Description
The CERN Proton Synchrotron faces increasingly demanding requirements from its user community, driven by the need for higher-intensity beams that push the machine to the limits of beam stability. Transverse instabilities, such as head-tail and transverse-mode-coupling instabilities, can arise at specific stages of the machine cycles, depending on the beam parameters. This work introduces a real-time, bunch-by-bunch transverse instability diagnostic system based on wide-band beam position monitor signals. Building on recent developments in longitudinal beam observation, the system extends the software layers to measure beam profiles in both longitudinal and transverse planes. A key feature is its ability to capture multiple time windows within a single cycle, offering a complete view of beam dynamics. Real-time analysis of the transverse beam envelope evolution is performed on the acquired data to detect and characterize performance-limiting phenomena, such as transverse instabilities. The system is fully integrated into operation, allowing simultaneous beam monitoring and optimization across multiple beam types.
