Development of a fast, single-pass, micron-resolution beam position monitor signal processor: Beam test results from ATF2
IPAC 2010 - 1st International Particle Accelerator Conference (2010) 1152-1154
Abstract:
We present the design of a stripline beam position monitor (BPM) signal processor with low latency (c. 10ns) and micron-level spatial resolution in single-pass mode. Such a BPM processor has applications in singlepass beamlines such as those at linear colliders and FELs. The processor was deployed and tested at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF2) extraction line at KEK, Japan. We report the beam test results and processor performance, including response, linearity, spatial resolution and latency.Latest beam test results from ATF2 with the font ILC prototype intra-train beam feedback systems

Abstract:
We present the design and beam test results of a prototype beam-based digital feedback system for the Interaction Point of the International Linear Collider. A custom analogue front-end signal processor, FPGA-based digital signal processing boards, and kicker drive amplifier have been designed, built, deployed and tested with beam in the extraction line of the KEK Accelerator Test Facility (ATF2). The system was used to provide orbit correction to the train of bunches extracted from the ATF damping ring. The latency was measured to be approximately 140 ns.Present status and first results of the final focus beam line at the KEK Accelerator Test Facility
