D6 AC-AC-DC SPLITTER
The LHC Solution for Expanded Dynamic Range
The AC-AC-DC Splitter decouples the DC part from the AC part of the input signal and divides the AC component into two equivalent output signals. The analogue RF bandwidth is 4 GHz, and the DC bandwidth is 80 kHz, which corresponds to a time constant of 2 μs. RF1 is intended for measuring low bunched losses, amplified by a 40 dB Broadband Amplifier, whereas RF2 is used to measure high bunched losses directly. The DC output is used for measuring steady-state losses.
The D6 AC-AC-DC Splitter enables a concurrent measurement of bunched and steady-state beam losses with one beam-loss detector.

Beam Loss Monitors at LHC
Diamond Beam Loss Monitors are in use as fast beam loss monitors at the CERN-LHC, Geneva/Switzerland, since 2010. They are used to measure beam losses synchronous to the revolution period of the accelerator. The dedicated electronic chain of the Diamond Beam Loss Monitors includes AC-AC-DC splitters to allow measuring bunch-to-bunch losses as well as the integrated loss on the DC path. For real-time analysis of the LHC Diamond Beam Loss Monitors ROSY® AX106 is in operation as time loss histogram monitor.
