PS Transverse Feedback Pick-up Amplifier


The pick-up electrodes

The CODD pick-up electrodes consist of four plates, shaped to obtain a linear characteristic w.r.t. displacement, and equal inter-electrode capacitances.

The electrodes cover 62mm along the beam direction. For relatively low frequencies, up to 100MHz or so, the total electrode capacitance Cel is to be taken as 400pF and is composed of the four PU plates, plus the capacitance of the short bits of transmission line up to the vacuum feedthroughs. This yields an open circuit transfer resistance of Rt=l/(cCel)=0.52 Ohms, where c is the speed of light. (For higher frequencies, the internal transmission lines can no longer be considered as lumped capacitors.)

The position of a charged particle beam between the electrodes can be found by calculating:

where Δx is the difference of the two horizontal electrode signals, and Σ is the sum of all of them.
The pick-up dedicated to the transverse feedback system is installed in PS straight section 98. A second PU has been added and resides in straight section 02. (Both PUs are on the outside of the ring and cannot be seen.)
