This system has now been enhanced through the use of position information from two cavity beam position monitors (BPMs) to enable beam stabilisation at a third, intermediate location where a witness BPM measures the correction. Low-Q cavity BPMs were used, along with custom signal processing electronics designed for low latency and optimal position resolution. A custom stripline kicker, power amplifier and digital feedback board were used to provide beam correction and feedback control. The system was tested in single-pass, multi-bunch mode with the aim of providing inter-bunch beam stabilisation on electron bunches of charge ~1 nC separated in time by 280 ns. In 2015 a single BPM feedback system demonstrated beam stabilisation to below 75 nm. To date the two BPM input feedback system has demonstrated beam stabilisation to 83 ± 6 nm. This performance is limited by the current understanding of the cavity BPM resolution. Work will be described with the aim of improving this result.
