Modeling And Design Of A Low-Level Rf Control System For The Accumulator Ring At Spallation Neutron Source, Michael G. Trout
Modeling And Design Of A Low-Level Rf Control System For The Accumulator Ring At Spallation Neutron Source, Michael G. Trout
Masters Theses
Since its commissioning in 2006, Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has greatly contributed to the field of neutron science, but some critical systems are reaching end-of-life. This obsolescence must be addressed for the accelerator to continue providing world-class research capabilities. One such system needing redesign is the low-level RF (LLRF) control system for the proton accumulator ring. While this system has performed acceptably for over a decade, it is sparsely documented and robust operational models are unavailable. To ensure the new design meets or exceeds current performance metrics, we analyzed the existing LLRF control system and …
