Typical RF signals Drive beam generated with PETS Klystron generated with pulse compressor • Pre-pulse • Triangular shape (recirculation) • Quite stable pulse 24/7 • Often instable pulse (and trips) • Great flexibility in pulse • Pulse length and power not really length and power flexible After-pulse in case of BD: reflected power perturbation on RF generator HG 2013 3 -6 may 2013 Trieste W. Farabolini 3
Stability of the RF power Many beam trips Two Beam Test Stand : beam generated power with RF recirculation Energy reduction after BD detection X-Box 1 : Klystron generated power with pulse compression HG 2013 3 -6 may 2013 Trieste W. Farabolini 4
Data production • Total number of RF pulses – ACS 1 in TBTS about 3 millions (0. 8 Hz repetition rate) – T 24 : over 98 millions (50 Hz repetition rate) – TD 24 R 05 : over 144 millions (4. 3 millions per day max ) • Total number of BDs – ACS 1 in TBTS about 10000 (? ) (10 -2 < BDR < 10 -3) – T 24 : 3502 (BDR = 3. 6 10 -5) – TD 24 R 05 : 7278 (BDR = 5. 0 10 -5) • Total number of 8 hours data log (about 40 Mbit each) processed – ACS 1 in TBTS : few 10’ – T 24 : 116 – TD 24 R 05 : 228 HG 2013 3 -6 may 2013 Trieste W.

BD location determination Reflected rising edge time Transmitted falling edge time 1 st method Input falling edge Dt between Reflected rising edge and Transmitted falling edge (BD start) time Reflected falling edge time 2 nd method (echo) Dt (correlation) between Input falling edge and Reflected falling edge (BD end) Edge detection is always tricky especially for the transmitted signal (BD ignition time) • Cross-correlation method is much more robust but possibly biased (needs strong HG 2013 3 -6 may 2013 Trieste W. Farabolini 8 and structured Reflected signal) •
Delays as function of cell # Effect of tapered cells Accuracy : 3. 5 ns per cell (RF input side) / 7. 5 ns per cell (RF output side) Sampling rate: 1 ns on TBTS, 4 ns on X-Box (log detector), but 1 ns available HG 2013 3 -6 may 2013 Trieste W. Farabolini 9

2 examples of 8 hours sequences • During BD cluster a hot cell (# 4 or # 5) appears • Blue marks show failures in BD location, often related to no current in FCU (red dots) HG 2013 3 -6 may 2013 Trieste W. Farabolini 15

Research of precursors in FCU and Reflected RF peak values Uncalibrated data Motivation: Y. Ashkenazy, using stochastic theory for RF breakdown analysis, this WS • • Faraday cup currents are negative (either dark current or BD burst). -1: saturated. Reflected RF power are positive. Background levels (offset) are suppressed. All these signals are used to detect BDs and the 2 previous pulses are also data logged. HG 2013 3 -6 may 2013 Trieste W. Farabolini 17

BDR as function of Power (2) Upstream new ACS Previous ACS RF power density of Probability of all RF pulses (blue), of RF pulse with BD (red) and power law fit of BD probability (green) • Fitting the Power distribution when BD by a power law of the power distribution of all pulses provide an exponent between 12 and 18. HG 2013 3 -6 may 2013 Trieste W. Farabolini 21
Distribution of the number of RF pulses between BDs (clusters problem) BD count evolution shows several period of intense BDs activity: clusters HG 2013 3 -6 may 2013 Trieste • Inside clusters the BD probability becomes very high. • Discarding BDs within clusters allows to focus on the stationary BD statistics, well fitted by a Poisson law W.

Ignition and falling edge duration Ignition Falling Can it be related to neutrals and ions growth as shown by K. Sjobak , this WS ? HG 2013 3 -6 may 2013 Trieste Two categories of Mean falling edge 50 ns BDs : fast/slow (for commuting 50 MW) ignition time Mean ignition duration 40 ns W. Farabolini 23
Structure RF analysis after removal Jiaru Shi, analysis of T 18 • R. Wegner found identical results for the 1 st structure tested in TBTS • However cutting it with wire is delicate since activated (pb. of the TBTS) HFSS result: Iris deform 10 um ~ 2 MHz • Great interest in the “internal geometry measurement tool” presented by M. Aicheler, this WS HG 2013 3 -6 may 2013 Trieste W. Farabolini 24
Conclusion • Stand alone test stand provide a incredible capability of massive results production. • Fitting on of them with beam capability will be ideal. • BD theory / modeling and experimental activities can gain a lot in exchanging ideas and suggestions of tests.

Typical RF signals during BDs in TBTS Ignition Exposure Falling • Transmitted falling edge and Reflected rising edge supposed to be produced synchronously (ignition only absorbs power, not reflects) • Early BDs reflected power disrupts Input power (recirculation process in PETS) • Transmitted phase quite stable up to the falling edge (even during ignition) • Reflected phase can drift or jump a lot (Input phase disruption and/or BD displacement? ) HG 2013 3 -6 may 2013 Trieste W.
