As part of the global refurbishment of the injector at BESSY II, a new optical beamline has been installed in the booster. This paper covers the conceptual design: incorporating the beamline into an operational facility without downtime, the simulation and expectations of the optical transport line, mechanical installation and commissioning with beam. These first results with the present beam delivery system have already achieved source point imaging and bunch length measurements using a fast diode. With the additional PETRA cavity installed for this booster upgrade and connection to acquire RF power in the 2022 summer shutdown planned, the bunch length diagnostics are critical. The beamline will also undergo a final mechanical upgrade and then see the installation of a streak camera.

PSI’s Ring cyclotron is a high intensity proton cyclotron producing 2 mA beam. The beam is accelerated over about 180 turns from 72 MeV to 590 MeV. The Long Radial Probe, called RRL, scans the beam along the range of beam radii from 2048 mm to 4480 mm. A replacement for the RRL has been developed in the last years*. The recently installed new probe drives three carbon fibers with 30 ’m diameter through the turns and measures secondary electron currents, providing information on horizontal and vertical beam shape. Additional drives are available for a later extension of measurement capabilities. The main challenges are a coupling of the device elements to RF fields leaking from the accelerating cavities, plasma interfering with the measured signal and performance of the carbon fibers in harsh environment with high intensity beam. We report on commissioning of the probe with RF and beam and discuss measurement results. * doi:10.18429/JACoW-IBIC2020-WEPP33

As part of the development of the CLARA electron accelerator at Daresbury Laboratory, a new analog front end for bunch charge measurement has been developed to provide accurate measurements across a wide range of operating charges with repetition rates of up to 400 Hz. The qualification tests of the front end are presented. These include tests of the online calibration system, compared to a bench Faraday cup test setup; online beam test data with a Faraday cup from 1 to 200 pC; online beam test data with a wall current monitor from 1 to 200 pC, and tests using signal processing such as singular value decomposition. This is demonstrated to enable the measurement of bunch charges in the order of 100 fC using both Faraday Cups and Wall Current Monitors.

Several new diagnostics have been installed and exploited at the ESRF’s new Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS) in 2022. A Libera-Spark BPM device has been implemented to measure the phase of Booster and EBS rings, with high resolution and up to turn-by-turn rate. In the Storage Ring we achieved irrefutably the control, injection and measurement of single electron(s) with the use of transfer-line screens, the visible-light extraction system and a low-cost photo-multiplier tube, combined with the commercial Spark Beam Loss Monitor. Further planned developments, like the TCPC technique, on this are on-going and will be essential to verify that our Booster cleaning process reaches a level of zero-electron bunch pollution in EBS.

This study analyzes a pulse-mode x-ray beam position monitor that enables pulse-by-pulse position measurement in a synchrotron radiation beamline of the synchrotron radiation facility, SPring-8. The monitor is equipped with blade-shaped detection elements utilizing diamond heatsinks to reduce stray capacitance and a microstripline transmission line to improve high-frequency characteristics. The detection elements operate as photocathodes and generate single unipolar pulses with a full width at half-maximum of less than 1 ns, allowing pulse-by-pulse measurement of the synchrotron radiation beam. We confirmed the basic operation of the monitor at the SPring-8 bending magnet beamline*. The detection element’s heat resistance consequently improved. An evaluation test was carried out at the SPring-8 undulator beamline with significantly high synchrotron radiation intensity. We aim to report the evaluation results of the sensitivity and resolution of the monitor measured by exciting a betatron oscillation in the horizontal/vertical direction using beam shakers of the SPring-8 storage ring and the observation results of the pulse-by-pulse photon beam dynamics induced by beam injection. * https://journals.aps.org/prab/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevAccelBeams.24.032803

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) accelerators are equipped with 17 pCVD diamond based Beam Loss detectors at strategical locations where their nanosecond resolution can provide insights into the loss mechanisms and complement the information of the standard ionization chamber type detectors. They are used at the injection and extraction lines of the LHC and SPS, to analyse the injection or extraction efficiency, and to verify the timing alignment of other elements like kicker magnets. They are used at the betatron collimation region and are being also explored as detectors to analyse slow extractions. The acquisition chain was fully renovated during the second LHC long shutdown period (from December 2018 to July 2022) to provide higher resolution measurements, real-time data processing and data reduction at the source as well as to integrate seamlessly to the controls infrastructure. This paper presents the new hardware platform, the different acquisition modes implemented, the system capabilities and initial results obtained during the commissioning and operation at the beginning of the LHC’s Run 3.

SPEAR3 is a third generation synchrotron radiation light source, which operates approximately 9 months each year with a very high reliability. The beam loss monitoring system in the storage ring has recently been upgrade to the modern Libera system from the original legacy hardware. During the initial stage of the new beam loss monitoring system deployment, it was proved to be useful for a new lattice commissioning at SPEAR3. In this paper, we will report the progress in the Libera system commissioning at SPEAR3 and present some first results.

The Beam Gas Vertex (BGV) instrument is a novel non-invasive transverse beam profile monitor under development for the High Luminosity Upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). Its principle is based on the reconstruction of the tracks and vertices issued from beam-gas inelastic hadronic interactions. The instrument is currently in the design phase, and will consist of a gas target, a forward tracking detector installed outside the beam vacuum chamber and computing resources dedicated to event reconstruction. The transverse beam profile image will then be inferred from the spatial distribution of the reconstructed vertices. With this method, the BGV should be able to provide bunch-by-bunch measurement of the beam size, together with a beam profile image throughout the whole LHC energy cycle, and independently of the beam intensity. This contribution describes the design of the gas target system and of the gas tank of the future instrument.

The measurement accuracy of the ionization profile monitor (IPM) of J-PARC main ring (MR) depends on the flatness and stability of the gain of the position-sensitive microchannel plate (MCP). The flatness of the MCP deteriorates after long-term operation; the gain of the central area selectively decreases as the integrated output charge increases. The beam-based calibration, where the local bump shifts the beam and the reconstructing beam profiles determine the gain distribution, is used to calibrate the flatness. The immediate gain drop occurs when the output current from the MCP becomes comparable to the bias current is problematic. This gain drop depends on the bias voltage and the output current; thus, it is difficult to calibrate. A pulsed HV module of 30 kV, which collects ionized electrons and ions, was installed to solve these problems. The pulse mode operation can modulate the averaged output current from the MCP to improve gain stability. Profiles of the intense beam up to 3.3·1013 ppb were measured and compared with those measured by destructive profile monitors in beam transport lines 3’50 BT, and the Abort line. Estimated emittances were consistent at ±20%.

The "Booster Fillpattern Monitor" is used to measure currents in each individual electron bunch in the booster of the BESSY II machine. The booster with its circumference of 96 meters has space for max.160 electron bunches. The distance between the electron bunches of 60cm (96m/160) is determined by the RF Master Clock ~ 499, 627MHz. In practice, fill patterns of a one to five equally spaced bunches are in use. The fill pattern monitor digitizes electrical pulses generated from a strip line using a broadband ADC. The sampling frequency is selected as an integer fraction of the bunching frequency, acquiring the full fill pattern over a number of turns. Experiments performed at BESSY II demonstrate the performance of the setup and will be discussed.
