  With vertical dimensions of several microns, direct measurement of beam size is approaching diffraction limits of visible light and hard x-ray emittance diagnostics. We report on the development of a new vertical electron beam size measurement and monitoring technique which utilizes a vertical undulator. An APPLE-II type undulator was phased to produce a horizontal magnetic field, deflecting the electron beam in the vertical plane. The measured ratios of undulator spectral peak heights are evaluated by fitting to simulations of the apparatus. Vertical electron beam emittances of several picometres have been observed at the Australian Synchrotron storage ring. With this apparatus immediately available at most existing electron and positron storage rings, we find this to be an appropriate and novel vertical emittance diagnostic.

  An initial design for a Fast Global Orbit Feedback System based on FPGAs has been proposed for the Australian Synchrotron Light Source (ASLS). The design uses a central processor (Xilinx Virtex 6) for all the computations and fast optical connections to distribute the computed data to corrector magnet power supplies. The network topology consists of two fibre optic rings. The first ring is used by the Libera Electron's to aggregate the beam position data at 10 kHz using Instrumentation Technologies' Grouping algorithm. The second ring is used to transmit the computed data. The cycle frequency of the feedback is 10 kHz with a targeted total latency of under 350 us. We shall give an overview of the design goals and discuss the merits of the current implementation. We shall also present the measured bandwidth of the stainless steel vacuum chamber and test results from initial prototyping work.
