collisions. Stabilization constraints are particularly tight around the collimators that must intercept with high efficiency particles that drift to large amplitudes to prevent quenches of the superconducting magnets. For this reason the LHC will be the first hadron collider where a real-time orbit feedback is foreseen to stabilize the beams. This presentation will give an overview of the boundary conditions expected orbit perturbances and requirements for orbit stabilization at the LHC. Strategies for the design of the feedback system will be discussed.

Title #1: The optimization for the reduction of the vacuum chamber vibration via structure analysis
Abstract: As we have reported in previous IWBS we have found that the vibration of Al chambers inside the Q magnets doe to the cooling water flow makes beam orbit instability and we have succeeded to reduce them by adding chamber supports and modifying the water flow route. But the chamber vibration is still main source of beam instability in fast frequency region up to 200 Hz. In order to reduce this vibration further in the most optimized way we have established the method of optimization by means of computer aided engineering especially for 3D structure analysis.
