It allows the determination of important parameters such as momentum spread, synchrotron tune, coherent and incoherent betatron tune, and chromaticity for coasting and bunched beams at hadron synchrotrons. It is a popular diagnostic at low energy ion storage rings as well as implemented for bunched beams in high energy synchrotrons such as LHC. In this tutorial, the underlying physics for the observables will be described together with the basic mathematics. Recent results for high intensity beam will be discussed. The detector technology, based on capacitive pick-ups, traveling wave structures, or cavities is addressed, as well as the associated rf electronics to extract this weak, beam induced Schottky signal. Applications ranging from the daily operational usage up to dedicated machine physics investigations on a very wide range of beam parameters will be discussed. PB - JACoW CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
