Electrostatic BPMs are composed of four electrodes that transduce the associated electromagnetic field to the beam into electrical signal allowing the calculation of the beam parameters mentioned above. During commissioning and/or experiences phases that needs very low beam current; the precision of the BPM measurements is reduced due to the low sensitivity of electrostatic BPM to beam current. This paper addresses the design, the realization and the testing of a new set of electrostatic BPMs with large electrodes. It emphasizes the strong points of these BPMs in comparison with BPMs present in SPIRAL2 facility PB - JACoW CP - Geneva, Switzerland SP - 334 EP - 336 KW - simulation KW - instrumentation KW - quadrupole KW - linac KW - monitoring DA - 2017/02 PY - 2017 SN - 978-3-95450-177-9 DO - 10.18429/JACoW-IBIC2016-TUPG09 UR - http://jacow.org/ibic2016/papers/tupg09.pdf ER -
