17 CBCM API injection request Error = Set Next Injection Beam Type: Beam Type OK, Not in Filling-Mod, Wrong LIC settings (LIC LHC Injector Chain) The value is checked against the beam type in the SPS telegram - if its not the same; then the BTNI parameter is set to NO-BEAM in the LHC telegram. Error = Set Next Injection Ring: Ring OK, Not in Filling-Mode, Out of Range 1..2 If the HLLSA sets the wrong value an out of range error is returned, and the RNGI parameter in the LHC telegram is forced to zero. Error = Set Next Injection RF Bucket: RF Bucket OK, Not in Filling-Mode, Out of Range If the HLLSA sets the wrong value an out of range error is returned, and the BKNI parameter in the LHC telegram is forced to zero. Error = Set CPS Batches: Batches 1..4 OK, Not in Filling-Mode, Out of Range 1..4 If the HLLSA gets this value wrong an out of range error is returned, and the internal variable controlling the number of injected CPS batches is set to zero. All subsequent CPS beams are dumped. (Modification in the CBCM needed here). Julian Lewis LHCCWG - injection 17

18 RF - injection LHC RF system expects the bunch number and the destination ring to be delivered to SR4 by the LHC timing system. This would be delivered every SPS cycle whenever the LHC is in injection mode. The LHC be the master for the SPS-LHC transfer. The SPS receives a train of pulses at the SPS-LHC common frequency. With its bucket selector the LHC can select the position for transfer from the SPS. RF system updates the bucket selector and the phase of the 400 MHz sent to the SPS. Fine positioning of the beam injection phase in the LHC buckets is adjusted with the phase of the LHC RF signal sent to the injectors. Signals for RF synchronization must be available in the PS about 450 ms before extracting to the SPS. RF generates injection pre-pulses LHCCWG - injection 18
