Methods and Instrumentation for Bunch Shape Measurements
نویسنده
چکیده
Bunch shape is one of the most important and interesting characteristics of a beam in ion linear accelerators. Recently detectors of bunch shape with a transverse scanning of low energy secondary electrons found application in several accelerators. The principle of operation of the detectors is based on a coherent transformation of a longitudinal structure of a beam under study into a transverse distribution of a secondary electron beam through rf scanning. There are three modifications of the detectors: Bunch Shape Monitor, Bunch Length (Shape) and Velocity Detector and Three Dimensional Bunch Shape Monitor. The principle of operation of the detectors as well as the peculiarities of the structure and the design of the detectors are described. To demonstrate the possibilities of the detectors the results of measurements with different detectors made at different accelerators are presented.

Comparative Study of Bunch Length and Arrival Time Measurements at Flash
Diagnostic devices to precisely measure the longitudinal electron beam profile and the bunch arrival time require elaborate new instrumentation techniques. At FLASH, two entirely different methods are used. The bunch profile can be determined with high precision by a transverse deflecting RF structure, but the method is disruptive and does not allow to monitor multiple bunches in a macro-pulse ...
متن کاملControl of Multibunch Longitudinal Instabilities and Beam Diagnostics Using a DSP-based Feedback System
A bunch-by-bunch longitudinal feedback system has been designed and built o control coupled-bunch instabilities in the PEP-I1 machine. A prototype system has been installed at the Advanced Light Source at LBNL. Programmable DSPs allow longitudinal feedback processing in conjunction with data acquisition or instrumentation algorithms. Here we describe techniques developed for different beam and ...
متن کاملNon-intercepting electron beam diagnostics using diffraction ra- diation
The Linear Collider presents new challenges for beam instrumentation. Some of the beam dimensions are of the order of a few nm (at the i.p.), and to be able to reach these small sizes, the beams have to be tightly controlled and understood from their very inception onward. A number of different techniques are available in the arsenal of beam size and beam emittance measurements (e.g. transition...
متن کاملSingle Bunch Radiation Loss Studies at Slac
The experiments described in this paper have been prompted by interest in the radiation loss of relativistic electron rings passing through periodic structures. In these experiments, single bunches of electrons with intensities up to log particles per bunch are accelerated through the SLAC three-kilometer accelerator and their energy spectrum is analyzed. Although only a limited number of measu...
متن کاملCoherent electron cooling proof of principle instrumentation design
The goal of the Coherent Electron Cooling Proof-ofPrinciple (CeC PoP) [1] experiment being designed at RHIC is to demonstrate longitudinal (energy spread) cooling before the expected CD-2 for eRHIC. The scope of the experiment is to longitudinally cool a single bunch of 40 GeV/u gold ions in RHIC. This paper will describe the instrumentation systems proposed to meet the diagnostics challenges. ...
