  As the design of the CLIC Beam Delivery System (BDS) evolves, tuning simulations must be performed on each of the proposed lattice designs to see which system achieves the highest luminosity in the most realistic manner. This work will focus on the tuning simulations performed on the so-called Traditional lattice design for the center-of-mass energy of 3 TeV. The lattice modifications required to target the most important aberrations and the latest tuning results will be presented.

  A high-resolution, low-latency beam position monitor (BPM) system has been developed for use in feedback systems at particle accelerators and beamlines that operate with trains of particle bunches with bunch separations as low as several tens of nanoseconds, such as future linear electron-positron colliders and free-electron lasers. The system was tested with electron beams in the extraction line of the Accelerator Test Facility at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Japan. The fast analogue front-end signal processor is based on a single-stage RF down-mixer, with a measured latency of 15.6 ± 0.1 ns. The processor has been optimised, doubling the maximum operating beam intensity up to 1.6 nC, and the signal processing in the custom digital acquisition board has been upgraded in order to improve the resolution beyond the 300 nm level measured previously. The latest results, demonstrating a position resolution of order 150 nm with single-pass beam, will be presented.

  The International Linear Collider (ILC), as described in its Technical Design Report (TDR), must maintain strict control of its electron and positron beams in order to achieve the desired luminosity at each of its proposed center-of-mass energies. Controlling the beam parameters requires a dynamic system, capable of adjusting to a myriad of perturbations and errors. One of the components used to control the beam is the Interaction Point (IP) feedback system, which is used to dynamically steer the beams back into collision within nanoseconds. This work will show the simulation of the IP Feedback system's compensation for ground motion model K at the ILC.

  A low-latency feedback system has been designed and tested to achieve inter-bunch position stabilisation at the final focus of the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF2) at KEK. 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.
