FAIR SIS100 Bunch-Compressor

As a sub-contractor of Aurion Anlagentechnik GmbH, BEAPLAS developed parts for a specialized amplifier. The amplifier is used for beam-manipulation in the new FAIR SIS100 synchrotron.The nominal voltage amplitues of this system are between 1 kV and 40 kV, with a frequency between 310 kHz and 560 kHz. The maximum rise time is 30 µs. As a first step of this procject, BEAPLAS has carried out the system simulation. Afterwards, the electrical design of the power stage, an associated driver and measurement circuits took place at BEAPLAS. The greates challenge was the selection of suitable component and materials, as well as the abandonment of semiconductors. During operation, the amplifier is exposed to high levels of radiation that certain materials cannot… Read More

Trigger- and Data-Acquisition-Plattform

As a sub-contractor of Aurion Anlagentechnik GmbH, BEAPLAS has developed an electronic plattform tailored to customers requirements.The purpose of this Trigger- and Data-Acquisition-Plattform is the management and hand-over of fast trigger-signals. These triggers are created by the customers system and are transferred over fibre- or coaxial-cables. Complementing the system with digitizers cablable of 16bit resolution, it is possible to measure analog values synchroneous or asynchroneous with a trigger event.The following list summarized the features: Combination of FPGA and MCU Industrial communication interface (Anybus, e.g. ProfiNet) Several sources for triggers Several outputs for triggers I/O-delay of less than 100 ns Four external and four internal analog inputs with 16bit resolution Selectable analog and digital routing of measured values The customer uses… Read More

Simulation of a System with Modelled Data

As a sub-contractor of Aurion Anlagentechnik GmbH, BEAPLAS has simualted a complex system. The goal of this simulation was the extraction of technical parameters and it’s optimization regarding bandwith and amplification.Based on measured data delivered by the customer components of the system were modelled in SPICE. These models were required to work in time- as well as in frequency-domain. Therefore, an equivalent circuit model has been chosen. After the system simulation was created and verified, series of automated calculations with different initial values has been conducted. This has been done based on the software Scilab, which has been used for automated creation of figures as well. In a final step a detailed report has been created in which the results… Read More
