Description
To integrate the signals of beam current transformers into accelerator control systems, particle accelerators require high-performance digitizers with optimized bandwidth, sampling rate, and dynamic range. They must be accurate and reliable. And they should be easy to deploy and operate.
A specialized digitizer was developed to interface the Bergoz Instrumentation ACCT sensor and its analog front-end electronics to an accelerator control system. It allows waveform acquisition preserving the quality of the analog signal and controls the ACCT configuration. Communication is implemented over Ethernet through a simple command protocol, and an EPICS soft IOC is provided.
The digitizer was tested with two ACCTs installed at the CHUV Oriatron Linac and a third at the METAS electron beamline. Results demonstrate improved signal-to-noise ratio, adaptability to multiple beam types, and simplified deployment compared to general-purpose digitizers.
