Software development, simulations and hardware improvements to the Multi-Optical Transition Radiation System installed in the beam diagnostic section of the Extraction (EXT) line of ATF2 are described. 2D emittance measurements have been performed and the system is being routinely used for coupling correction. Realistic beam simulations have been made and compared with the measurements. A 4D emittance procedure, yet to be implemented, is also discussed. A demagnifier lens system to improve the beam finding procedure has been designed and will be implemented in a future run. Finally, we discuss further verification work planned for the next run period of ATF.

	Funding: MICINN-FPA:AIC10-D-000518 Essential parts of the needed instrumentation for the beam control in the Hadrontherapy accelerators are the Beam Position Monitors (BPM). The measurement of the beam position in Hadronterapy accelerators become more important at the secondary transport lines towards the patient room where this parameter must be completely determined. The BPM described in this paper is a new type of BPM based on four scintillating fibers coupled to four photodiodes to detect the light produced by the fibers when intercepting the beam. We present here the study of the different photodiodes able to read the light emitted by the scintillating fiber, the tests performed in order to find the most suitable photodiode to measure the beam position from the variations in the beam current, the mechanical design and the corresponding acquisition electronics.

	Funding: Funding Agency: FPA2010-21456-C02-01 A series of Inductive Pick-Ups (IPU) for Beam Position Monitoring (BPM) with its associated electronics were designed, constructed and tested at IFIC. A full set of 16 BPMs, so called BPS units, were successfully installed in the Test Beam Line (TBL) of the CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) at CERN. In this paper we present the results of the beam test carried out on the BPS units of the TBL in order to determine their beam performances and check the specified operational requirements. We focus particularly on the position resolution parameter which is the BPS figure of merit according to TBL demands and is expected to reach the 5um resolution at maximum beam current (28A). The beam test results of the BPS units are also compared with the parameters from their previous characterization test at lab.

A series of Inductive Pick-Ups (IPU) for Beam Position Monitoring (BPM) with its associated electronics were designed, constructed and tested at IFIC. A full set of 16 BPMs, so called BPS units, were successfully installed in the Test Beam Line (TBL) of the CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) at CERN. In this paper we present the results of the beam test carried out on the BPS units of the TBL in order to determine their beam performances and check the specified operational requirements. We focus particularly on the position resolution parameter which is the BPS figure of merit according to TBL demands and is expected to reach the 5um resolution at maximum beam current (28A).
