System overview for the multi-element corrector magnets and controls for the Fermilab Booster

Abstract

To better control the beam position, tune, and chromaticity in the Fermilab Booster synchrotron, a new package of six corrector elements has been designed, incorporating both normal and skew orientations of dipole, quadrupole, and sextupole magnets. The devices are under construction and will be installed in 48 locations in the Booster accelerator. Each of these 288 corrector magnets will be individually powered. Each of the magnets will be individually controlled using operator programmed current ramps designed specifically for each type of Booster acceleration cycle. This paper provides an overview of the corrector magnet installation in the accelerator enclosure, power and sensor interconnections, specifications for the switch-mode power supplies, rack and equipment layouts, controls and interlock electronics, and the features of the operator interface for programming the current ramps and adjusting the timing of the system triggers

New corrector system for the Fermilab Booster

“…The details of the corrector fabrication, testing, installation, power supplies and control are described in other contributions to this conference [4][5] [6]. Each of the six elements in each of the 48 corrector packages will have a dedicated power supply.…”

Design and Fabrication of a Multi-Element Corrector Magnet for the Fermilab Booster

“…he magnet specifications for the 48 new corrector magnets for the Fermilab Booster synchrotron were driven by the accelerator requirements, geometrical constraints, and power supply considerations, which are discussed elsewhere [1] - [4]. This paper presents the current status of corrector package design, fabrication, magnetic field measurements and thermal tests results.…”
