A new BPM system was used for commissioning and operation of the PIP2 Injector Test Facility. The system of 13 warm and 12 cold BPMs was based upon custom 250 MS/s digitizers controlled and readout over gigabit ethernet by a single multi-core rackmount server running linux. The system provided positions, intensity, and phase for each bpm as a pulse average or pulse waveform from 10 us to 4 ms at a 20 Hz pulse repetition rate.

Fermilab is undertaking the development of a new 800 MeV superconducting RF linac to replace its present normal conducting 400 MeV linac. The PIP-II linac consists of a warm front-end generating 2 mA of 2.1 MeV H− followed immediately by a series of superconducting RF cryomodules to 800 MeV. To limit the potential damage to the superconducting RF cavities, PIP-II will utilize laser-based monitors to obtain beam profiles via photoionization. This paper will present the results of transverse and longitudinal beam profile measurements using a prototype profile monitor that was tested with 2.1 MeV H− beam at the PIP-II Injector Test (PIP2IT) accelerator. This prototype profile monitor utilizes a high repetition rate fiber laser and fiber optic transport into the PIP2IT enclosure. In addition, results will be shown of narrow-band electron detection from amplitude modulated laser pulses.

The PIP2 particle accelerator is a new upgrade to the Fermilab accelerator complex, featuring an 800-MeV H-superconducting linear accelerator that will inject the beam into the present Fermilab Booster. A test accelerator known as PIP-II Injector Test (PIP2IT) has been built to validate the concept of the front-end of such a machine. One of the paramount challenges of PIP2IT was to validate the bunch by bunch chopping system in the Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT). This paper aims to present the direct extinction measurements at PIP2IT and their analysis. These measurements have been taken by two Resistive Wall Current Monitors (RWCM) and recorded by a high bandwidth oscilloscope.
