A new digitizing and data acquisition system for the beam loss monitors is being developed use in several accelerators of Fermilab complex. In addition to providing diagnostic information about loss, monitor designed provide a primary protection against damage superconducting magnets Tevatron. Protecting Tevatron over full set collider operating conditions requires abort logic thresholds be flexible reconfigurable quickly from stored settings. digitizer card core component system. It...

A VME-based data acquisition system for beam-loss monitors has been developed and is in use the Tevatron Main Injector accelerators at Fermilab complex. The need enhanced protection when operating collider-mode was main driving force new design. Prior to implementation of present system, monitor disabled during collider operation magnets relied on quench system. Beam-Loss Monitor allows appropriate abort logic thresholds be set over full conditions. also records a history prior beam-abort...

In the Fermilab beam loss monitor system, inputs from ion chambers are integrated for a short period of time, digitized and processed to create accelerator abort request signals. The power supplies employing 3-phase 60 Hz AC cause noise at various harmonics on our which must be eliminated monitoring purposes. During ramping, both sampling frequency amplitudes components change. As such, traditional digital filtering can partially reduce certain but not all. A non-traditional algorithm was...
