Abstract :
Titanium sublimation pumps (TiSPs) are used to achieve ultrahigh vacuum in the interaction region (IR) of phase II. This paper describes a Ti sublimation control system developed to provide convenient and efficient control of 28 TiSP cartridges with 84 Ti filaments in the IR. The control system consists of RF filter networks, control cable networks, a PC controlled mobile power supply and multiplexer, and a LabView-based graphic control program. The RF filter network is necessary to block any RF pick-up from the stored beam by the TiSP filaments. The TiSP flashing is done using a constant power scheme
