  An investigation into the microbunching instability at Diamond Light Source has recently been conducted. Beyond the instability threshold, the bunch emits bursts of coherent synchrotron radiation with wavelengths comparable to the bunch length or shorter. The operating conditions for producing the instability include both normal optics, and low-alpha optics, where the bunch length can be shortened to a few picoseconds. A Michelson interferometer has been designed and installed utilising a silicon crystal wafer beamsplitter. Large bandwidth, room temperature pyroelectric detectors and low-noise, fast-response Schottky Barrier diode detectors have been employed to generate interferograms. In this paper, we describe the observed spectral content and the resulting calculated bunch length.

  The National Synchrotron Light Source II is a third generation light source under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The project includes a highly optimized, ultra-low emittance, 3 GeV electron storage ring, linac pre-injector and full energy booster synchrotron. The low emittance requires high performance beam position monitor systems, providing measurement to better than 200 nm resolution; and fast orbit feedback systems, holding orbit to similar level of orbit deviations. The NSLS-II storage ring has 30 cells, each deploying up to 8 RF BPMs and 3 fast weak correctors. Each cell consists of a "cell controller", providing fast orbit feedback system infrastructure. This paper will provide a description of system design and summarize the implementation and status for these systems.

  A highly efficient energy kicker has been developed for longitudinal bunch-by-bunch feedback to suppress synchrotron oscillation of a high-current single electron bunch, and to cure possible longitudinal multi-bunch instability if lower beam energy is to be adopted for emittance reduction and electric power saving in a future upgrade plan of SPring-8. Through the performance test using a prototype kicker, a new water-cooled copper kicker was designed and fabricated, and it has been installed in the storage ring. The new kicker consists of three cells with each cavity length of 96 mm, its resonant frequency of 1.65 GHz, which is 3.25 times of RF frequency of the storage ring, and low Q-factor of 4.2. In beam kick test, the synchrotron oscillation amplitude of 0.64 ps was excited by kick voltage with continuous amplitude modulation at synchrotron frequency when the RF input power was 132 W/3cells. The kick voltage evaluated from the experimental result is 920 V/3cells. Shunt impedance of each kicker cell is estimated as 1.1 kΩ. As we intended, the shunt impedance per length is about three times higher than those of widely used waveguide overloaded cavity type kickers.

  Since 2009 an X-ray pinhole camera that has been used to present the transverse beam size on diagnostic beamline of the storage ring in Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF). Transverse beam profiles in the real(x,y) and phase(Y,Y’) spaces are obtained by an X-ray pinhole camera sensitive by moving one pinhole. The large amount of collected data has allowed a detailed reconstruction of the transverse phase space evolution in this paper. An image on a fluorescent screen is observed by a CCD camera,digitized and stored, then the phase space and the real space profiles are reconstructed.A non-linear least square program fits the resultant profiles to a vertical dimensional Gaussian distributions to derive the phase space and emittances for SSRF storage ring.

  The technique of optical interferometry to measure beam sizes requires a low noise and high dynamic range digitisation system to push the performance to ultra low emittance on storage rings. The next generation of camera sensor Scientific CMOS (sCMOS) promises to provide the technology to improve optical interferometry. A series of measurements was performed on the Australian Synchrotron storage ring using a sCMOS and a intensity imbalance optical interferometer. The coupling in the storage ring was varied from maximum to minimum using the skew quadrupoles and the beam size at the optical diagnostic beamline was varied from over 100 microns to around 1 micron. A comparison is made between interferometer measurements using the sCMOS with and without an intensity imbalance and with previous measurements using a CCD system.

The resonant TE wave technique can use modulation sidebands for the calculation of electron cloud (EC) density. An alternative is to mix the drive and received signals to form a phase detector. Using this technique, the phase shift across the resonant section of beam-pipe can be observed directly on an oscilloscope. The growth and decay of the EC density has a time constant of roughly 100 ns, while the measured phase shift will include a convolution of the EC density with the impulse response of the resonant beam-pipe - typically about 500 ns. So any estimate of the growth/decay of the cloud requires deconvolution of the measured signal with the response time of the resonance. We have also used this technique to look for evidence of EC density with a lifetime that is long compare to the revolution period of the stored beam. These measurements were made at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) which has been reconfigured as a test accelerator (CesrTA) with positron or electron beam energies ranging from 2 GeV to 5 GeV.

  Vibration measurements have been carried out at NSLS2. The floor has more than 100nm RMS vertical motion during workdays (>1Hz). This motion reduces to 30nm RMS during night and weekends. Traffic on the nearby expressway is considered to be the major source of ground motion. Weather (wind) and utility system induced vibrations are other possible factors on floor motion. Vibrations have been measured at various locations, like the tunnel and experiment floor, HXN long beamline satellite building floor, high stability BPMs, Quadrupole magnets etc. Assume a typical un-correlated motion of Quadrpole magnets of 100nm, beam orbit jitter is around 4-7 microns. Fast orbit feedback will control the orbit stability within 10% of beam size.

  The ESRF fast orbit correction system has been in operation since May 2012. The orbit correction scheme relies classically on the calculation of a correction orbit based on the SVD analysis of the response matrix of our 224 BPMs to each of our 96 correctors. The rate of the calculation of the corrections is 10 KHz; we use a PI loop achieving a bandwidth of 150Hz completed with a narrow band pass filter with extra gain at 50Hz. In order to make the best use of the correctors dynamic range and of the resolution of the calculation, it can be useful to limit the bandwidth of loop for the highest order vectors of the SVD, or even to totally remove some of these vectors from the correction down to DC. Removing some of the eigen vectors while avoiding that the loop becomes unstable usually increases a lot the complexity of the matrix calculations: we have developed an algorithm which overcomes this problem; The test of this algorithm is presented. We present also the beneficial effect at high frequency of the limitation of the gain of the correction of the highest SVD eigen vectors on the demand of the peak strength of the correctors and on the resolution of the correction calculation.

Top-up operation has been performed at SSRF since Dec. 2012. Orbit disturbance every 10 minutes decreased the quality of synchrotron radiation. In order to minimize this disturbance the tilts and the timing of injection kickers need to be tuning carefully based on real beam information. A set of button type pick-up and a scope based IOC were employed to capture the transient beam movement with bunch by bunch rate during injection. Several sets of observation and analyze will be discussed in this paper.
 
 
WEPC33 Upgrade of Beam Phase Monitors for the ESRF Injector and Storage Ring booster, injection, BPM, ESRF 757

  The measurement of the phase relation between the stored beam in the Storage Ring and the beam circulating in the Booster Synchrotron is now done with high precision and at high speed using a single unit of commercial BPM electronics. The quadrature demodulation, driven by a common PLL, done in these digital electronics on each of its four RF input channels makes the relative measurement of the I/Q components, hence phase relation, easy and strait forward. The RF signals of the relatively low current Booster come from two stripline outputs while that of the Storage Ring from two small BPM buttons. Treating simultaneously four signals, thus with a redundancy of two to measure the phase between two sources, allows to perform intrinsic shot-to-shot cross verifications on resolution and reproducibility. The long-term stability of this device has also been successfully assessed by independent verifications against time and temperature drifts. An identical unit has now been added for phase measurements between the Storage Ring beam and the RF cavity signals. Results with beam and assessment of its scope of performance will be presented on both systems.

  Since 2006, Synchrotron SOLEIL is delivering photons to its beamlines. Until 2012, thanks to the excellent performances of the injection system of the storage ring, the perturbation on the position of the stored beam was small enough to be accepted by the users. For some specific experiments, few beamlines expressed their wish to be able to stop their data acquisition during the injection. To fulfill this need, the diagnostics group of Synchrotron SOLEIL has designed the “TimEX3” board which was integrated into the timing system allowing the gating of the Top-up injection. This design was released as open hardware. Towards this aim, we decided to design it with the open source and free EDA software “KiCad”, and to make it available under the CERN’s Open Hardware Repository.

  The PTB, the German metrology institute, utilizes the electron storage ring MLS in Berlin Adlershof for the realization of the radiometric units in ultraviolet and vacuum ultraviolet spectral range. For this purpose the MLS can be operated as a primary source standard of calculable synchrotron radiation with very flexible parameters, especially in terms of electron beam energy and electron beam current. We report on improvements in the measurement of the electron beam current in the nA and pA range. In this range the electron beam current can be very accurately measured by counting the stored electrons.
