  The transfer line from the GSI heavy ion synchrotron (SIS) to the experimental set ups is equipped with segmented capacitive pick-ups for beam position measurement. This beam position measurement will be designed to cover a dynamic range of 160 dB and single-bunch evaluation. For taking measurements with maximum sensitivity the best choice is a high-impedance tap at the pick-up referring to the bunch length of 50...500 ns. Therefore the feeding of 50 Ω coax-cables will be realized by an impedance-matching-transformer located close to the pick-up. It has an impedance >10 kΩ at the primary side and 50 Ω matching at the secondary side with a foreseen bandwidth of 200 MHz. So it is possible to use low noise amplifiers with 50 Ω input in a radiation-safe environment without loading the pick-up with 50 Ω. A specialized impedance-matching-transformer is now under development and the result will be presented.

  The GSI is operating a heavy ion synchrotron, which is currently undergoing an upgrade towards higher beam intensities. It was discovered that beam losses induce a significant pressure increase in the vacuum system. In order to detect the time constants of the pressure increase and decrease, fast total pressure measurements were put into operation. With the recently installed partial pressure diagnostics it is also possible to follow up which types of molecules are released. The presentation will focus on the different techniques applied as well as on some measurement results. The potential and difficulties of this diagnostic tool will also be discussed.
