The ATLAS BPTX System
Friday, September 17, 2010 G.Anders, C. Gabaldon, T. Pauly
The ATLAS BPTX stations are comprised of electrostatic button pick-up detectors, located about 200 m away along the beam pipe on both sides of ATLAS.
Oscilloscope
8 bit ADC5 GS/s (200 ps)
600 MHz bandwidth
200 m cable
4 buttons
A passing bunch gives bipolar signal (low frequency cut-off) Time measurement of a single bunch:
Zero-crossing of signal

Beam phase monitoring (C. Gabaldon)

BeamEnergy:- Beam energy
BPTX:- BPTX 1/2 delay setting, bunch info, phase ½, Δphase
RF2TTC:- BC1/BC main delay setting
POLL from IS
LumiBlock:- run, LB, startTime
Write to COOL
Offline: comparison with other sub-detectors and LHC

Based on the BPTX: Correct the phase seen by ATLAS using RF2TTC Delay25 (0.5 ns step):
Now manually Next step automatic process

Phase drift seen by ATLAS Using the BPTX measurement to extract the phase seen by ATLAS.
Good agreement between BPTX and Tile LAr and TRT show similar trend

Clock drift seen by LHC
Friday, September 17, 2010
Using the BPTX measurement to extract the phase seen by LHC.
The beam phase drift is due to the optical fiber

ConclusionsWe are monitoring the phase with the BPTXWe correct any drift (mainly clock drift) with the
RF2TTC “fine” delayWe plan to store into COOLFuture improvements:
the BPTX precisionthe fine delay with a new VME board (~10 ps)
