  We have designed the BPM PU based on capacitive buttons for use in the KOMAC (Korea Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex), the high-intensity proton linac that are under development at the KAERI (Korea Atomic Research Institute), Korea. The KOMAC is aiming to produce CW 20 mA beam current at the 100 MeV energy. We have chosen the button-type PU since it is easier to fabricate than other type PUs including the stripline, and it could provide enough signal power because of the high beam current. The PU sensitivity was calculated by the MAGIC that is a kind of the Particle-In-Cell code that originates from the plasma science community. The utilization of the MAGIC code is especially useful for BPM PUs in the low-beta sections of the accelerator, because it is difficult to obtain the PU sensitivity experimentally due to the difficulties in simulating the low-beta beams by the electromagnetic waves in a test bench. In this presentation, we report on the design of the BPM PU based on the MAGIC calculation.

  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.
