  The Accelerator Test Facility 2 (ATF2) at KEK, Japan, is a scaled test beam line for the international linear collider (ILC) final focus system. There are two goals: firstly, to demonstrate focusing to 37 nm vertical beam size; secondly, to achieve a few nanometer level beam orbit stability at the focus point (the Interaction Point (IP)) in the vertical plane. High-resolution beam position monitors around the IP area (IPBPMs) have been developed in order to measure the electron beam position in that region with a resolution of a few nanometers in the vertical plane. Currently, the standard operation mode at ATF2 is single bunch, however, multiple bunch operation with a bunch spacing similar to the one foreseen for the ILC (around 300 ns) is also possible. IPBPMs have a low Q value resulting in a decay time of about 30 ns, and so should be able to measure the beam position of individual bunches without any significant performance degradation. The IPBPMs in the ATF2 extraction beam line have been tested in multibunch regime. This paper analyses the signals, processing methods and results for this mode.

  Two, low-latency, sub-micron beam position monitoring (BPM) systems have been developed and tested with beam at the KEK Accelerator Test Facility (ATF2). One system (‘upstream’), based on stripline BPMs uses fast analogue front-end signal processing and has demonstrated a position resolution as low as 400nm for beam intensities of ~1 nC, with single-pass beam. The other (‘IP’) system, based on low-Q cavity BPMs and utilising custom signal processing electronics designed for low latency, provides a single pass resolution of approximately 100nm. The BPM position data are digitised by fast ADCs on a custom FPGA-based feedback controller and used in three modes: 1) the upstream BPM data are used to drive a pair of local kickers nominally orthogonal in phase in closed-loop feedback mode; 2) the upstream BPM data are used to drive a downstream kicker in the ATF2 final focus region in feedforward mode; 3) the IP cavity BPM data are used to drive a local downstream kicker in the ATF2 final focus region in closed-loop feedback mode. In each case the beam jitter is measured downstream of the final focus system with the IP cavity BPMs. The relative performance of these systems is compared.
