Description

This works presents the design of Beam Position Monitors for a 750 MHz linac for hadrontherapy studies.
BPMs will be installed in different sections of the Linac, operating at different energies, from the RFQ exit at 5 MeV/u to the end of the line after IH cavities at 10 MeV/u. The BPMs will allow measurement of the beam position, phase and time of flight (tof) studies. Therefore, being fundamental for commissioning and operation of the protype hadrontherapy linac.
In the analysis we compare the expected signal from stripline and button BPMs using analytical and CST models. studying the BPMs size and response at different energies, and BPMs sensitivity for position, phase and tof measurements.
