	Over recent years the first Diffraction Radiation (DR) beam size monitor has been tested on a circular machine. At CesrTA, Cornell University, USA, the sensitivity and limitations of the DR monitor for vertical beam size measurement has been investigated. DR emitted from 1 and 0.5 mm target apertures was observed at 400 and 600 nm wavelengths. In addition, interference between the DR signals emitted by the target and mask has been observed. In this report, we present the recent observations and discuss areas for improvement.

	Funding: Work performed under contract No. DE-AC02-98CH1-886 with the auspices of the DOE of United States RHIC polarized proton operation requires fast and reliable proton polarimeter for polarization monitoring during stores. Polarimeters based on p-Carbon elastic scattering in the Coulomb Nuclear Interference(CNI) region has been used. Two polarimeters are installed in each of the two collider rings and they are capable to provide important polarization profile information. The polarimeter also provides valuable information for polarization loss on the energy ramp. As the intensity increases over years, the carbon target lifetime is getting shorter and target replacement during operation is necessary. Simulations and experiment tests have been done to address the target lifetime issue. This paper summarizes the recent operation and the target test results.

	Laser driven plasma accelerators are offering high gradient (~ 10-100GV/m), high quality (low emittance, short bunch length) electron beams which can be suitable for future compact, bright and tunable light sources. In the framework of the Laboratory for Laser- and beam-driven plasma Acceleration (LAOLA) collaboration at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) the external injection experiment for injecting electron bunches from a conventional RF accelerator into the linear plasma wave is in progress. External injection experiments at REGAE (Relativistic Electron gun for Atomic Exploration) require sub-10 fs precision synchronization of laser and electron beams in order to perform a beam scan into the plasma wave by varying the delay between electron beam and laser pulses. In this paper we present a novel optical to microwave synchronization scheme, based on a balanced single output integrated Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM). The scheme offers a highly sensitive phase detector between a pulsed 800 nm Ti:Sa laser and a 3GHz microwave reference source. It is virtually independent of input laser power fluctuation and it offers femtosecond long-term precision. Together with the principal of operation of this setup, we will present promising preliminary experimental results of the detector stability.

TUPF10	Stability Study of the Higher Order Mode Beam Position Monitors at the Accelerating Cavities at FLASH	dipole, HOM, cavity, electronics	327
	L. Shi, N. Baboi DESY, Hamburg, Germany R.M. Jones UMAN, Manchester, United Kingdom
	When electron beams traverse an accelerating structure, higher order modes (HOMs) are excited. They can be used for beam diagnostic purposes. Both 1.3 GHz and 3.9 GHz superconducting accelerating cavities at FLASH linac, DESY, are equipped with electronics for beam position monitoring, which are based on HOM signals from special couplers. These monitors provide the beam position without additional vacuum components and at low cost. Moreover, they can be used to align the beam in the cavities to reduce the HOM effects on the beam. However, the HOMBPM (Higher Order Mode based Beam Position Monitor) shows an instability problem over time. In this paper, we will present the status of studies on this issue. Several methods are utilized to calibrate the HOMBPMs. These methods include DLR (Direct Linear Regression), and SVD (Singular Value Decomposition). We found that SVD generally is more suitable for HOMBPM calibration. We focus on the HOMBPMs at 1.3 GHz cavities. Techniques developed here are applicable to 3.9 GHz modules. The work will pave the way for HOMBPMs of the E-XFEL (European X-Ray Free Electron Laser).
