  The X-ray profile monitor (XPM) is used for the beam size measurement in the KEK-ATF damping ring(ATF-DR) at all times. The XPM consists of a crystal monochromator, two Fresnel zone plates(FZPs) and X-ray CCD camera. Two FZPs make the imaging optics. The design resolution of the selected wavelength 3.8nm is less than 1μm, which is sufficiently small for the emittance measurement of the ATF-DR. However, the measured results at the early stage were affected by the mechanical vibration. This paper describes the improvement of the resolution and the measurement results.

  The technique of measuring the beam size in a particle accelerator with an optical interferometer with the Mitsuhashi apparatus is well established and one of the only direct measurement techniques available. However, one of the limitations of the technique is the dynamic range and noise level of CCD cameras when measuring ultra low emittance beams and hence visibilities close to unity. A new design has been successfully tested to overcome these limitations by introducing a know intensity imbalance in one of the light paths of the interferometer. This modification reduces the visibility in a controlled way and lifts the measured interference pattern out of the noise level of the CCD, thus increasing the dynamic range of the apparatus. Results are presented from tests at the ATF2 at KEK and on the optical diagnostic beamline at the Australian Synchrotron storage ring.
