Design and commissioning of the APS beam charge and current monitors
- Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois 60439 (United States)
The non-intercepting charge and current monitors suitable for a wide range of beam parameters have been developed and installed in the Advanced Photon Source (APS) low energy transport lines, positron accumulator ring (PAR), and injector synchrotron. The positron or electron beam pulse in the APS has charge ranging from 100 pC to 10 nC with pulse width varying from 30 ps to 30 ns. The beam charge and current are measured with a current transformer and subsequent current monitoring electronics based on an ultrafast, high precision gated integrator. The signal processing electronics, data acquisition, and communication with the control system are managed by a VME-based system. This paper summarizes the hardware and software features of the systems. The results of recent operations are presented. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
