MOPD17 | Beam-based HOM Study in Third Harmonic SC Cavities for Beam Alignment at FLASH | 77 |
|

Funding: Work supported by European Commission under the FP7 Research Infrastructures grant agreement No.227579. An electron beam entering an accelerator cavity excites higher order modes (HOM). These are radiated to HOM couplers, subsequently damped, and can also be used to facilitate beam monitoring. The modes which deflect the beam transversely are the focus of this study and are used to monitor the beam position. Results are presented on the first analysis of beam alignment based on HOM signals from the third harmonic cavities at FLASH. The electrical center of each mode is ascertained by moving the beam to minimize the HOM signal detected. A single electron bunch per RF pulse is used. |

MOPD19 | Button BPM Development for the European XFEL | 83 |

Button beam position monitors will be the main BPM type used to measure the electron beam position at the European XFEL. Two different kinds of buttons are necessary: one type will be installed in the acceleration modules of the cold linac and the other in the warm environment. The electro-magnetic design of the feedthrough for both types of buttons will be discussed. A comparison of the designed and measured RF properties will be presented. In addition to the usual RF properties, also the properties at cryogenic level will play a role. HOM power must not heat up the BPM feedthroughs, in order to keep the cryo load of an overall accelerator module low, and also to prevent damage due to large temperature gradients over the ceramics of the feedthrough. First measurements with beam at FLASH show good agreement of the measured signals with the expectation. | ||
