  Non-destructive bunch length measurements after the magnetic compression is performed in Fermi@Elettra via the so-called Bunch Length Monitor (BLM) diagnostics. The BLM system is based on the diffraction radiation from a ceramic gap, captured by three millimeter-waves diodes, and the edge radiation from the last bending magnet of the bunch compressors, captured by a pyrodetector. In this paper we report on the study of the coherent radiation from a gap which we performed both applying the analytical theory and by means of simulations of the radiated electromagnetic field (CST Particle Studio). The study started from a simple gap in vacuum; time and frequency domain results were then investigated and compared with analytical theory. Finally in order to study a more realistic system, we investigated the effect of the dielectric and metallic holed shield used to assure the electric continuity.

  The new LINAC4 will provide 160 MeV H¯ ion beams for charge-exchange and proton injection into the CERN accelerator complex. Among a wide variety of beam diagnostics devices, shorted stripline pick-ups will measure the absolute beam position, the relative and absolute beam current, and the average beam energy via the time-of-flight between two monitors. This paper describes the beam position monitor (BPM) with its electronic acquisition chain to be implemented on the movable test bench for beam characterization up to 12 MeV.

Online monitoring of the intensity and position of an electron beam of a few hundred pA in the experiment beamlines at the ELSA facility is enabled by a system of resonant cavities. The position signal extracted from the resonators amounts to about 10-19 W for 0.1 mm displacement at a beam current of 400 pA. It is separated from noise by phase-sensitive detection in a lock-in amplifier. The beam's position is obtained with a precision of one tenth of a millimeter, the signal strength being normalized by a beam current measurement with an uncertainty of a few pA. Via frequency mixing, the cavity signal of 1.5 GHz is converted down to a frequency below 100 kHz in order to be accepted by the amplifier, requiring a local oscillator stabilized by a feedback loop to 10-6 precision. Details of the measurement system are presented.

  The Base-Band-Tune (BBQ) system is an integral part of day-to-day LHC operation, used for tune and chromaticity diagnostics and feedback and giving unprecedented precision with good reliability. This contribution summarises the system's overall performance and documents the various improvements of the analogue front-end circuitry, digital post-processing and integration that were necessary in response to issues arising during high-intensity physics operation. The result of beam studies undertaken are presented, which have established a better understanding of the detection principle since its first introduction in 2005.
