Commissioning of the ATF/ATF2 project will start in the winter of 2008 to 2009, with the aim of studying beam optics, diagnostic instrumentations, and tuning processes for around 35 nm beam size. The project is the realistic scaled down model of the ILC final focus system, and also, studies in the project offered important findings for future accelerator physics. In this presentation, we will present about the status of the first commissioning of the Shintake monitor for ATF2. The monitor is located at the virtual interaction point of the ATF2 (the focus point) to measure beam size. A measurable ranges as a design are from 6 micron down to 20 nm in vertical and down to several microns in horizontal. That wide range allows us to used the detector from the beginning of the beam tuning process. The monitor scheme was originally proposed by T. Shintake and verified using around 60 nm beam at FFTB project. We upgraded the detector system for ATF2 of smaller beam size and implemented a laser wire scheme for horizontal beam size measurement. These additional capabilities are also presented.

The ATF2, accelerator test facility has been developed confirming techniques for obtaining super low emittance beam for future particle accelerators. Here, the converged beam size is designed to be 37 nm, and a precision beam size monitor using interference fringes as a reference called Shintake monitor is used for measuring it. In order to measure the beam size with resolution of better than 10%, relative position between the beam and the interference fringes should be stabilized within few nanometers. Highly rigid tables and mounts for the Shintake monitor and final focusing magnets are adopted with highly rigid floor to ensure relative position stability. Then, the Shintake monitor can be stabilized against the beam, since the beam fluctuates coherently with the final focusing magnets. On the other hand the interference fringes are stabilized against the Shintake monitor with precise phase control system. As a result, relative position between the beam and the interference fringes is stabilized based on rigidity of tables, mounts, and floor between them. We will present our conception for stabilization and results of vibration measurements for the Shintake monitor.

ATF2 is a final-focus test beam line that attempts to focus the low-emittance beam from the ATF damping ring to a beam size of about 37 nm, and at the same time to demonstrate nm beam stability, using numerous advanced beam diagnostics and feedback tools. The construction is well advanced and beam commissioning of ATF2 has started in the second half of 2008. ATF2 is constructed and commissioned by ATF international collaborations with strong US, Asian and European participation.
