Description
The Bunch Shape Monitor (BSM) is a versatile diagnostic device designed to measure longitudinal beam parameters, which are essential for the operation and development of high-intensity linear accelerators. However, these measurements remain challenging for proton and ion beams at non-relativistic energies. RadiaBeam has developed an enhanced BSM prototype with several key innovations to improve performance. These include a focusing field between the wire and entrance slit for improved collection efficiency, a redesigned microwave deflector for enhanced beam linearity, and a moving mechanism enabling both transverse profile and longitudinal measurements. Following the initial tests at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) presented last year, this work details updated testing results including characterization and optimization, and additional component improvements based on the beam tests conducted at the SNS facility.
