  The development of non-intercepting diagnostics for high charge density and high energy electron beams is one of the main challenge of beam instrumentation. Diffraction Radiation based diagnostics, being non-intercepting, are among the possible candidates for the measurements of beam properties for the new generation linacs. At the 1 GeV Sincrotrone Trieste linac, we are performing the first measurements of beam transverse parameters using Diffraction Radiation emitted by the electron beam passing through a 1 mm slit opened on a screen made of aluminium deposited on a silicon substrate. The analysis of the angular distribution of the Diffraction Radiation for a given wavelength, slit aperture and beam energy gives information about the beam size and its angular divergence.

  The accelerator complex of the Swiss Light Source (SLS) is presently under commissioning at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Villigen, Switzerland. The newly developed digital beam position monitor (DBPM) system has been successfully used to determine beam positions in the pre-injector LINAC, the transfer lines, the booster synchrotron and the storage ring. Instant and free selection of operation modes through the EPICS-based SLS control system allows to choose between single turn, turn-by-turn and closed orbit measurements. The operational experience and performance of the DBPM system is presented, based on measurements, taken during SLS commissioning. A monitoring system (POMS), which measures the horizontal and vertical mechanical positions of each BPM block in reference to the adjacent quadrupole magnets has been installed and first results, indicating transverse movements of the BPM blocks as a function of current in the storage ring will be presented.

  Two Low Gap BPMs have been successfully installed at ELETTRA and have now completed the commissioning phase. The main purpose of these new devices is to provide stable beam position measurement, at sub-micron level, to monitor the stability of the light delivered to the Users. The improvements with respect to the normal BPM system have been obtained adopting both a new Low Gap BPM sensor and a new non-multiplexed BPM detector, the latter being developed in co-operation with the SLS diagnostic group at the PSI. Beside the Closed Orbit mode, thanks to the digitally selectable bandwidth, the new BPM detector can be operated also in the Turn-by-Turn mode and provide the position signal to feedback loops. In this paper we first briefly review the system architecture, describing its mechanical and electronic parts. Then, we present the digital BPM detector set-up used at ELETTRA and the associated firmware required by the four-channel BPM detector to guarantee performance over the full dynamic range. The BPMposition monitoring system is also described and its integration in the BPM system presented. Laboratory tests confirmed sub-micron resolution at 10kHz data rate. A series of beam based measurements have been performed in order to test this system and to verify the improvement in performance. The system is presently used in the control room as a powerful beam quality monitor; its extension to other Storage Ring straight sections is under evaluation.
