  The microbunching instability is an ubiquitous problem in storage rings at high current density. However, the involved fast time-scales hampered the possibility to make direct real-time recordings of theses structures. When the structures occur at a cm scale, recent works at UVSOR*, revealed that direct recording of the CSR electric field with ultra-high speed electronics (17 ps) provides extremely precious informations on the microbunching dynamics. However, when CSR occurs at THz frequencies (and is thus out of reach of electronics), the problem remained largely open. Here we present a new opto-electronic strategy that enabled to record series of successive electric field pulses shapes with picosecond resolution (including carrier and envelope), every 12 ns, over a total duration of several milliseconds. We also present the first experimental results obtained with this method at Synchrotron SOLEIL, above the microbunching instability threshold, and we present direct tests of Vlasov-Fokker-Planck and macroparticle models. The method can be applied to the detection of ps electric fields in other situations where high repetition rate is also an issue.

  The commissioning of a new real-time and high-accuracy data acquisition system suitable for recording individual ultra-short coherent pulses detected by fast terahertz detectors will be presented. The system is able to monitor turn-by-turn all buckets in streaming mode. The main board consists of a direct sampling board operating with a minimum sampling time of 3 psec and a time jitter less than 1.7 psec. The very low noise layout design combined with a wide dynamic range and bandwidth of the analog front-end allows to sample pulse signals generated by various GHz/THz detectors, like NbN and YBCO superconductor film detectors or zero biased Schottky Diode detectors. The digitized data is transmitted to the DAQ system by an FPGA readout board with a data transfer rate of 4 GByte/s. The setup is accomplished by a real-time data processing unit based on high-end graphics processors (GPUs) for on-line analysis of the frequency behaviour of the coherent synchrotron emissions. The system has been successfully used to study the beam properties of the ANKA synchrotron radiation source located at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and operating in the energy range between 0.5-2.5 GeV

High-Tc thin-film YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) detectors were deployed for the real-time observation of Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR). Due to enhanced fabrication techniques enabling the patterning of sub-μm sized detector areas responsivity values as high as 1V/pJ for pulsed THz excitations have been achieved at the ANKA synchrotron facility at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Response of the detectors is linear over the whole dynamic range of the IR1 beamline. Combining the picosecond scaled response mechanism of the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) to THz excitations with broad-band readout a temporal resolution of 15 ps full width at half maximum (FWHM) was reached. Real-time resolution of CSR single shots was observed at ANKA and UVSOR-III, the synchrotron facility of the Institute of Molecular Science in Okazaki, Japan.

  MedAustron is a synchrotron based accelerator complex, used for cancer treatment as well as for non-clinical research, and is situated in Wiener Neustadt, Austria. Cosylab has been working closely with MedAustron to develop the core accelerator control system and is now also working on on-site integration of beam diagnostics (BD) devices. These devices are critical for commissioning of the accelerator as well as later during regular operation to ensure high up-time of the machine. Beam instrumentation devices are fully integrated into the Front End Controller Operating System (FECOS) of the accelerator. FECOS is a custom designed control system framework implemented in LabVIEW, which provides unified interfaces and core services to all software components in the system. The Master Timing System component provides configurable real-time events distribution (triggers), essential for measurement and control in sections where the beam is bunched and device actions need to be synchronized. Both companies, MedAustron and Cosylab also developed user interfaces that are designed to be intuitive, while maintaining a level of flexibility for physics research.
