Fast Orbit Feedback and Beam Stability at the Swiss Light Source
- Paul Scherrer Institute, Villigen/PSI (Switzerland)
A global, fast orbit feedback (FOFB) based on the digital beam position monitor (DBPM) system has been in user operation at the Swiss Light Source (SLS) since November 2003. The SVD-based correction scheme acts at a sampling rate of 4 kHz using position information from all 72 DBPM stations and applying corrections with all 72 horizontal and 72 vertical corrector magnets. As a result, the FOFB successfully damps orbit distortions, which are mainly caused by ground and girder vibrations as well as the 3-Hz booster crosstalk. It also allows fast and independent ID gap changes, which are completely transparent to all SLS users. With top-up as a regular operation mode at SLS, global beam stability on a {mu}m-level has been achieved from days to milliseconds.
