We present the design of a stripline beam position monitor (BPM) signal processor with low latency (c. 10ns) and micron-level spatial resolution in single-pass mode. Such a BPM processor has applications in single-pass beamlines such as those at linear colliders and FELs. The processor was deployed and tested at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF2) extraction line at KEK, Japan. We report the beam test results and processor performance, including response, linearity, spatial resolution and latency.

The commissioning of the ATF2 final focus test beam line facility is currently progressing towards the achievement of its first goal: to demonstrate a transverse beam size of about 40 nm at the focal point. In parallel, studies and R&D activities have already started towards the second goal of ATF2, which is the demonstration of nanometer level beam orbit stabilization. These two goals are important to achieve the luminosity required at future linear colliders. Beam-based intra-train feedback systems will play a crucial role in the stabilization of multi-bunch trains at such facilities. In this paper we present the design and simulation results of beam-based intra-train feedback systems at the ATF2: one system located in the extraction line at the entrance to the final focus, and another at the interaction point. The requirements and limitations of these systems are also discussed.

We present the design and beam test results of a prototype beam-based digital feedback system for the Interaction Point of the International Linear Collider. A custom analogue front-end signal processor, FPGA-based digital signal processing boards, and kicker drive amplifier have been designed, built, deployed and tested with beam in the extraction line of the KEK Accelerator Test Facility (ATF2). The system was used to provide orbit correction to the train of bunches extracted from the ATF damping ring. The latency was measured to be approximately 140 ns.
