The beam position monitor (BPM) system at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) has been upgraded for use in both CESR Test Accelerator (CesrTA) and Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) operations. CesrTA operates with electron and positron bunch trains with as little as 4ns bunch spacing. CHESS operates with simultaneous counter-rotating electron and positron trains with 14ns bunch spacing. The upgraded BPM system provides high resolution measurement capability as is needed for the CesrTA ultra low emittance operations, turn-by-turn digitization of multiple bunches for beam dynamics studies, and the capability for real-time dual beam monitoring in CHESS conditions. In addition to standard position measurement capability, the system is also required to measure betatron phase by synchronous detection of a driven beam for optics diagnosis and correction. This paper describes the characteristics of the BPM hardware upgrade, performance figures of the electronics designed for this purpose and the overall status of the upgrade effort. Examples of key measurement types and the analysis of data acquired from the new instruments will also be presented.

During the last several years CESR has been studying the effects of electron clouds on stored beams in order to understand their impact on future linear-collider damping ring designs. One of the important issues is the way that the electron cloud alters the dynamics of bunches within the train. Techniques for observing the dynamical effects of beams interacting with the electron clouds have been developed. These methods will be discussed and examples of measurements will be presented.

We report on the design and operation of the CesrTA x-ray beam size monitor (xBSM). The xBSM resolution must be sufficient to measure vertical beam sizes of order 10um by imaging 2-4keV synchrotron radiation photons onto a one-dimensional photodiode array. Instrumentation in the evacuated x-ray beam line includes upstream interchangeable optics elements (slits, coded apertures, and Fresnel zone plates), a monochromator and an InGaAs photodiode detector. The readout is a beam-synchronized FADC that is capable of parallel measurement of consecutive bunches with 4ns spacing. The xBSM has been used to measure beam sizes during the August 2009, November 2009, and April 2010 runs. Single turn measurements are fit to characteristic image shapes to extract beam sizes independent of position variations. The turn-averaged beam size provides feedback for low-emittance tuning.

The Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) has been reconfigured as a test accelerator (CesrTA) for a program of electron cloud (EC) research at ultra low emittance. The instrumentation in the ring has been upgraded with local diagnostics for measurement of cloud density and with improved beam diagnostics for the characterization of both the low emittance performance and the beam dynamics of high intensity bunch trains interacting with the cloud. Finally a range of EC mitigation methods have been deployed and tested. Measurements of cloud density and its impact on the beam under a range of conditions will be presented and compared with simulations. The effectiveness of a range of mitigation techniques will also be discussed.
