  In the SPring-8 linac, four-electrode beam position monitors (BPMs) have been utilized for the measurement of the transverse first-order moments, which correspond to the centroids of beam charge distributions. We have planed to measure the transverse second-order moments of beams to obtain information of beam optics and its energy deviations during the top-up beam injection without destruction of beams. Therefore, six-electrode BPMs with circular and quasi-ellipse cross-sections have been developed on the basis of a newly introduced theory. A low-noise signal processor for the six-electrode BPM has also been developed to perform fine measurement. We expected the following resolutions determined by the S/N ratio of the circuit; the first order moments (beam positions) > 1 μm, and the second order moments with a size > 110 μm. The first beam test was carried out using the six-electrode BPM with circular cross-section and the old signal processor. The measured sensitivities and resolutions of the second-order moments showed good agreement with the theory.

  The 1GeV SPring-8 linac is an injector for the SPring-8 synchrotron radiation storage ring with 8GeV booster synchrotron. In recent years, backup systems were installed to eliminate long-time interruption of the beam injections: The main gun system is usually operated, and the second gun is always pre-heated and can inject electron beams into a buncher section with an interval of several minutes in case the main gun failed. The first klystron, that feeds RF powers to the buncher system and the downstream klystrons, can be relieved by the next klystron with an interval of about 20 minutes by switching the waveguide circuit. When one of the eleven working klystrons faults, one of standby klystrons, which are kept for hot spares on line, is automatically activated to accelerate beams instead of the failed one without beam interruption. The total downtime in FY2012 was 0.12% in top-up operation user time. The averaged fault frequency was 0.2 times per day.
