SDA Analysis

• The Shot Data Analysis (SDA)  tools developed by
  CD and AD allow us to study offline the
  performance of the accelerator complex. 
• The project consists of writing specific analysis
  classes based on the existing SDA software
• (i) Provide tables of beam physics variables
  such as beam lifetime, emittances, luminosities
  summarizing the performance of the machine for a
  given store
• (ii) dedicated analysis, studying the performance
  of a particular beam physics topic or a
  particular instrument.
• (K.L.G.) Detailed studies of the Tevatron flying
  wires system, leading to a deeper understanding
  of the beam's emittances and the tevatron lattice
• (P.L.) Studies of diffusions mechanism and
  related lifetimes.  
• Results are presented to the Instrumentation
  group and the Tevatron Dept and particular on a
  weekly basis. 
• SDA tools, such as SDAViewer, StoreChecker, etc,
  are discussed during the weekly SDA meeting with
  members of AD/Integration and AD/Controls.

SDA Analysis

• CD P. Lebrun, K. Genser AD contacts J.
  Slaughter, V.Lebedev
• Start Date April 2002, project is ongoing
• Level of effort 1.25 FTE currently
• Progress status  
• KLG is currently studying the effective emittance
  (emittance measured via luminosity counters) and
  the Flying Wires.  Documents are in the AD DocDB.
  
• KLG also has made substantial contributions to
  the Derived Table effort by validating the
  algorithms used to compute the emittances in the
  Super Table and in the Open Access Client process
  that is used online. 
• A major rewrite of the set of classes for
  emittance calculations has been done
• P.L. is implementing analysis classes for the
  Tune Fitters.
• Two PAC03 publications on SDA results last year
  one on Luminosity calculation and one on beam
  lifetime during stores and Intra-Beam
  scattering.

Java Controls Application Tutorial

• Develop a class/tutorial on the developing
  Accelerator Controls Application in Java.
• Suzanne Panacek plans to teach this class in the
  training room, so that people can use the work
  done in class as a spring board for their
  development.
• CD Suzanne Panacek
• AD contacts J. Slaughter and Controls group
• Project Status on goingStart Date  12/2003
  End Date  March, April 2004Brief  report on
  progress 
• Suzanne spent time in the Main Control room to
  meet the people and study the use of the existing
  Accelerator Controls Applications.
• She has modified an modified application to use
  as an example and has identified 4 steps to teach
  a developer how to get from nothing to a live
  graph of the intensity.
• the first draft of the four lessons is done and
  is Currently working on a web site for the class

11
BLASTdb Accelerator Magnet Database

• Create and do early populating and critical
  applications for a modern and maintainable
  unifying several sources of magnet and alignment
  data "owned" by Accelerator and Technical
  divisions.
• Milestones agreed on are
• Agreement on what we are doing.
• Creation of a good database, meeting agreed key
  purposes
• Repository for the data previously in N.
  Gelfand's database
• Adequate scheme for accepting new survey data
• Repository for some part of the "other" data that
  AD has   currently in pseudo- and real
  databases.
• Use case applications for populating and simple
  access.
• Refinement of that database, for decent
  performance, completion of schema to include all
  the critical data categories, and incorporation
  of all formulas needed for users to conveniently
  access data in their preferred forms.
• Incorporation of other data sets for maximal
  usefulness to AD and TD.

12
BLASTdb

• CD Dennis Box developer (60-70) AD contact J.
  Butler
• Start Date  10/03 End Date     4/04
• Status
• A good agreement on what is to be done is in
  place (milestone 0).
• Milestone 1 was recently met, at about 20 more
  time than original estimate.
• Dennis is coordinating with users to see how to
  make DBoptimally useful.  Smooth incorporation
  of the alignment data would be the goal to meet
  in the next couple of weeks, along with one or
  two "big win" use case applications
• There should be a meeting next week to discuss
  aspects of additional crucial data to be
  incorporated this is logically part of milestone
  3. (May require additional manpower)

13
Beam Smoothing Tools

• Provide a set of tools to enhance the Tevatron
  Beam Orbit Smoothing process. These include
  better visualization capabilities and algorithms
  to determine optimal DFGsettings based on a
  sequence of BPM-reading snapshots.
• Milestones includes
• Development of visualization capabilities
  "off-line".
• Development of optimization capabilities
  "off-line".
• Integration into the control system for maximum
  convenience to the accel. division users.
• Work on hold pending completion of the Cusper
  project.Start Date  10/02 End Date     8/04
• CD Mark Fischler and John Marraffino AD M.
  Martens
• Rudimentary visualization in an inherently
  off-line form isdeveloped, in common with the
  CUsper project. An understanding of the
  problems, issues, and theory is in hand. Actual
  work toward providing an orbit-smooth calculator
  will start after the CUsper) is near completion.

14
Tevatron Cusper Software

• Software to accept orbit snapshot data from the
  Tevatron BPMs, and using heuristics, fitting, and
  AI techniques,
• determine which measurements are likely due to
  unreliable BPM readouts (reject these)
• calculate the best fit to a theoretically
  justifiable curve with multiple "cusps due to
  field distortions
• These results will be valuable for Beam Smoothing
  and possibly for understanding sources and causes
  of luminosity decrease.
• There are 4 main milestones
• Ability to parse Tevatron lattice file and
  snapshot files,   and produce viewably curves
  and rudimentary fits.
• "Theoretical cusper" with intelligence thought to
  be suficient for analysis of single-frame
  snapshots.
• Exploration of how well this does when faced with
  actual Tevatron data, and tuning of cusper for
  best performance.
• Interfacing cusper into the control-room-usable
  system.

15
Tevatron Cusper Software

• Start Date  2/03 End Date  5/04
• Mark Fischler, John Marraffino AD M. Martens
• Status
• Milestone 0 completed
• Milestone 1 near completion (about 4 weeks)
• Milestone 2 should take 4 weeks of 1/2 time work
  for team
• Milestone 3 should take 6 weeks of 1/2 time work
  for team
• It may be desirable, particularly if the BPM's
  have frequent unreliable readings, or if the
  Tevatron data is particularly noisy, to extend to
  incorporate an entire multi-frame snapshot
  (time-series of frames) to refine the positioning
  of distortions and identification of
  mal-functioning BPM's.
• Until some experience is gained with the
  single-frame cusper, it will not be known whether
  this is desired.

16
Tevatron Tune Fitters

• Short Description  The tune fitters are software
  packages which report fitted values of the
  betatron tune and ancillary quantities such as
  the chromaticity of the Tevatron. 
• Two distinct resonators are currently installed
  the old 21.4 MHz  and the new (installed a year
  and 1//2 ago)  1.7 GHz Schottky detectors.
• The 21.4 MHz system is a relatively narrow band
  system, reporting precise tunes (up to 5 Hz/47.7
  10-5) for beams with a small momentum spread.
  
• The second one (1.7 GHz) has a much smaller Q
  (broad band) and is therefore  able to see
  individual proton bunches. 
• Ongoing. End Date   Beginning of  FY-05. 
• CD P. Lebrun
• Level of Effort
• last 4 months  CP/CEPA/APS 75 AD/Controls
  1.0 FTE
• Before, 50 FTE from CP/CEPA/APS. Also 1/4
  AD/Tevatron FTE over the last 4 months.

17
Tevatron Tune Fitters

• Progress Status   in both cases (21.4 MHz / 1.7
  GHz) the software has been designed.
• 21.4 MHz upgrade
• Hardware purchase done, mostly. We have the
  digitizer board and VME system.  We might have to
  beg to buy additional linux server
• Software Implementation VME/VxWork ongoing (J.
  You)  About to test this new system with fake
  signals.  Next step is to validate the FFT's and
  averaging done on in VxWork. After that, upgrade
  the existing tevtune OAC and the fitters.
• 1.7 GHz   The C/Root fitter, OAC (written by
  Z. Yuan from AD/Controls)  and the GUI  99 is
  written and being commissioned. 
• Results are encouraging we recently established
  the  head-on beam-beam tune shift time dependence
  during stores and compared it to predicted
  values, successfully.
• The second milestone is to see the bunch number
  dependency of the beam-beam tune shift (due to
  parasitic collisions).  We reached this
  milestone a few days ago, we will need
  confirmation.
