TUPD43 | Synchrotron Radiation Monitor for Bunch-Resolved Beam Energy Measurements at FLASH | 399 |

A synchrotron radiation monitor (SRM) based on a multi-anode photomultiplier tube (PMT) has been installed in the first magnetic bunch compressor chicane at the Free-electron LASer in Hamburg (FLASH). The synchrotron radiation emitted in the third dipole of the magnetic chicane is imaged by a telescope onto two anodes of the PMT. In this way the horizontal beam position of the electron bunches is recorded which corresponds to the beam energy as the beam position is governed by the beam energy in the dispersive section of the magnetic chicane. The fast PMT signals are digitized by analog -to-digital converters (ADC) which enables bunch-resolved beam energy measurement within the trains of the up to 800 bunches generated by the superconducting linear accelerator of FLASH. In this paper we describe the experimental setup of the SRM and present first commissioning results for various accelerator settings. |
