Power Supplies

Linear power supplies are generally preferred because of the lower high frequency noise content.

Stability and noise requirements:
PS Description Quantity Magnets/PS DI/I
Dipole PS 1 12 ± 5 10-5 (Total)
Quadrupole PS 3 (36) 12 (1) ± 1 10-4 (Total)
Sextup. S1 and S2 PS (Bipolar) 2 12 ± 1 10-3 (Total)
Sextupole S3 PS (Bipolar) 1 6 ± 1 10-3 (Total)
Octupole PS (Bipolar) 1 12 ± 1 10-3 (Total)
Corrector PS (Bipolar) 48 1 ± 5 10-4 (Total)

  • For the dipole case, I is the nominal current @ 600 MeV. But the noise figure must be also measured at the current relative to 800 MeV.
  • For all the other cases the figure noise must be fulfilled on the full current range.
  • The dI/I requirement must be fulfilled in the frequency range between DC and 200 Hz
  • Measurements of the noise from DC to 20 kHz are also required
  • Two options with 3 or 36 (individual) quadrupole PS are being considered.
