Beam Instrumentation And Diagnostics

This book summarizes the experience of many years of teamwork with my group, the beam diagnostics group of GSI. For a long time the group was also responsible for operating the machines and application programming. In my opinion, this connection was very e?cient: ?rst, because a beam diagnostic system has to place powerful tools at the operators’ disposal; second, because data evaluation and presentation of results for machine operation demand application programs which can be handled not only by skilled experts. On the other hand, accelerator developments and improvements as well as commissioning of new machines by specialists require more complex measu- ments than those for routine machine operation. A modern beam diagnostic system, including the software tools, has to cover these demands, too. Therefore, this book should motivate physicists, constructors, electronic engineers, and computer experts to work together during the design and daily use of a beam diagnostic system. This book aims to give them ideas and tools for their work. I would not have been able to write this book without a good education in physics and many discussions with competent leaders, mentors, and c- leagues. After working about 40 years in teams on accelerators, there are so many people I have to thank that it is impossible to mention them all by name here.

Lecture Notes on Beam Instrumentation and DiagnosticsBy Peter Forck

The 12th Beam Instrumentation Workshop addressed design principles and engineering issues of beam diagnostics and control instrumentation for charged particle accelerators and beam transport lines. The workshop provided a forum in which participants could exchange ideas and review instrumentation designs, and served as an introduction to relevant topics for engineers and scientists with the aid of tutorial sessions.

Proceedings of the May 1996 workshop, including tutorial, invited, and contributed papers. Subjects include a subpicosecond bunch duration measurement technique based on autocorrelation of coherent transition radiation, commissioning results of the APS storage ring diagnostics systems, bunch instabi

The proceedings of the 10th Beam Instrumentation Workshop contains papers discussing the design principles and engineering issues of beam diagnostic and control instrumentation for charged particle accelerators and beam transport lines. The papers, presented at the 2002 Workshop, consist of tutorials, invited talks, and contributed oral and poster presentations.

The Eleventh Beam Instrumentation Workshop addressed design principles and engineering issues of beam diagnostics and control instrumentation for charged particle accelerators and beam transport lines. The workshop provided a forum in which participants could exchange ideas and review instrumentation designs, and served as an introduction to relevant topics for engineers and scientists with the aid of tutorial sessions.

This volume is the eighth of a series of biennial Beam Instrumentation Workshop Proceedings. It addresses design principles and engineering issues of beam diagnostic and control instrumentation for charged-particle accelerators and for beam transportation lines. This workshop forum promotes the exchange and review of new ideas in instrumentation design. Tutorial sessions introduce relevant topics for engineers and scientists. This proceedings volume includes the tutorial presentations, invited papers, contributed papers, and posters. The Workshop was organized by a committee consisting of 14 members from US accelerator-based laboratories and 2 members of CERN.
