  Ground motion compensation using feed-forward control is a novel technique being developed to combat beam imperfections resulting from the vibration-induced misalignment of beamline components. The method is being evaluated experimentally at the KEK Accelerator Test Facility 2 (ATF2). It has already been demonstrated that the beam position correlates with the readings from a set of seismometers located along the beamline. To compensate for this contribution to the beam jitter, the fully operational system will use realtime measurement and processing in order to calculate and apply the feed-forward correction on a useful time scale. The progress towards a working system is presented in this paper.

  A nanometer beam size in the interaction point (IP) is required in case of future linear colliders for achieving the desired rate of particle collisions. KEK Accelerator Test Facility (ATF2), a scaled down implementation of the beam delivery system (BDS), serves for investigating the limits of electron beam focusing at the interaction point. The goal of the ultra-low beta∗ study is to lower the IP vertical beam size by lowering the betay∗ value while keeping the betax∗ value unchanged. Good control over the beam optics is therefore required. The first experience with low beta∗ optics revealed a mismatch between the optics designed in the model with respect to the beam parameters observed in the experiment. Additionally, existing methods of beam parameters characterization at the IP were biased with high uncertainties making it difficult to set the desired optics. In this paper we report on the new method introduced in ATF2 for IP beam parameters characterization which gives a good control over the applied optics and makes the ultra-low beta∗ study possible to conduct. It can be also used for verifying the performance of some of the existing beam instrumentation devices.

  A single vertical beam halo collimation system has been installed in the ATF2 beamline to reduce the background that could limit the precision of the diagnostics located in the post-IP beamline. On this paper the commissioning and first performance studies of a single vertical beam halo collimation system are reported. Furthermore realistic efficiency studies have been done using the simulation code BDSIM and compared with the first experimental tests.
