  Swiss­FEL is a Free Elec­tron Laser (FEL) fa­cil­ity being con­structed at PSI, based on a 5.8GeV nor­mally con­duct­ing main linac. A pho­to­cath­ode gun will gen­er­ate two bunches with 28ns spac­ing at 100Hz rep­e­ti­tion rate, with a nom­i­nal charge range of 10-200pC. A fast beam dis­tri­b­u­tion kicker will allow to dis­trib­ute one bunch to a soft X-ray un­du­la­tor line and the other bunch to a 0.1nm hard X-ray un­du­la­tor line. The Swiss­FEL elec­tron beam po­si­tion mon­i­tor (BPM) sys­tem will em­ploy three dif­fer­ent types of dual-res­onator cav­ity BPMs, since the ac­cel­er­a­tor has three dif­fer­ent beam pipe aper­tures. In the in­jec­tor and main linac (38mm and 16mm aper­ture), 3.3GHz cav­ity BPMs will be used, where a low Q of ~40 was cho­sen to min­i­mize crosstalk of the two bunches*. In the un­du­la­tors that just have sin­gle bunches and 8mm BPM aper­ture, a higher Q will be cho­sen. This paper re­ports on the de­vel­op­ment sta­tus of the Swiss­FEL BPM sys­tem. Syn­er­gies as well as dif­fer­ences to the E-XFEL BPM sys­tem** will also be high­lighted.

The Eu­ro­pean X-ray Free Elec­tron Laser (E-XFEL) will use a total ~300 but­ton BPMs along the whole ac­cel­er­a­tor, as well as 160 cav­ity BPMs. The pick­ups for the but­ton BPMs have been de­signed by DESY, whereas the elec­tron­ics has been de­vel­oped by PSI. This paper gives an overview of the but­ton BPM sys­tem, with focus on the RF front end elec­tron­ics, sig­nal pro­cess­ing, and over­all sys­tem per­for­mance. Mea­sure­ment re­sults achieved with pro­to­types in­stalled at FLASH/DESY and at the Swiss­FEL In­jec­tor Test Fa­cil­ity (SITF) are pre­sented. The po­si­tion noise ob­tained with but­ton pick­ups in a 40.5 mm aper­ture beam pipe is as low as ~11 um at 20 pC bunch charge.
