Synchrotron radiation has proven to be a flexible and effective tool for measuring a wide range of beam parameters in storage rings, in particular information about the longitudinal beam profile. It is today an established and widely used diagnostic method providing online measurements and thus allowing for continuous optimization of the machine performance. At the CLIC Test Facility (CTF3), synchrotron radiation is routinely used at a number of diagnostic stations, in particular in the Delay Loop and the Combiner Ring. Measurements with both standard CCDs and a streak camera showed the wide range of possible applications of this method, including determination of inter-bunch spacing, charge per pulse and monitoring of the manipulation of the effective path length by an undulator. This contribution first addresses the critical points during the design phase of long optical lines with lengths of more than 30 meters as they had to be realized at CTF3. Second, a summary of the present installations is given and results from measurements are shown. |
