FPGA BASED FAST ORBIT FEEDBACK DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM FOR ELECTRON AND HADRON STORAGE RINGS

This paper presents a Field Programmable Gateway Ar- ray (FPGA) based, BMBF supported, development of a fast orbit feedback system for electron and hadron storage rings, in prospect of the upcoming Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) facility in Darmstadt. A short introduction into orbit correction is given, the developed feedback and data acquisition systems are presented and first results of in-situ measurements at electron and hadron accelerators are discussed.
