Description

SELAP (Self Excited Loop Amplitude and Phase) algorithm has been operational at Jefferson Lab for controlling high Q cavities since 2021. Core algorithm of controlling the amplitude and the phase works reliably independent of the environment. When combined with the operational aspects such as high microphonics, mechanical coupling between the cavities, heavy beam loading etc., lot of exception handling had to be added in the gateware and software for making the operation easier and reliable. This poster describes some of the operational aspects noticed and the methodology used for detection and the mitigation.
