We describe the design, construction, and performance of Sloan Digital Sky Survey Telescope located at Apache Point Observatory. The telescope is a modified two-corrector Ritchey-Chretien design which has 2.5-m, f/2.25 primary, 1.08-m secondary, Gascoigne astigmatism corrector, one pair interchangeable highly aspheric correctors near focal plane, for imaging other spectroscopy. final ratio f/5. instrumented by wide-area, multiband CCD camera fiber-fed double spectrographs. Novel features...
We present an ambitious ongoing project to build and install a new corrector system in the Fermilab 8 GeV booster. The consists of 48 packages, each containing horizontal vertical dipoles, normal skew quadrupoles, sextupoles. Space limitations machine have motivated unique design, which utilizes custom wound coils around 12 pole laminated core. Each 288 discrete multipole elements will dedicated power supply, output current is controlled by individual programmable ramp. This paper describes...
To better control the beam position, tune, and chromaticity in Fermilab Booster synchrotron, a new package of six corrector elements has been designed, incorporating both normal skew orientations dipole, quadrupole, sextupole magnets. The devices are under construction installation at 48 locations is planned. density rapid slew rate have posed special challenges. magnet presented along with DC measurements magnetic field.

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...
The development of magnetic cogging is part the Fermilab Booster upgrade within Proton Improvement Plan (PIP). going to send 2.25E17 protons/hour which almost double present flux, 1.4E17 Main Injector (MI) and Recycler (RR). extraction kicker gap has synchronize MI RR injection bucket in order avoid a beam loss at rising edge kickers. Magnetic able control revolution frequency position using field from dipole correctors while radial feedback keeps central orbit. new expected reduce due orbit...
The CDF Shower Maximum Electronics is part of the upgraded data acquisition system for experiment at Fermilab. services five detector subsystems calorimeter, and accommodates different properties processing requirements imposed by each them. electronics built around a custom integrated circuit called SMQIE, which produces floating-point with no dead-time using 7.6-MHz clock. components are described, along principles operation performing acquisition, calibration, diagnostics.
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...

The extraction bucket position in the Fermilab Booster is controlled with a cogging process that involves comparison of RF count and Recycler Ring revolution marker. A one jitter results from variability phase matches to Recycler. However, new slow lock used frequency has been made digital programmable modified correct notch position. beam loss at injection reduced by 20%. Beam studies system will be discussed this paper.
