First beam commissioning of SuperKEKB (Phase-1), which is an asymmetry double ring collider of 7-GeV electron and 4-GeV positron beams, which had started from February, has been successfully accomplished at the end of June 2016, and the desired beam current for Phase-1 was achieved in both rings. This paper summarize the operation results related to low level RF (LLRF) control issues during the Phase-1 commissioning, including the system tuning, the coupled bunch instability and the bunch gap transient effect. RF system of SuperKEKB consists of about thirty klystron stations in both rings. Newly developed LLRF control systems were applied to the nine stations among the thirty for Phase-1. The RF reference signal distribution system has been also upgraded for SuperKEKB. These new systems worked well without serious problem and they contributed to smooth progress of the commissioning. The old existing systems, which had been used in the KEKB operation, were still reused for the most stations, and they also worked as soundly as performed in the KEKB operation.

CEA is committed to the design, construction and commissioning of a Medium Energy Beam Transfer line and a superconducting linac (SCL) for SARAF accelerator in order to accelerate 5mA beam of either protons from 1.3 MeV to 35 MeV or deuterons from 2.6 MeV to 40 MeV. The Low Level RF (LLRF) is a subsystem of the CEA control domain for the SARAF-LINAC instrumentation. The top level requirement of the LLRF system has been presented in the last LLRF conference. The paper shows a simulink model to analyse and determinate the LLRF technical specification. The public bidding for SARAF LLRF is in the last phase: discussion with the selected company. The first prototype test will be performed at the start of 2020.
PAL-XFEL (Pohang Accelerator Laboratory X-ray Free Electron Laser) started RF conditioning in October 2015 and has been operating reliably for ~ 4 years. The machines LLRF and SSA systems contributed to the stable operation of PAL-XFEL with over 99% availability. The LLRF and SSA systems showed some problems in rare cases. The delay caused by the problem is very small, but PAL-XFEL can stop working. Some issues have been identified and resolved. We want to share the experience.
We report on the SuperKEKB Phase I operations of the Large Angle Beamstrhalung Monitor (LABM). The detector is described and its performance characterized using the synchrotron radiation backgrounds from the last Beam Line magnets. The backgrounds are also used to determine the expected position of the Interaction Point (IP), and the expected background rates during Phase II.
We report on measurements of beam backgrounds during the first commissioning phase of the SuperKEKB collider in 2016, performed with the plastic scintillator and silicon photomultiplier-based CLAWS detector system. The sub-nanosecond time resolution and single particle detection capability of the sensors allow bunch-by-bunch measurements, enable CLAWS to perform a novel time resolved analysis of beam backgrounds, and make the system uniquely suited for the study of injection backgrounds. We present measurements of various aspects of regular beam background and injection backgrounds which include time structure and decay behavior of injection backgrounds, hit-energy spectra and overall background rates. These measurements show that the elevated background rates following an injection generally last for several milliseconds, with the majority of the background particles typically observed within the first 500 us. The injection backgrounds exhibit pronounced patterns in time, connected to betatron and synchrotron oscillations in the accelerator rings. The frequencies of these patterns are determined from detector data.
At the Ibaraki Neutron Medical Research Center, an accelerator-based neutron source for iBNCT (Ibaraki - Boron Neutron Capture Therapy) is being developed using an 8-MeV proton linac and a beryllium-based neutron production target. The proton linac consists of an RFQ and a DTL, which is almost the same as the front part of J-PARC linac. However, here only one high-power klystron is used as the RF source to drive the two cavities, which have quite different Q-values and responses. From June 2016, a cPCI based digital feedback system was applied to the iBNCT accelerator. It serves not only as a controller for the feedback of acceleration fields, but also as a smart operator for the auto-tuning of the two cavities in the meantime, especially during the RF startup process to the full power. The details will be described in this report.
