The Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) is a storage ring at the end of the Fermilab Accelerator Science and Technology (FAST) facility. The complex is intended to support accelerator R&D for the next generation of particle accelerators. The IOTA ring is currently operating with 150 MeV electrons injected from the FAST Linac and will also receive 2.5 MeV protons from the IOTA Proon Injector currently be installed. The current instrumentation and results along from the first electron commissioning run will be presented along with future plans.

The Integrable Optics Test Accelerator is a research electron and proton storage ring recently commissioned at Fermilab. A key part of its beam diagnostics suite are synchrotron radiation monitors, used for measuring transverse beam profile, position, and intensity. So far, this system has used only visible light cameras, which are optimal for orbit measurements but do not provide turn-by-turn temporal resolution needed for beam dynamics analysis. Current electrostatic BPM system, while capable of turn-by-turn acquisition, will be pushed to its limits of accuracy and linearity by the requirements of planned nonlinear integrable optics experiments, and furthermore does not provide transverse profile data. To address these drawbacks, we present in this paper the design of a turn-by-turn BPM system based on a multi-anode photomultiplier detector. Extensive simulations are shown, combining both particle and optics tracking. A potential hardware and readout architecture is described. Statistical and systematic errors are explored. We conclude by outlining the prototype testing plans for run 2 in the fall of 2019, and other future work.
