Beam Instrumentation
Instrumentation systems for the normal conducting front end including current monitor, Doppler, ion chamber, neutron detectors, and more are being planned for deployment. Final design decisions need to be made to ensure functionality and commonality across similar systems.

Beam Instrumentation Focus for 2017: Transition to Front End Deployment January 2017 We are here Focus areas for front end: 1stprotons in Lund Catania: Commission, Support Install ! Decide Prototype Produce New Year 2017 midsummer gallery ready New Year 2018 Functionality documents Reviews Data management Verification plans Test systems Transition to site Commissioning plans Tactical response to issues Building blocks Agreement with ICS Document agreement at machine director level 11/01/2017 Tom Shea - NCFE meeting, Catania 3
Instrumentation Systems for the normal conducting front end we plan to deploy 13 in the warm front end Of the 23 system variants 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Current Monitor (BCM) Fast BCM Doppler (DPL) Allison scanner (EMU) Slit and grid (EMU) Faraday cup (FC) Long. Bunch Shape (BSM) Fluorescence NPM Wire Scanner (WS) Position Monitor (BPM) Fast BPM Ion Chamber Loss (icBLM) Neutron detectors (nBLM) We must now make final design decisions on these 13 For commonality, also make final decisions on similar systems 11/01/2017 4 Tom Shea - NCFE meeting, Catania
Working with Us: by System and by Technology System and Technology Leads (with our IK partner leads): By System EMU, FC, WS (Benjamin) BSM (Irena/Benjamin) NPM, Doppler (Cyrille) BCM (Hooman) BPM (Rafael) BLM (Irena/Tom) By Technology Mechanics (Thomas G) Electronics (Rafael) Software (Hinko) FPGA (Maurizio) Data Management (Johan/Slava) Requirements and Interface Management: By System Specification Document with L4 Requirements Functionality Document Verification Plan Commissioning Plan By Technology Mechanics: Catia/CHESS Electronics, Software, and FPGA: Building Blocks Data Management: Naming Tool, Cable Database, CCDB, etc Tom Shea - NCFE meeting, Catania 11/01/2017 5
Communication Head/ bottleneck Strive for an ideal situation: 1. Technical communications: System and Technology Leads coordinate directly with partners and stakeholders Team 1 Team 2 Team 3 Team 4 2. Decision-making and collaboration meetings: One face-to-face per three videoconferences Probability of weekly communications vs. distance 3. Expectation Management: System team of 4: BD Lead, IK Lead, Beam Physics and ICS. Coauthor: first proton functionality and commissioning plan. Graph: T. Allen, Sloan WP 165-97, MIT, 1997
Lessons Learned (a very tiny subset) I believe that our organizational structure can handle the challenges to come Even better, we will evolve, based on experience and a spirit of continuous improvement Legacy Schedule issues: Embed float in contract/plans; review at PDR LEBT vacuum component issues: Vacuum section/partners provide vacuum chambers and components. Recent PBI deployment in Catania Mechanical integration issues (chamber did not accept EMU): Release all devices, even temporary, into mechanical CAD model Limited time for system deployment: Document integrated commissioning plans; more frequent face-to-face engagement ICS integration issues, no MPS: Coauthor the (first proton) functionality documents and building blocks. Grounding/EMI/analog front end issues: Engage technology leads Useful BCM demo on HV supply: Leave this loaned device in place for now Data management: MEBT-Target cables/racks/devices in databases. Add LEBT. Excellent physics/technical designs: Continue focus on commissioning Motivated partners: Maintain engagement through commissioning in Lund 11/01/2017 Tom Shea - NCFE meeting, Catania 7
Outlook January 2017 We are here 1stprotons in Lund Focus areas for front end: Catania: Commission, Support Install ! Decide Prototype Produce New Year 2017 midsummer gallery ready New Year 2018 LEBT diagnostics meeting this week EMU commissioning run next week Building blocks First Proton Functionality 4 additional staff members Revisions to system and technology leads Installation manager Face-to-face engagement System Teams responsible for integration and commissioning System Lead Partner Beam Physics ICS 11/01/2017 Tom Shea - NCFE meeting, Catania 8
System Lifecycle PDR CDR SAR handoff from IK partner to ESS-BD section ARR ready for beam Commissioning handoff from ESS-BD to Operations 11/01/2017 Tom Shea - NCFE meeting, Catania 10
