	I.N. Meshkov JINR, Dubna, Moscow Region, Russia
	Status of the project of Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility NICA/MPD (MultiPurpose Detector) under development at JINR (Dubna) is presented. The general goals of the project are providing of colliding beams for experimental studies of both hot and dense strongly interacting baryonic matter and search for the mixed phase and critical endpoint. Spin physics experimental studies in collisions of polarized protons (deuterons) are planned as the second stage of the project. The first program requires providing of heavy ion collisions in the energy range of squrt(s) = 4-11 GeV at average luminosity of L = 10²⁷ cm^-2 s⁻¹ for Au⁷⁹⁺. The polarized beams mode is proposed to be used in energy range of squart(s) = 12-27 GeV (protons) at luminosity of 10³⁰ cm^-2 s⁻¹. The key issue of the project is application of both stochastic and electron cooling methods at the NICA collider. The latter will be used in the NICA Booster for preliminary formation of the ion beam. The report contains description of the facility scheme and characteristics in heavy ion operation mode, the discussion of luminosity life time limitations, status and plans of the project development.

	V.V. Smaluk BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York, USA
	For the NSLS-II synchrotron light source, a Booster synchrotron has been designed and produced by Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. The Booster accelerates an electron beam from 200 MeV up to 3 GeV in both single-bunch and multi-bunch modes with repetition rate of 1 Hz. Accurate measurements of beam parameters are required during every work cycle to provide feed-forward tuning of the Booster. A set of beam diagnostic instruments has been developed for the Booster commissioning and operation. Six fluorescent screens are used for the first-turn beam observation. Electrostatic BPMs with signal processing electronics developed by BNL provide measurements of closed orbit and lattice functions as well as single-pass beam measurements for commissioning. A DC current transformer is used to measure average beam current and lifetime; the filling pattern is monitored by a fast current transformer. Two light-output ports are set up for observation of the beam image. Tune measurement system provides frequent measurements of betatron tunes during the energy ramp. Design and performance of the Booster beam instrumentation are presented; the commissioning plan is also discussed.

	The induction method of magnetic measurement is the most important, widely used and oldest measurement method for particle accelerator magnets. Nevertheless, both the new demands of the accelerator techniques and possibilities of modern electronics stimulate the creation of more accurate and fast instrumentation, based on the induction method. This report describes the multimode integrators intended for magnetic measurements with the relative accuracy better than 10^-4 and even better than 10^-5 in special cases. Integrators provide high accuracy level both for the constant magnetic field measurements using movable coils and for the pulse measurements also. Modern digital techniques are used to get the partial integral of signal in the strongly determined time interval. The paper considers theoretical issues of the digital integration technique and related error sources. The structure of digital integrator is presented, and key features are listed. In conclusion a brief description of two magnetic measurement systems is given. The first system is used to measure the magnetic field transverse distribution in pulse elements, and the second one – to measure the harmonics in magnetic lenses with constant field.

	The Photo Injector Test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ) is the test stand of the electron source for the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL). The main goal of the facility is the detailed characterization of the electron bunch parameters produced by the RF photo-cathode gun. Characterization of the bunch longitudinal properties such as bunch length or longitudinal phase space earlier was done using a streak camera, which measures the Cherenkov light produced by electron bunches passing through aerogel radiators. Recently, a Transverse Deflecting Structure (TDS) and a Second High Energy Dispersive Arm (HEDA2) were installed in the PITZ beamline. They will enable time resolved measurements of the electron bunch with much better time resolution than the streak camera system. The first results of the commissioning of the HEDA2 section at PITZ are presented in this contribution.
