Week 40 - Parallel MD - PSB

Injection transfer line dispersion measurement and kick response of extraction line

G. P di Giovanni

I managed to perform a dispersion measurement of the LT/LTB/BI line. I got results very similar to the ones reported in http://khanke.web.cern.ch/khanke/papers/2006/ab_note_2006_001.pdf (from 2006!).
This is helping me to validate the current MADX model for the injection line to the PSB. We are also debating about the dispersion sign :-P

Thanks to Bettina's support, we could set an EASTA_Clone to be sent to the PS, so I could perform a kick response measurements in the BT3-BTP line. For the BT1,2,3 only (but sending to BTM) I could use an ISOGPS_Clone. Anyway, the kick response measurements of the BT-BTP are generally well reproduced by MADX. The measurements helped to spot an issue with BTP.BPM10 horizontally. Bettina and myself are going to discuss this with Lars Soby tomorrow morning.
