  Historically the FLASH (Free Electron Laser in Hamburg) facility at DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron) in Germany has foreseen operation in a charge range from 1nC-3nC for which a VME based BPM(Beam Position Monitor) system has been in operation since 2005. For a couple of years the standard machine operation has been settled at a few hundreds of pC with the tendency for smaller charges down to 100pC and smaller. The availability and resolution performance of the BPM system at charges below 300pC in many locations along the machine was unsatisfactory. In the last couple of years a new BPM electronic system based on the utca standard has been developed to overcome these limitations. A substantially improved version of the analog frontend and digital electronics has been developed in 2016 and tested successfully. During shutdown works at FLASH in summer 2017 all old button and strip-line BPM electronics has been replaced with the new type of electronics. This paper summarizes the features and performance of the new BPM system, compares the beam jitter free resolution of old and new BPM system and highlights its high single shot resolution of better than 10um at a charge of 15pC.

  The European XFEL(X-Ray Free Electron Laser) at DESY(Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron) in Hamburg/Schenefeld started commissioning in early 2017. Before the pulsed electron beam is accelerated to its final energy of 14 GeV, the energy of the bunch can be compressed in three bunch compression chicanes at 130 MeV, 700 MeV and 2400 MeV. The vacuum chamber in these sections is tapered from 40 mm round beam pipe to a 40 cm rectangular shaped vacuum section. A custom made button array type of BPM(Beam position Monitor) is installed in this section with 26 button electrode feed-throughs. The analog and digital readout electronics for this monitor and the first experience with the calibration and operational aspects of this system are presented in this poster.
