Description
Summary:We describe the adaptation of a Feedback On Nanosecond Timescales (FONT) system for the final focus test beam line ATF2 at KEK. This system is located in the ATF2 extraction line, and is mainly conceived for cancellation of transverse jitter positions originated in the damping ring and by the extraction kickers. This jitter correction is performed by means of a combination of feed-forward (FF) and fast-feedback (FB) beam stabilisation. We define optimal positions for the kicker and BPM pairs of the FONT FF/FB system, and estimate the required kicker performance and BPM resolutions. Moreover simulation results are presented.
