Results of prototype particle-beam diagnostics tests for the Advanced Photon Source (APS)

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) will be a third-generation synchrotron radiation source (hard X-rays) based on 7-GeV positrons circulating in a 1104-m circumference storage ring. In the past year a number of the diagnostic prototypes for the measurement of the charged-particle beam parameters throughout the subsystems of the facility (ranging from 450-MeV to 7-GeV positrons and with different pulse formats) have been built and tested. Results are summarized for the beam position monitor, current monitor, loss monitor, and imaging systems. The test facilities ranged from the 40-MeV APS linac test stand to the existing storage rings at SSRL and NSLS.<
