The Beam Scraping Monitor (BSM) is used to detect small amounts of beam loss in Jefferson Lab's Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF). The BSM acts as an early warning system that alerts CEBAF operators when the beam loss exceeds 10 to 20 nA. This allows the CEBAF operators to adjust the beam orbit before beam loss reaches the Beam Loss Accounting (BLA) system threshold (presently 5000 µA-µ sec) which shuts down the accelerator. The reference oscillators of four digital signal processing (DSP) lock-in amplifiers are connected to two vertical and two horizontal corrector magnets in the CEBAF injector. These magnets excite transverse oscillations on the electron beam that are significantly smaller than the beam size, producing a negligible effect on beam delivery. To cover the entire accelerator enclosure, the two correctors of each plane are separated by π/2 betatron phase advance. When the electron beam approaches the beam enclosure some electrons get scraped off, causing an amplitude modulation of the beam current at the reference oscillator frequencies. This is picked up by the BCM cavities and relayed to the lock-in amplifiers for synchronous integrated detection. The lock-in amplifiers then transmit the scraping information serially to a LINUX computer running EPICS Portable Channel Access Server software.

A bstractThe integration and performance of subsystems on the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory (SSCL) 428 MHz, 0.1% duty factor radiofrequency quadrupole accelerator is reported. Results of low-and high-power rf measurements on the RFQ cavity are compared to design specifications. Operation of the integrated RFQ vacuum, temperature and supervisory control systems are described.
The Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) ion source/LEBT produces and focuses a 35 keV 30 mA Hbeam into the REQ. The beam emittance (&.a, and its other characteristics, are measured using a slit and collector diagnostic system. The resultant data is analyzed by two separate applications. Both the hardware and software involved will be discussed. Result examples will be presented.
