MOPD61	Vertical Emittance Measurement at the ESRF	188

	In the short term the ESRF aims to reach emittances of less than 2 pm. We review the existing emittance diagnostics – X-ray projection monitors and pinhole cameras – and evaluate their ability to resolve such ultra-small vertical emittances. Even though these devices are reliable and show good agreement between measurements and theoretical predictions down to vertical emittance values of less than 10 pm, they will reach their limit of resolution for emittances decreasing below a few picometers. In addition to the existing emittance diagnostics, a new device was installed that images bending magnet radiation using compound refractive lenses (CRLs).

MOPD64	High Quality Measurements of Beam Lifetime, Instant-Partial-Beam Losses and Charge-Accumulation with the New ESRF BPM System	194
	K.B. Scheidt, F. Ewald, B. Joly ESRF, Grenoble, France
	The BPM system of the ESRF Storage Ring, that was entirely replaced by 224 units of the Libera-Brilliance system in 2009, is now also being used for precise and fast measurements of the Beam Lifetime and so-called Instant-Partial-BeamLosses. This is possible by the use of the Sum signal of the four BPM buttons on each of the 224 BPM stations in the Ring. This paper will describe the strong advantages in terms of response time, but also the precautions and the limitations of this particular use. Results will show the ultimate attainable performances and a detailed comparison with that of three independent DC current transformers also installed in the Ring. The same Sum signal is also usable for precise measurement of Accumulated Charge during the injection process and results of this will also be presented.

MOPD74	The New Fast Orbit Correction System of the ESRF Storage Ring	215
	E. Plouviez, F. Epaud, J.M. Koch, K.B. Scheidt ESRF, Grenoble, France
	The ESRF is upgrading the orbit correction system of its storage ring. The goal of this upgrade is to damp the effect on the orbit stability of the insertion devices during the changes of their settings, as well as the effect of the environmental vibrations and AC main power spurious fields; in order to achieve this goal we aim at a correction bandwith of 200Hz. The final system will use the data of 224 BPMs already equipped with Libera brilliance electronics. The correction will be applied by a set of 96 correctors implemented in the auxillary legs of the sextupolar magnets, driven by newly designed fast power supplies . The power supplies are controlled using a set of 8 FPGA boards connected to the power supplies inputs with serial links; these FPGA will also compute the correctors currents using the BPMs data. All the correctors and BPMs are now installed and interconnected and we have already performed orbit correction tests over 2 of the 32 cells of our storage ring using one single FPGA board controlling 6 correctors. These tests have allowed us to evaluate the final performance of the system. This paper presents this new system and the results of these tests.

MOPD92	Review of Recent Upgrades & Modernizations on Diagnostics in the ESRF Storage Ring and Injector	263

	Over the last two years a number of upgrades and modernizations have been implemented on diagnostic tools in both the Injector system and the Storage Ring. Brand new diagnostic tools have also been added. In the Injector, a new Transfer Line current monitor has been installed, as well as four new ¼ λ Striplines equipped with Single-Pass Libera electronics. In the Storage Ring, a new Visible Light Mirror (VLM) system has replaced the original system that had been in place for more than 15 years. Also, the acquisition system for the DC Current Transformers has been upgraded with new hardware. Descriptions and results are presented on the improved reliability, sensitivity and resolution of these systems.
