An x-ray beam size monitor based on coded aperture imaging* has been developed at CesrTA, for the purpose of making bunch-by-bunch, turn-by-turn measurements of low emittance beams. Using low-emittance beam (~44 pm, or 16 microns at the x-ray source point) we have been able to make detailed comparisons between the measured mask response and that predicted by theory, validating our simulations of the mask response. In turn, we demonstrate the ability to measure both integrated and single-bunch turn-by-turn beam sizes and positions for monitoring the progress of the low-emittance tuning of the machine, and for electron-cloud instability-related beam dynamics studies. * J.W.
