AN X-BAND CAVITY FOR A HIGH PRECISION BEAM POSITION MONITOR

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/826577· OSTI ID:826577

The next generation of accelerators will require increasingly precise control of beam position. For example designs for the next linear collider require beam-position monitors (BPMs) with 300 nm resolution. The accelerator designs also place difficult requirements on accuracy and stability. To meet these requirements a cavity BPM operating at 11.424 GHz was designed. The BPM consists of two cavities: an xy-cavity tuned to the dipole mode and a phase cavity tuned to the monopole mode. The xy-cavity uses a novel-coupling scheme that (in principal) has zero coupling to the monopole mode. This report will present the mechanical design, simulations, and test results of a prototype BPM. In addition BPM designs with even higher precision will be discussed.
