Title: Evaluation and Correction of the Non-linear Distortion of CEBAF Beam Position Monitors

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1029311

The beam position monitors at CEBAF have four antenna style pickups that are used to measure the location of the beam. There is a strong nonlinear response when the beam is far from the electrical center of the device. In order to conduct beam experiments at large orbit excitation we need to correct for this nonlinearity. The correction algorithm is presented and compared to measurements from our stretched wire BPM test stand.
