BPM Systems: A brief Introduction to Beam Position Monitoring

Accelerator Physics 2020-06-03 v1 Instrumentation and Detectors

Abstract

This introduction on beam position monitors (BPM) summarizes the fundamental parts of the tutorial presented at the CAS 2018 on beam instrumentation. The focus is on the signal detection and normalization, and on the principle of operation of commonly used broadband pickups, i.e.\ button and stripline BPMs. Other BPM types, such as split-plane and cavity BPMs are also discussed, as well as the detection of low-β\beta beams. Finally, a note on BPM signal processing techniques is given.
