Modeling The Sps Feedback And Feedforward Systems For Improved Performance, Jake Hargrove
Modeling The Sps Feedback And Feedforward Systems For Improved Performance, Jake Hargrove
Physics
The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) is the last link in the chain of accelerators providing protons to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The SPS is currently the limiting factor on the maximum number of protons and thus collisions in the LHC. The SPS upgrade is under way to expand the discovery potential of the LHC. The accelerating system — Radio Frequency (RF) — is being improved. Models of the SPS RF feedback systems were developed. These models could assist with design choices, evaluating the upgraded system performance, and anticipate limitations and issues.
