Tevatron Injection Notes

P150 and A150 line magnet layout:

A schematic graphic display of the P150 and A150 line magnet layout.

The settings for the magnets and trim dipoles can be found on page I65, 150 P/EXT, subpage <14>.

Sign convention: A positive current in the P150 horizontal dipole correctors bends protons traveling from the MI to the Tev toward the Tevatron's radial outside. (Tevatron Electronic Log 1 Entry #273.) Note that this is the OPPOSITE convention of the horizontal dipole correctors in the Tevatron. A positive current in the P150 vertical dipole correctors bends protons upwards. This is the same convention as the Tevatron vertical dipole correctors.
 

P150 positions during Fixed Target:

For documention of  P150 line trajectories during the middle of the Fixed Target Run see Tev Electronic Log 1, Entry #586.
This has a complete set of orbits including the P150 horizontal and vertical positions and magnet settings, the Main Injector last turn orbits, the Tevatron  horizontal and vertical flash flames and horizontal and vertical display frames.

The display frames were taken just after injection so the E and F extraction phase bumps were off.  These settings and position may not be the ideal position for the Collider Run but they may be helpful when first starting up the Tevatron.

Note: The main point to notice in these files is that we ran with the vertical position at the end of the P150 line (VP714B = +12.7 mm) and the vertical position of the Tevatron orbit (VPE49 = 0.0, VPF11 = 7.03) at the Lambertson  significantly higher than zero. This was consistent with aperture scans done May 18-19, 1999.
 

Lambertson position and Lambertson 4-bumps:

The horizontal position of the F0 lambertsons can be moved. The stepper motor devices are T:LAMF0U and T:LAMF0D. When these devices are at 0 mils the center of the Lambertson septum is 0.5 inches radial outward from the Tevatron centerline. The thickness of the septum at its thinnest point is 5 mm.

MAD calculations of 4-bumps on the injection lattice at the Lambertsons are listed below.
These are the HPOS, HANG, VPOS, and VANG bumps used in C49 in the Proton Injection sequence.
They are also on the T37 parameter page - INJECT - <1> and <2>.

HPOS (A +1 mm radial outward bump):
 HDE46   -0.01342  mrad.
 HDE49  +0.000562 mrad
 HDF11  -0.01134 mrad
 HDF13  -0.008865 mrad

HANG (A +1 mrad angle bump centered at the middle of the Lambertsons. At the Lambertson the orbit moves radial outward in the proton direction.)
 HDE46    +0.5779 mrad
 HDE49    -0.9173 mrad
 HDF11   +1.318 mrad
 HDF13   -0.2573 mrad

VPOS (A +1 mm vertically upward bump):
 VDE47  +0.009647 mrad
 VDE49  +0.007961 mrad
 VDF11  -0.0005562 mrad
 VDF14  +0.01327 mrad

VANG (A +1 mrad angle bump centered at the middle of the Lambertsons. At the Lambertson the orbit moves upward  in the proton direction.)
 VDE47  -0.4183 mrad
 VDE49  +0.7818 mrad
 VDF11  -0.7517 mrad
 VDF14: +0.2682 mrad

Injection orbits:


With F17 Kicker giving a +0.320 mrad kick (T:F17K1 = 2.65 kV) and the closed orbit at the Tev center a MAD calculation of the injection orbit gives the following positions:
 MTEV60  (the middle of the Lambertsons) position = +20.1 mm, angle = 3 urad.
 HPF11  +14.6 mm
 HPF13  -15.0 mm
 HPF15  -24.7 mm
 HPF17  -3.65 mm
 

A fixed target FLASH - DISPLAY orbit (without the phase bumps) has the difference orbit as
 HPF11 +15.8 mm
 HPF13 -15.0 mm
 HPF15 -25.7 mm
 HPF17 -4.1 mm
which agrees well with the calculated value.
