Digital bunch-by-bunch transverse feedback system at SSRF

In order to suppress multi-bunch couple instabilities caused by transverse impedance, a bunch-by-bunch transverse feedback system based on a FPGA digital processor is commissioned at SSRF storage ring. The RF front end has two COD pre-rejected attenuators for increasing the system arrangement and signal noise ratio, and the 3*RF Local signal comes from the BPM’s sum signal using a FIR filter for avoiding the effect of longitudinal oscillation. The digital processor receives the coupled horizontal and vertical oscillation signals in the base band and transforms the coupled signals to the horizontal and vertical feedback signals with two series double-zeroes FIR filters. A matlab GUI is applied for producing the FIR coefficients when the tune is shifted. The horizontal and vertical Kickers have a special design for increasing the shunt impedance. Then the multi-bunch instabilities are suppressed respectively and the minimum damping time is about 0.4 ms.

     

Transfiguration of extracting mirror in synchrotron radiation system at SSRF

The first extracting mirror is very important for synchrotron radiation monitor (SRM). The SRM system of SSRF (Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility) should extract the visible light with low optical distortion. The analysis of SR power spectrum and heat transfiguration based on Matlab is introduced in this paper, which will be used in calibration. One beryllium mirror with water-cooling is used to transmit X-ray and reflect visible light to satisfy the measurement request. The existing system suffers from a dynamic problem in some beam physics study. The system includes optics, image acquisition and interferometers. One of the instruments is a digital camera providing the image of the beam transverse profile. The hardware configuration will be summarized. The synchrotron radiation measurement system has been in operation in SSRF for more than one year.     

Transportation of dynamic biochemical signals in non-reversing oscillatory flows in blood vessels

Biological processes and behaviors of endothelial cells on the inner surfaces of blood vessels are regulated by the stimulation from biochemical signals contained in the blood.In this paper,the transportation of dynamic biochemical signals in non-reversing oscillatory flows in blood vessels is analyzed by numerically solving a nonlinear governing equation for the time-dependent Taylor-Aris dispersion.Results show that the nonlinear frequency-amplitude modulation of the transportation of biochemical signals is more(less) significant when the frequency of an oscillatory flow is close to(higher than) that of an oscillatory signal.Under steady flow,the transfer function for the signal transmission system is obtained,showing that the system is a low-pass filter.Lower inner radius or higher center-line velocity of a blood vessel increases the cutoff frequency of the transportation system.These results suggest the possibility and condition for the ’remote’ transmission of low-frequency dynamic biochemical signals in pulsatile blood flows.
