  The "eyes" that enable us to see the particle beams are called Beam Position Monitors. BPM design is based on detection of electric fields of the bunches passing through electrodes located inside the vacuum chamber. The weak electric signals are filtered, amplified and digitized to provide us with the orbit data. The progress with advancing the BPM accuracy, sensitivity, speed and data volume has escalated manyfold in the last few decades following the rapid growth of capabilities of the modern electronics. In my presentation I will go over the basic principles, the history and the future prospects of BPM diagnostics for particle accelerators. Concurrently I will introduce our home-grown solution for NSLS-II RF BPMs and present the accomplishments to date, experience from operations and studies and an outlook at the future developments in both Analog and Digital domains of our devices. NSLS-II has 250 BPMs that include several generations and our units demonstrate an outstanding level of both reliability and performance.

The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) is being built at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). Early preliminary design phase efforts are underway. In addition to upgrading the existing RHIC instrumentation for the EIC hadron storage ring, new electron accelerator subsystems that include a 400 MeV Linac, rapid-cycling synchrotron, electron storage ring, and a strong hadron cooling facility will have all new instrumentation systems. The scope of the instrumentation includes devices to measure beam position, loss, current, charge, tune, transverse and longitudinal profiles, emittance, and crabbing angles. A description of the planned instruments and the present design status will be presented.

The Advanced Photon Source upgrade (APS-U) Multi-Bend Acromat (MBA) storage ring utilizes on-axis swap-out injection requiring up to 20nC charge per electron bunch. Enforcement of radiation safety limits for the new storage ring will be accomplished by a new beam charge monitor interlock that accumulates beam charge measurements in the Booster-to-Storage ring (BTS) transfer line and disables injection when the charge limit over a preset time period is exceeded. The new interlock is based on the existing APS Beam Shut-Off Current Monitor (BESOCM), and incorporates significant improvements over the existing system. New features include use of direct digitization and FPGA processing, extensive remote monitoring capabilities, expanded self-test and fail-safe functions, and the ability to adjust settings and monitor status remotely via EPICS. The new device integrates a test pulse (self-check) feature that verifies the integrity of the integrating beam current transformer (ICT) and cable system used to detect the beam signal. This paper describes the new BTS interlock (BESOCM) design and presents results of bench test and in-machine evaluation of the prototype and production units.
