Funding: Work supported by U.S. DOE, Contract No.DE-AC02-98CH10886 Beam loss monitors have been used for more than a decade in the VUV ring at the NSLS. These have proved useful for optimizing injection and operation of the ring. Recently similar monitors have been installed in the Xray ring and are being used to better understand injection as well as operation of the ring. These units have been compared with the Bergoz Beam Loss Monitors, which have been mostly useful for operating beam losses. The experience with these units have led to an improved detector that is being considered by NSLS-II as a beam containment verification monitor, as well as diagnostic for optimization of injection efficiency. |
