The Beam Current Monitor system of the ESS will be primarily used for beam current and charge measurements in absolute and differential modes. Moreover, it will provide a fast input to the Beam Interlock System, initiating a trigger to shut the beam off upon high beam loss detection. As the BCM system will be needed at an early stage for Linac commissioning, it needs to work successfully under non-optimal conditions, ex. short pulse and low current beams. It is planned to install in total 20 AC Current Transformers and one Fast Current Transformer along the Linac. The FCT will have a larger bandwidth and it will be used to measure the performance of the fast chopper of the Medium Energy Beam Transport with a rise time of 10 ns. A prototype based on a commercial ACCT and EPICS-integrated MTCA.4 electronics has been set up and successfully tested with an emulated beam. The ACCT signal has been FPGA processed to compensate for the offset and droop as well as filtering and synchronization to an external trigger. This paper gives an overview of the design and test results of the prototype ACCT system with an outlook to future modifications before installation in the ESS Linac.

PRDS (Phase reference distribution system) at ESS will provide phase reference signals for all LLRF systems and BPM systems with low phase noise and low phase drift. Phase stability requirement is currently 0.1° for short term (during pulse), 1° for long term (days to months). There are 155 LLRF systems and 165 BPM systems in total at current ESS accelerator design.
