A fast beam profile monitor using visible synchrotron radiation (SR) has been constructed and installed in Cornell Electron Storage Ring. This monitor utilizes fast readout electronics based on the Hamamatsu H7260K multi-anode photomultiplier, which has a 32-channel linear array with 1mm channel pitch and sub-nanosecond rise time. In a low emittance lattice at 2 GeV, a double-slit interferometer is employed to measure the horizontal beam size. After careful calibration of the interference pattern, the horizontal beam size within a range of 100 to 500 microns can be measured with a precision of ±5 microns. Due to finite array size, the small vertical beam size is measured by imaging the pi-polarized component of the SR. The fast beam profile monitor is capable of measuring bunch-by-bunch turn-by-turn transverse beam sizes, which eliminates beam jitter inherent when imaging the average beam size with a CCD camera. Details of hardware and software controls are also discussed.
