Optical fibre BLM (Belen)

  • Collaboration with Huddersfield (UK), EN-STI and EN-EL
  • Existing BLM detectors cover small area - request to cover meters -> fibres
  • Study of standard Silica fibres coupled with optical detectors (Cherenkov radiation)
  • Reminder of how Cherenkov light is emitted
  • Reminder of previous studies at CTF3
  • Prepare infrastructure for prototype in LSS2/SPS
  • Fibre duct installed over 200m from extraction point to beginning of TT20 and a first 100m fibre is installed (EN/EL). A second fibre to be installed before beam restart
  • Radiation-safe locations for detector electronics with read-out electronics have been identified
  • Preliminary simulation results (Python library)
  • First tests on CLEAR show promising results (800mV output)
  • Read-out electronics to be redesigned (W. Vigano providing advice)
    • Hope to get something for testing with beam during 2021 (with scope in BA2)

E/O BPM for un-bunched beams (Antonio)

  • Research project in collaboration with Huddersfield university
  • Reminder of the context
