Subject: measurements of accelerator clock and revolution marker 

Following Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research A 499 (2003) 138–166, we know that the distributed accelerator clock is 508.8875 MHz (508.91 MHz measured) and that there are 5120 RF buckets.  So the revolution marker should come at 99.3921 kHz (99.39 kHz measured).

Furthermore, it should be noted that the revolution marker is a 50% duty cycle NIM signal and the accelerator clock is about 600 mVpp.  The RMS of the delay between an edge of the accelerator clock and the revolution marker is about 67 ps.  These measurements were done in the D8 XRM optics hut (Oho) after the addition of cabling and RF/NIM fanout modules were inserted (but before the long cables down to the tunnel).

The scope used for the measurements was a Rhode & Schwartz RTO 1044.
