TI - Time Domain Pickup Signal characterization for Low Charge Arrival-Time Measurements at FLASH J2 - Proc. of IBIC2014 AB - For the low charge operation mode at the European XFEL, high bandwidth cone-shaped pickups were developed as a part of the Bunch Arrival-time Monitors (BAMs). The simulation showed that the signal parameters of interest, the signal slope and bandwidth are improved by more than a factor of six compared to the state of the art pickups. The pickups are installed at FLASH for verification. In this paper, time-domain measurements of the cone-shaped pickups at FLASH are presented. The pickup signal is recorded with a high bandwidth sampling oscilloscope. Two channel measurements are conducted with a single and a combined pickup signal in order to analyze the orbit and charge dependence of the pickup signal parameters. The measured time domain pickup signal wave form is compared to the CST PARTICLE STUDIO simulation.
