Title: Operational performance of a bunch by bunch digital damper in the Fermilab Main Injector

Conference ·
OSTI ID:15017091

We have implemented a transverse and longitudinal bunch by bunch digital damper system in the Fermilab Main Injector, using a single digital board for all 3 coordinates. The system has been commissioned over the last year, and is now operational in all MI cycles, damping beam bunched at both 53MHz and 2.5MHz. We describe the performance of this system both for collider operations and high-intensity running for the NuMI project, operating with a full ring and sometimes with only a few buckets populated.
