Description
The PIP-II Accelerator is an 800 MeV superconducting Linac in the injection chain of the Fermilab accelerator complex. The LLRF systems are a based on two different hardware platforms controlling a variety of cavity types and resonance control systems including temperature, pneumatic and piezzo tuners. The various calibrations required prior to beam operation include, signal power, gradient, amplifier characterization, cavity Q measurement and detune constants. Measurements such as piezzo capacitance, cavity piezo transfer function help in determining tuner health and in devising microphonics control strategies. These measurement and calibration methods of the PIP-II LLRF system are discussed here.
