  The LHC Schottky system has been under commissioning since summer 2010. This non destructive observation relies on a slotted waveguide structure resonating at 4.8GHz. Four monitors, one for each plane of the two counter-rotating LHC beams, are used to measure the transverse Schottky sidebands Electronic gating allows selective bunch-by-bunch measurements, while a triple down-mixing scheme combined with heavy filtering gives an instantaneous dynamic range of over 100dB within a 20kHz bandwidth. Observations of both proton and lead ion Schottky spectra will be discussed along with a comparison of predicted and measured performance.

  The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a based on a 2.5GeV superconducting linac, producing a 5MW beam. Since it is optimized for cold neutrons, there is no accumulator ring, and hence no need for change exchange injection. Therefore, unlike most other proposed MW-class linacs, the ESS linac will accelerate protons rather than H ions. This poses a particular challenge for beam size mesurements in the superconducting section. This paper discusses the ESS beam diagnostics requirements, along with some possible instrument design options.
