Conditioning of BPM pickup signals for operations of the Duke storage ring with a wide range of single-bunch current

The Duke storage ring is a dedicated driver for the storage ring based oscillator free-electron lasers（FELs）, and the High Intensity Gamma-ray Source（HIGS）. It is operated with a beam current ranging from about1 mA to 100 mA per bunch for various operations and accelerator physics studies. High performance operations of the FEL and γ-ray source require a stable electron beam orbit, which has been realized by the global orbit feedback system. As a critical part of the orbit feedback system, the electron beam position monitors（BPMs） are required to be able to precisely measure the electron beam orbit in a wide range of the single-bunch current. However, the high peak voltage of the BPM pickups associated with high single-bunch current degrades the performance of the BPM electronics, and can potentially damage the BPM electronics. A signal conditioning method using low pass filters is developed to reduce the peak voltage to protect the BPM electronics, and to make the BPMs capable of working with a wide range of single-bunch current. Simulations and electron beam based tests are performed. The results show that the Duke storage ring BPM system is capable of providing precise orbit measurements to ensure highly stable FEL and HIGS operations.

fs-level laser–RF synchronization with a fiber-loop optical-microwave phase detector

In order to improve the precision of the laser–radio-frequency(RF) synchronization system from sub-picosecond to femtosecond(fs), a synchronization system between a picosecond laser and a 1.3 GHz RF generator has been developed based on a fiber-loop optical-microwave phase detector(FLOM-PD). Synchronization with fs-level(3.8 fs) rms jitter, integrated from 10 Hz to 1 MHz, is achieved for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, in this kind of configuration. This system will be used for the superconducting RF accelerator at Peking University.
