Poster Presentation MC03: Beam Position Monitors Wednesday Poster Session 3

Speaker

Description

As ALBA II is currently under development, the machine design has undergone several updates. Some of these modifications directly impact the Beam Position Monitor (BPM) pickup response. Specifically, the transition of the vacuum chamber cross-section from circular to rhomboidal brings the pickup electrodes closer to the beam, increasing the wakefield effects and potential parasitic heating. An improved design, validated through simulation, is presented in these proceedings. Furthermore, the integration of these pickups into the copper vacuum chamber introduces material compatibility challenges; in particular, the use of Kovar in these assemblies will be discussed.
