Description
At CERN, B-Train systems provide real-time magnetic field information to the RF and other subsystems with high precision and reliability, with less than 3 beam-hours lost per year per machine. Using the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) as a case study, we describe a software performance-monitoring framework, currently in the prototyping phase, aimed at improving the absolute accuracy and trustworthiness of the measurement to help operators to proactively diagnose a variety of beam instabilities. The framework compares measurements with historical data, model-based expectations, and redundant acquisition chains to assess internal errors due e.g. to integrator drift or field marker degradation, apply the necessary corrections, or flag systems for intervention. We expect it to enhance compliance with evolving operational standards and future large-scale applications requiring automated self-diagnostics and remote maintenance.
