	The Cooler Synchrotron COSY delivers proton and deuteron beams to the users since the early 90s. The experiments are carried out using the circulating beam as well as the beams extracted from the ring and delivered by three beamlines. The original BPM system still operational in the ring does not fulfill the requirements for new experiments. It utilizes cylindrical and shoe-box type diagonally cut capacitive pick-ups. The most signal processing is done the analog way. Additionally to its age and the increasing failure rate, the analog processing introduces large drifts in e.g. the offset, which regularly require a significant effort for manual calibration. Even then the drifts render it impossible to match the requirements of the planned JEDI experiment, which is an orbit with a maximum of 100 um RMS deviation. Therefore an upgrade of the readout electronics was decided. The decision process is described, the implications listed and the current status is reported.

The institute of Nuclear Physics 4(IKP-4) of the Research Center Jülich (FZJ) is in charge of building and commissioning the High Energy Storage Ring (HESR) within the international Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at Darmstadt. Simulations and numerical calculations were performed to characterize the BPM pickup design that is currently envisaged for the HESR, i.e. a diagonally cut cylindrical pickup. The equivalent circuit has been studied with emphasis on capacitive cross coupling. Based on our findings, performance increasing changes could be introduced. A prototype BPM was constructed and tested on a test bench. A comparison of results is presented. Another proposed design was characterized, as a symmetric coupling behavior is expected. That is a symmetrical straight four-strip geometry. Additionally an extensive study was conducted to see effects due to manufacturing tolerances. Driven by curiosity an eight-strip design was considered, which would allow for beam size measurements. First results for this configuration are shown. Used methodology, tools and results of expected signal level and sensitivity distributions are presented as well.
