Alignment of beam position monitors in cryomodule of CADS injector Ⅱ

Significant temperature difference(300-77 K or even 4 K) can cause large deformations and displacements of the beam position monitors(BPMs),which affect BPMs measurement resolution or even cause their malfunction in cryogenic situations.In this paper,to check the offset from the mechanical to electrical center in low temperature(77 K),Fourier's law and finite element method are used to simulate cryo-deformation.Laser tracker and micro-alignment telescope are employed in combined BPM calibration,installation and monitoring.The calibration error is<0.02 mm,and the installation and monitoring precision are 0.06 mm and 0.01 mm,respectively.The monitored cryo-deformation agrees well with the simulation results.These indicate that the combined alignment can improve performance of the BPM system.All these guaranteed the success of running the 9.55 MeV@2.14 mA cw protons.

The parameters of beam transverse positions at HLS 200 MeV LINAC are very important to injection ef-ficiency. We have designed a new non-interceptive strip line beam position monitor (BPM) as a substitution for the original interceptive fluorescent target. This paper gives out the theoretical analysis and bench test result of the strip line BPM. The BPM has a characteristic impedance of (50±5)?, a reflection coefficient of less than –4 dB, a band-width of 400 MHz, a coupling coefficient of less than -15 dB, and a sensitivity of 1.16 dB/mm. Additionally, the strip line BPM has a good linearity.

Beam position monitors as precise phase pickups for beam energy measurement at the Compact Pulsed Hadron Source

The 13-MeV proton linac of the Compact Pulsed Hadron Source(CPHS) at Tsinghua University, China,is composed of a 50-keV electron cyclotron resonance proton source, a 3-MeV four-vane-type radio-frequency quadrupole(RFQ) accelerator, and a drift tube linac(DTL). Precise measurement of the beam energies at the exit of the RFQ and the DTL is critical for DTL commissioning. Two button-type beam position monitors(BPMs) installed downstream of the RFQ are used to perform the measurement using a time-of-flight method. The effects of several factors on phase measurement accuracy are analyzed. The phase measurement accuracy of the BPMs at CPHS is better than ± 1.03° at 325 MHz after corrections,corresponding to an energy measurement error of± 0.07%. The beam energy measured at the exit of the RFQ is 2.994 ± 0.0022 MeV,which is consistent with the design value.

Diagnostic Method for Beam Position Monitor Based on Clustering by Fast Search and Find of Density Peaks

Beam position monitors(BPMs)are important to monitor the beam moving steadily.Keeping the beam's normal motion is an important mission for Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility.Effective diagnostic analysis is an important way to accomplish this task.This paper develops a new method based on clustering analysis to diagnose the healthy of BPMs with basic running data,i.e.,the β oscillation of X and Y directions and noise data.The analysis results showed that all beam position monitors(140 BPMs)can be classified into three groups:normal group,worse performance group,and fault group,respectively.In addition,the abnormal BPMs(including worse performance)could be marked.The new method showed its ability to handle faulty BPMs and it could instruct daily maintenance.On the other hand,it will be a useful supplement for data analysis in accelerator physics.

Development of a PSD-based photon beam position measurement system

As an important part of the beam diagnostic system, the synchrotron light beam position measurement has a very high value in the high quality and high stability light source applied research. A new photon beam position monitor based on position-sensitive detector (PSD) has been developed to measure the photon beam position in vertical and horizontal directions at the same time at HLS (Hefei Light Source). The new PBPM based on the PSD has fast response speed, high sensitivity and wide dynamic range. This PBPM system also includes the C4674 signal processing circuit, NI USB-9215 data acquisition device and the LABVIEW data acquisition program. This PBPM system has been calibrated vertically and horizontally on-line, and then has been applied in the beam line B3EA of HLS to measure the position of the synchrotron light. As the results shown, the resolution of the system is better than 3 mm.

Research into the sampling methods of digital beam position measurement

A fully digital beam position monitoring system(DBPM) has been designed for SSRF(Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility). As analog-to-digital converter(ADC) is a crucial part in the DBPM system, the sampling methods should be studied to achieve optimum performance. Different sampling modes were used and compared through tests. Long term variation among four sampling channels, which would introduce errors in beam position measurement, is investigated. An interleaved distribution scheme was designed to address this issue. To evaluate the sampling methods, in-beam tests were conducted in SSRF. Test results indicate that with proper sampling methods, a turn-by-turn(TBT) position resolution better than 1 μm is achieved, and the slow-acquisition(SA) position resolution is improved from 4.28 μm to 0.17 μm.

Electro-mechanical offset measurements of beam position monitors

Purpose The absolute beam position measurement in the booster and storage ring of the high energy photon source(HEPS)requires the offset between the electrical and mechanical centers of the beam position monitor(BPM).Method Traditionally,an RF signal is sent to an antenna or stretched wire aligned with the vacuum chamber,and the signal at each electrode is measured.Conversely,a replacement method using a vector network analyzer,which was proposed by Lambertson,does not involve mechanical alignment and can be used for electrical offset determination.Results and conclusions The electro-mechanical offsets of booster BPMs of the HEPS were measured using the Lambertson method.The result shows good agreement with the stretched wire method within a 30μm error.

A new measurement method for electrode gain in an orthogonally symmetric beam position monitor

The new beam position monitor（BPM） system of the injector at the upgrade project of the Hefei Light Source（HLS II） has 19 stripline beam position monitors. Most consist of four orthogonally symmetric stripline electrodes. Differences in electronic gain and mismachining tolerance can cause changes in the beam response of the BPM electrodes. This variation will couple the two measured horizontal positions, resulting in measuring error. To alleviate this effect, a new technique to measure the relative response of the four electrodes has been developed. It is independent of the beam charge, and the related coefficient can be calculated theoretically. The effect of electrode coupling on this technique is analyzed. The calibration data is used to fit the gain for all 19 injector beam position monitors. The results show the standard deviation of the distribution of measured gains is about 5%.
