Tevatron Ionization Profile Monitor (IPM) Review

Committee Report
Management Closeout

Response & Status update from the Project Manager, Oct. 31, 2003

Meeting Date: Friday, October 3, 2003
Time: 13:00 - 17:00 hrs
      (13:00 - 15:00 Presentations
      15:00 - 15:30 Committee Executive Session
      15:30 - 16:00 Closeout meeting)
Venue: Comitium, (WH2SE)

Goal:

Technical Evaluation and Scope Review of the Tevatron IPM project: Need to make decision as to whether we proceed with the project; involves purchases. (WBS 1.3.4.6.5.3)

Review Committee Membership:

Valeri Lebedev (Chair)
Joel Butler
Bruce Hanna
Brian Hendricks
Bob Webber

Charge :

Use of Ionization Profile Monitors (IPM) has been proposed to help measure turn-by-turn beam profiles and hence understand the emittance evolution at injection, on the ramp and at flat-top in the Tevatron. The reviewers are asked to evaluate the approach, the technical designs for harware and software and, cost and manpower estimates.

The review should specifically address the following questions:

Is the proposed method appropriate for making the required measurements in the Tevatron?
Is the proposed technical solution sound and feasible? Can it achieve the required accuracy? Will it be sufficiently reliable?
Are the software needs and calibration & maintenance properly addressed?
Can one foresee any possible adverse effects on Tevatron operation?
Are the cost and manpower estimates reasonable?
Is anything missing?

The committee should provide a preliminary assessment at the closeout meeting following the review meeting. A final written report should be produced within a week of the review.

Agenda:

Introduction:

	Introduction and charge (Pushpa) 5 minutes
	Motivation for Tev IPM (Andreas) 10 minutes
	Existing IPMs, performance and known issues (Jim) 10 minutes

Theory, simulations and bench measurements:
	Generation, transport, multiplication and detection of the ionization
	             electrons (Andreas) 20 minutes
	The effect of primary statistics and noise (Hogan) 15 minutes

Proposed technical implementation:

	Overview of proposed system (Andreas) 20 minutes
	QIE ADC board (Kwame) 10 minutes
	BTev data buffer board (Mark) 10 minutes

Budget:

	Cost and manpower estimate (Andreas) 10 minutes

(Total 1 hour 50 minutes of Presentations)
