CHG0 to HERO An Update to the Fermilab Booster DCCT

Conference ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1998923· OSTI ID:1998923

The Booster complex at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory uses a DC Current Transformer (DCCT) in conjunction with analog circuitry to measure intensity of the circulating beam during the acceleration cycle. This measurement is affectionately known as Charge Zero (CHG0). This platform has been updated to a Bergoz New Parametric Current Transformer (NPCT) and FPGA Data Acquisition System that digitally normalizes beam current to provide a High-quality E12 Read Out (HERO) for the PIP-II era.
