The need for state-of-the-art electronics for data-acquisition and processing of BPM signals in Injector and/or Booster Synchrotrons is being addressed in a development that aims at making such system available with less complexity and yet fulfilling precisely the needs of such specific BPMs. The ESRF Booster Synchrotron uses 75 BPMs in its 300m circumference to measure the orbit along its acceleration cycle of 50 milliseconds for the electron beam from 0.2 to 6GeV. The 25 year old electronics of these BPMs are in need of replacement. While BPM developments in recent years have focused on devices for Storage Rings that face extreme requirements like sub-micron drift with time, beam intensity, etc. that result in complicated implementation schemes. This new development combines both the simplification in the measurement concept and the implementation of novelties like compact design integrating RF electronics, with power-over-Ethernet supply and passive cooling, a powerful System-on-Chip engine and easy communication via SCPI commands. This paper will present the full design concept and its aimed functionalities as a BPM device that should offer an excellent price/performance ratio.

Upgrade of Beam Phase Monitors for the ESRF Injector and Storage Ring

ESRF, Grenoble, France

The measurement of the phase relation between the stored beam in the Storage Ring and the beam circulating in the Booster Synchrotron is now done with high precision and at high speed using a single unit of commercial BPM electronics. The quadrature demodulation, driven by a common PLL, done in these digital electronics on each of its four RF input channels makes the relative measurement of the I/Q components, hence phase relation, easy and strait forward. The RF signals of the relatively low current Booster come from two stripline outputs while that of the Storage Ring from two small BPM buttons. Treating simultaneously four signals, thus with a redundancy of two to measure the phase between two sources, allows to perform intrinsic shot-to-shot cross verifications on resolution and reproducibility. The long-term stability of this device has also been successfully assessed by independent verifications against time and temperature drifts. An identical unit has now been added for phase measurements between the Storage Ring beam and the RF cavity signals. Results with beam and assessment of its scope of performance will be presented on both systems.

Emittance Measurement Using X-Ray Lenses at the ESRF

833

During the year 2011, X-ray lenses were tested as an alternative way of emittance measurement in the ESRF storage ring. Following these tests it was decided to install a new bending magnet diagnostics beam port dedicated primarily to a permanent emittance measurement using X-ray lens imaging. The new beam port is equipped with a thin (0.6 mm) double CVD diamond window instead of 3 mm aluminium used at the pinhole beam ports. This increases the X-ray transmission, especially at low energies. The imaging and emittance measurement using aluminium lenses is discussed in comparison to the emittance measurement based on pinhole imaging. Although the principle works correctly, the setup presents different practical difficulties, such as low signal intensity and heat load.
