Beam Position Monitor Development for the Usr*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Capacitive pick-ups for closed-orbit measurements are presently under development for an Ultra-low energy Storage Ring (USR) at the future Facility for Low-energy Antiproton and Ion Research (FLAIR). Low-intensity, low-energy antiprotons impose challenging demands on the sensitivity of the monitoring system. The nondestructive beam position monitors (BPMs) should be able to measure about 10 particles and give sufficient information on the beam trajectory. This contribution presents the status of the BPM project development. Main goals of the investigation include optimization of the mechanical design and preparation of a narrowband signal processing system.

Thin Foil-based Secondary Emission Monitor for Low Intensity, Low Energy Beam Profile Measurements∗
A foil-based secondary emission monitor (SEM) was developed for beam profile measurements at the Ultra-low energy Storage Ring (USR) that will be installed at the future Facility for Low-energy Antiproton and Ion Research (FLAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany. Simulations of the optimised design of the monitor are presented. Furthermore, its usability for the low energy antiproton (p̄) beam profile moni...
متن کاملResidual Gas X-ray Beam Position Monitor for Petra-iii
The development effort is driven by the need for a new type of x-ray beam position monitor, which can detect the centre of gravity of the undulator beam. A residual gas xray beam position monitor for the PETRA III storage ring was developed and tested.
متن کاملInvestigations of the Beam Dynamics in the USR
For the USR to fulfil its role in the FLAIR project, the development of novel and challenging methods and technologies is necessary: the combination of the electrostatic storage mode with a deceleration of the stored ions from 300 keV to 20 keV, electron cooling at all energies in both longitudinal and transverse phase-space, bunching of the stored beam to ultra-short pulses in the nanosecond r...

For destructive beam intensity measurements, electrostatic Faraday cups will be incorporated into the Ultra-low energy Storage Ring (USR) and its transfer lines at the Facility for Low-energy Antiproton and Ion Research (FLAIR). This multi-purpose machine will offer both slow and fast extracted beams resulting in a wide range of intensities and varying time structure of the beam. In this contri...
