Dielectric Pick-Up for Short Bunches | |
|

| Novel acceleration schemes pose new challenges to the beam instrumentation required. This contribution presents a novel device to measure the beam position, enabling the discrimination of different co-propagating beams. The method leverages the characteristic properties of the Coherent Cherenkov-Diffraction Radiation (ChDR) emitted from dielectric inserts in the beampipe. The beam discrimination is performed in the frequency domain, exploiting the bunch length difference of the two beams. This device was developed for the AWAKE experiment, where not only an electron beam co-propagates with a more intense proton beam, but also traditional pickups are impacted by the environment polluted with spurious charges from the plasma. The electron beam discrimination takes place in a narrow band around 30 GHz. The overall design and results from the AWAKE experiment are presented. The utilisation of coherent ChDR to distinguish different co-propagating beams is a substantial novelty in the field, pushing the instruments capabilities for novel accelerating technologies, such as plasma-based accelerators. | ||

| MOP009 | A Snapshot of CERN Beam Instrumentation R&D Activities | 49 |
|

| The CERN accelerator complex stands out as an unique scientific tool, distinguished by its scale and remarkable diversity. Its capacity to explore a vast range of beam parameters is truly unparalleled, spanning from the minute energies of around a few keV and microampere antiproton beams, decelerated within the CERN antimatter factory, to the 6.8 TeV high-intensity proton beams that race through the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) ring plays also a crucial role by slowly extracting protons at 400 GeV. These proton currents are then directed toward various targets, generating all sorts of secondary particle beams. These beams, in turn, become the foundation of a diverse fixed-target research program, enabling scientific exploration across a wide spectrum. Moreover, as CERN looks ahead to future studies involving electron-positron colliders, the development of cutting-edge diagnostics for low emittance, short electron pulses is also underway. This contribution serves as a snapshot, shedding light on the main R&D initiatives currently underway at CERN in the field of beam instrumentation. | ||

| TUP022 | Characterisation of Cherenkov Diffraction Radiation Using Electro-Optical Methods | 226 |
|
||
| The properties of Cherenkov diffraction radiation (ChDR) have been studied extensively during the recent years to be exploited for non-invasive beam diagnostic devices for short bunches. The dependence of charge and the influence of the bunch form factor on the coherent part of the radiated spectrum have been demonstrated and studied in the past. However, the actual field strength of coherent ChDR as well as its study in time domain need further investigation. In this contribution we are using electro-optical techniques to investigate and quantify these parameters. The electro-optical read-out brings the advantage of high bandwidth acquisition and insensitivity to electromagnetic interference, whereas at the same time a large fraction of the acquisition setup can be installed and operated outside of the radiation controlled areas. We will present experimental results from the CLEAR facility at CERN as well as simulations of the peak field of the temporal profile of beam-generated ChDR pulses. | ||
