  Bunch length can be measured using the visible light power fluctuation statistics of an individual bunch. This method developed at ALS has been implemented at Diamond with further improvement on the detection method and the speed of the measurement. In this paper, we firstly report on the development and implementation of the method. We will show the performance of several detector diodes used and the limits of the method. Validation of the method will be demonstrated against streak camera measurement with picosecond long bunches. Before concluding, we will discuss about the strengths and weaknesses of the method.

Generally Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) is emitted for wavelengths longer than or equal the bunch length, so for CSR in the THz-range short bunches are required. There are two types of detectors in this range of the spectrum: slow detectors like a golay cell or pyrometric detectors (used for e.g. imaging, spectroscopy) and fast detectors like superconducting bolometer detector systems and Schottky Barrier diodes (used for e.g. the investigation of dynamic processes in accelerator physics). The hot electron bolometer (HEB) detector system is a member of second group. It is very fast and has broad spectral characteristics, but unfortunately very expensive and have to be cooled using liquid helium. If the broad spectral response is not important, it will be suitably to use a Schottky Barrier diode instead. These detectors are massively cheaper but also slower. As an alternative to a Schottky diode a LNB (Low Noise Block) can be also used. It is usually used in standard TV-SAT-receivers. Due to mass production LNBs became very cheap, moreover they are optimized to detect very low intensity "noise-like" signals. In this paper we present our experience with a LNB at ANKA.

  We report on tests of an x-ray beam size monitor based on coded aperture imaging. This technique uses a mask pattern to modulate incoming light, with the resulting image being deconvolved through the mask and detector responses, including the effects of diffraction and attenuation materials in the path, over the spectral and angular distribution of the synchrotron radiation generated by the beam. We have tested mask patterns called URA masks, which have relatively flat spatial frequency response, and an open aperture of 50% for high-flux throughput, enabling single-shot (bunch-by-bunch, turn-by-turn) measurements without the need for heat-sensitive mirrors. Bunch size measurements of ~10 micron bunches with single-shot (statistics-dominated) resolutions of ~2.5 microns have been demonstrated at CesrTA, and single-shot measurements with similar or better resolution of beams in the ~5 micron range are being aimed for at the ATF2. A beam-size monitor based on these principles is also being designed for the SuperKEKB low-emittance rings. We will present estimated single-shot resolutions, along with a comparison to single-shot resolution measurements made at CesrTA.
