Update on PIP-II beam pattern generator upgrade
The beam pattern generator enables the transfer of beam pulses from the PIP-II linac to the Booster ring, the two RF systems being non-harmonically related. It is synchronized to the timing system to provide beam arrival information to the downstream accelerator subsystems. The design is being upgraded with COTS components and is being developed with a collaboration with SLAC.The pattern generation, digital signal processing and the user interface to an external EPICS server are integrated onto the ARM processor of the SOCFPGA. The progress of the system development is described.
