- BDC Triggered by LLRF for Storage Ring Cavity 2 at 402 mA
- Root cause: unknown
- Issue: Libera data indicates uncontrolled beam loss
- Category: 2
- RadFET indicates controlled beam loss
- https://elog-gfa.psi.ch/SLS/62639
12 - Tue 30-Sep-25 13:55
- BDC Triggered by Orbit Deviation at 53 mA
- Root cause: unknown
- Issue: Uncontrolled beam loss at thin septum
- Category: 1
- happened during MD kw40
- https://elog-gfa.psi.ch/SLS/62568
11 - Mon 29-Sep-25 17:18
- BDC Triggered by Vakuum at 385 mA
- Root cause: Misfiring of 4 kicker bump K1 and K2 during accumulation
- Issue: Uncontrolled loss of 385 mA at thin septum
- Category: 4
- VCS: ARS01 VPIC 0010 :PUMP1-PRESSURE
- https://elog-gfa.psi.ch/SLS/62552
10 - Sun 28-Sep-25 11:10
- Root cause: Vacuum in injection straight
- Issue: Uncontrolled loss of 400 mA at thin septum
- Category: 2
- VCS: ARS01 VPIC 0010 :PUMP1-PRESSURE
- Beam lost over ~500 ms
- not clear since RadFET indicates good dump and while Libera loss data does not agree
- steep drop of lifetime before beam loss also indicates uncontrolled beam loss since usually faster than vacuum interlock

- Root cause: Classical ion instability due to bad vacuum in X02SA with U15 gap closed
- Issue: Uncontrolled loss of 400 mA at thin septum and collimators
- Category: 2
- Filling gap of 50 buckets and vacuum interlock at 1e-7 mbar
- Vacuum interlock is triggered but far too late with 230 ms delay
- https://elog-gfa.psi.ch/SLS/62668
8 - Thu 25-Sep-25 22:58
- Root cause: Classical ion instability due to bad vacuum in X02SA with U15 gap closed
- Issue: Uncontrolled loss of 400 mA at thin septum and collimators
- Category: 2
- Filling gap of 30 buckets and vacuum interlock at 4e-7 mbar
- From now on:
- Vacuum Interlock threshold now reduced to 1e-7 mbar
- Filling pattern gap increased from 30 to 50 buckets

7 - Thu 25-Sep-25 18:04
- Root cause: Classical ion instability due to bad vacuum in X02SA with U15 gap closed
- Issue: Uncontrolled loss of 400 mA at thin septum and collimators
- Category: 2
- Beam dump seems to be caused by an initially slow-rising vacuum spike inside the X02SA U15 undulator
- Lifetime went down from 8 hours to <2 hours slowly in the last 5 minutes before the beam dump simultaneously with the pressure going up
- The observed vacuum spike could be a classical ion instability
- Vacuum Interlock unfortunately was not triggered
- ID gap is stuck at minimum value and cannot be opened which would improve the vacuum

6 - Tue 23-Sep-25 15:56
- Root cause: FOFB writes bad values to correctors
- Issue: Uncontrolled loss of 388 mA
- Category: 2
- Happened during BPM Sector reboot, i.e., overall reliability issue with BPM/FOFB system
- Beam dump controller only triggered by RF stations
- Post mortem data clearly shows that beam was lost before dump kicker was fired
- Communication issue between machine experts concerning disabling the orbit deviation beam dump seems irrelevant
- It would be good if the disabling and reenabling of the orbit deviation beam dump for sector reboots could be automized in a safe way

5 - Thu 07-Aug-25 20:31
- Root cause: misfiring of one individual beam dump kicker stage
- Issue: Uncontrolled loss of 400 mA
- Category: 4
- it seems one stage of the beam dump kicker misfired, partially killing the beam and triggering an RF interlock which requested a beam dump which led to a intended firing of the beam dump kicker that failed for the only just misfired stage

- Root cause: Fast change of quadrupole setpoints (MD shift)
- Issue: Uncontrolled loss of 200 mA
- Category: 2
- Fast orbit detection might prevent this in future but not if tune moved to 0.5
- https://elog-gfa.psi.ch/SLS/61837
3 - Tue 29-Jul-25 15:51
- Root cause: Fast change of quadrupole setpoints (MD shift)
- Issue: Uncontrolled loss of 140 mA
- Category: 2
- Fast orbit detection might prevent this in future but not if tune moved to 0.5
- https://elog-gfa.psi.ch/SLS/61836
2 - Wed 23-Jul-25 16:32
- Root cause: FOFB wrote NAN to corrector magnets
- Issue: Uncontrolled loss of 400 mA
- Category: 2
- Automated testing clearly shows the bug of the EPICS ringbuffer record in EPICS 7.0.8 leading to the regular appearance of huge numbers about every 5 seconds when writing a new value to the ringbuffer with 10 Hz. The bug is not observed at all for EPICS 7.0.9

- Root cause: Misfiring of individual kicker during turning off 4 Kicker Bump at 400 mA
- Issue: Uncontrolled loss of 400 mA
- Category: 4
