Target Parameters
Start position: x1
Start time: t1
Time beam on: TB1
Time beam off: TB2
BCD minimum: x2
Time BCD minimum: t2
Strike: s = x2 – x1
Strike time: t = t2 – t1
Acceleration: a = 4s/t2
Run reduction code over the raw data to parameterise
Can then plot interesting variables quickly
Interesting Parameters include
Target hold positionTarget BCD – Beam Centre DistanceTarget Acceleration
TB1 TB2
x1
x2
t1 t2
Target Hold Position
1 hour
Takes about 2 hours to warm up
2 populations a result of capture mechanism
Target Acceleration
Takes about 2 hours to warm up
Rapid change – Ohmic heating of coils
Slower decrease over 2+ hours
BCD HistogramsHistogram BCDs for a set value
Clear difference between the two distributions
Failing target has a much broader spread
T2 distribution 3-4 times as broad
Can be interpreted as a result of the target “sticking”
BCDs for T1 and T2In each case the test runs were setup to pulse with a nominal BCD of 19-20 mm
Very different appearance for BCD time series plots for T1 and T2
T1 very stable BCD does not vary over time
T2 BCD varies strongly over time
Plot very “spiky” after ~42k pulses
Clear signal for target failure
T2 Commissioning Run
Calibration Histograms
Fit double Gaussian to BCD by hand Why ?
Trying to account for second population usually seen
Calibration Histograms
Tricky to automate, usually need to tweak the fit start values by hand to get the fit to converge
Obvious 2nd peak More ambiguous case
Another view of the Calibration
Double Gaussian fitcan pick out second population and gives better resolution for spread
Conclusions
• Have a simple method of spotting potential breakdown of the target
• Target performance looks fine to date• This method is partially automated in current
target DAQ – Thanks James • Still needs an “experts eye”• Don’t want to define some arbitrary failure
value until we see how these measurements evolve
