  In this paper we summarise our 2-year experience operating the Cavity Beam Position Monitor (CBPM) system at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) in KEK. The system currently consists of 41 C and S-band CBPMs and is the main diagnostic tool for the new ATF2 extraction beamline. We concentrate on issues related to the scale of the system and also consider long-term effects, most of which are undetectable or insignificant in smaller experimental prototype systems. We consistently show sub-micron BPM resolutions and week-to-week scale drifts of an order of 1%.

  Ar gas proportional BLMs have measured the beam loss through operations, but they are also sensitive to background noise of X-ray emitted from RF cavities. We have tried to measure the beam loss using scintillation monitors which would bring more accurate beam loss measurements with suppression of X-ray noise. We measured beam loss using scintillation beam loss monitors. Because this scintillation BLM is sensitive for low energy gamma-rays and fast neutrons, small signals from X-rays would be also detected. As the measurement results, a good signal to noise ratio is observed for the scintillation monitor with quite low sensitivity to the background X-ray. And many single events are observed in the intermediate pulse bunch with about 600 ns as pulse width. After all signals passed through the filter circuit and integrated circuit, total amount of X-ray noise can become smaller. We obtained the good performances of scintillation BLM with small effect of X-ray noise. This monitor can be used for beam loss measurement and a knob for tuning. Furthermore, because the detail structure can be detected, this monitor could be employed for another diagnostic device.

  A beam injection scheme using a pulsed multipole magnet is suitable for the top-up injection because a disturbance to the stored beam is much smaller than that of the conventional scheme using several kicker magnets. At the Photon Factory storage ring, the top-up injection with a pulsed sextupole magnet (PSM) has been used for the user operation since January 2011. In order to ascertain the effect of the PSM injection, we measured turn-by-turn stored beam profiles following the injection kick by using a fast-gated camera. As a result, it was demonstrated that the PSM injection dramatically decreases not only the coherent dipole oscillation but also the beam profile modulation, as expected from the beam tracking simulation.

The IFMIF-EVEDA accelerator will be a 9 MeV, 125 mA CW deuteron accelerator which aims to validate the technology that will be used in the future IFMIF accelerator. In the Medium Energy Beam Transport line (MEBT) connecting the RFQ and the MEBT, non-interceptive Beam Position Monitors pickups (MBPMs) will measure the transverse position and phase in order to maximize the transport efficiency of the beamline. The response of the MBPMs must be optimized for a beam current for 5 MeV, and a peak beam current of 125 mA. Due to the lack of space in the MEBT, the MBPMs will be located inside the magnets. The MBPMs will have to fit inside the magnets without perturbing the magnetic field. In this contribution, the electromagnetic and mechanical design of the MBPM will be presented. In addition, in order to validate and characterize all the BPMs type of IFMIF/EVEDA once they are manufactured, a wire test bench has been constructed and verified at CIEMAT. The design and validation results of the test bench will be discussed.

  Beam Position Monitors (BPMs) for the FAIR fast-ramped super conducting synchrotron SIS-100 will be installed inside the cryostats of quadrupole magnets. This contribution focuses on the coupling path between BPM electrodes and low noise amplifiers installed outside the cryostat. Matching transformers (MT) meet well the requirements of reflection free signal transfer through the relative long lines without loading the capacitive BPM by 50 Ohm. Different transformers based on toroidal cores made out of Vitroperm-500F nanocrystalline were tested. The form of windings and circuit geometry were optimized to improve linearity allow for resonance-free transmission over a required frequency range from 0.1 MHz to 80 MHz. The MTs have to be balanced pair wise within 0.1 dB and the geometry of windings has to be mechanically stabilized using e.g. epoxy resin. A choice of different epoxy types and their suitability for cryogenic operation was tested in liquid Nitrogen and liquid Helium.

The linear accelerator ELBE delivers high-brightness electron bunches to multiple user stations, including an IR-FEL. The current thermionic injector is being replaced by a superconducting rf photoinjector (SRF-injector) which promises higher beam quality. Using a transfer chicane, beam from the SRF-injector can be injected into the ELBE linac. Detailed characterization of the electron beam is achieved by measuring the vertical slice emittance of the beam. To perform this measurement a combination of rf zero-phasing, spectrometer dipole and quadrupole scan is used. The electron beam is accelerated by the first cavity of the ELBE accelerator module and send through a second cavity which is operated at zero-crossing of the rf. In doing so a linear energy-time correlation is induced to the beam. The chirped beam is send through a spectrometer dipole and the longitudinal distribution can be made visible on a scintillator screen. Performing a quadrupole scan allows the determination of the emittance for different slices. This paper explains the working principle of the method and the experimental setup and shows results of performed simulations as well as first measurement results.
