New energy-spread-feedback control system using nondestructive energy-spread monitors

A new energy-spread feedback control system using nondestructive energy-spread monitors has been developed in order to control and stabilize the energy spreads of single-bunch electron and positron beams in the KEKB injector linac. A well-controlled feedback system has been successfully working in daily operation not only for keeping the injection rate higher along with the beam-orbit and energy-feedback control system, but also for reducing the background level to the KEKB collider experiment. The energy spreads of the injection beams have been well stabilized within 0.33±0.01% and 0.50±0.02% (0.55±0.06%) for the electron beam and the first (second) bunch of the high-current primary electron beam for positron production at the 180° arc, respectively, and within 0.39±0.01% (0.36±0.03%) for the first (second) bunch of the positron beam at the end of the injector linac through the energy-spread feedback control system under the nominal operation condition. In this report we describe in detail the energy-spread feedback control system using nondestructive energy-spread monitors with multi–strip-line electrodes and their performance in KEKB operation.
