  In order to measure the beam position with a precision of better than 1μm in the TESLA energy spectrometer a cavity beam position monitor is proposed. The waveguide coupling is used to achieve a good common mode rejection and therefore a better precision. The paper gives a short overview of the monitor functionality and describes resolution measurements which were made on the cavity prototype.

  A newly high performance SQUID based measurement system for detecting dark currents, generated by superconducting cavities for TESLA is proposed. It makes use of the Cryogenic Current Comparator principle and senses dark currents in the nA range with a small signal bandwidth of 70 kHz. To reach the maximum possible energy in the TESLA project is a strong motivation to push the gradients of the superconducting cavities closer to the physical limit of 50 MV/m. The field emission of electrons (the so called dark current) of the superconducting cavities at strong fields may limit the maximum gradient. The absolute measurement of the dark current in correlation with the gradient will give a proper value to compare and classify the cavities. This contribution describes a Cryogenic Current Comparator (CCC) as an excellent and useful tool for this purpose. The most important component of the CCC is a high performance DC SQUID system which is able to measure extremely low magnetic fields, e.g. caused by the extracted dark current. For this reason the SQUID input coil is connected across a special designed pick-up coil for the electron beam. Both the SQUID input coil and the pick-up coil form a closed superconducting loop so that the CCC is able to detect dc currents down to 2 pA/√Hz. Design issues and the application for the CHECHIA cavity test stand at DESY as well as preliminary experimental results are discussed.
