Description

The ALBA synchrotron is preparing its upgrade to ALBA II, a fourth-generation storage ring that will require improved bunch by bunch beam diagnostics in order to fully characterize the beam. To meet these requirements and based on the analysis developed using the HOTCAP code [1], we are integrating an oscilloscope-based analysis tool that processes BPM signals to extract bunch-by-bunch charge, transverse position, and relative changes of the longitudinal phase. This report summarizes how the tool has been adapted for ALBA, including possible bunch length measurements. We show results using this method and compare them with respect to other techniques.
