Orbit Correction Methods - Basic Formulation, Current Applications at Jefferson Lab, and Future Possibilities
A. Orbit Correction System Optimization: Recipes for optimizing an orbit correction system configuration at the design level are presented. Linear algebraic tools are applied to various flavors of response matrices to uniformly control unobservability, uncorrectability, and response matrix singularity. Application at Jefferson Lab is discussed. B. Orbit Correction at Jefferson Lab: Unique challenges posed by orbit correction, as well as algorithms and tools developed at the CEBAF accelerator at Jefferson Lab are discussed. C. Orbit Interpretation and Virtual Monitors: A new approach to developing an orbit correction package with software structural, algorithmic and operational advantages is introduced. It consists of an orbit interpretation module, a virtual monitor module, and a generic steering engine. Mathematical formulation, algorithms prototyped and tested on simulated and real data, and future possibilities are discussed.
