Logic and control module for the Fermilab booster beam damper

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7107548
A logic and control module is included in the electronic system of the booster superdamper. This module produces a 9-bit digital word that controls the delay of beam bunch position information in the Fermilab booster synchrotron so that it arrives at the damping electrodes at the same time as the bunch of beam to be corrected. This delay word generator also has an output feature that only allows delay time decreases as the booster synchrotron frequency program increases monotonically. Such a feature guards against low-index incidental FM from affecting the delay computations.
