Feedback system to stabilize accelerating field in the UNK

To stabilize accelerating field in the UNK proton synchrotron, an HF feedback system is proposed with one-turn time delay and two loops of automatic voltage control having unequal gains. The system would handle a pair of crucial effects caused by the fundamental mode of the accelerating cavities: heavy transient beam loading, and strong dipole and quadrupole longitudinal instabilities of the beam. The beam-cavity coupling impedance near HF is shown to be split up by the feedback loops into a 2 x 2 matrix. Its elements are used to estimate the residual error of the voltage across the accelerating gap from its nominal, the instability driving impedances near HF, and the net current required to drive an HF amplifier. A new global parameters to outline technical contours of the system are evaluated. 8 refs., 8 figs
