Title of  Research: Development of compact highly sensitive beam position monitors for storage rings

Research Purpose: Developping new type of beam position monitors (BPMs) which are having low profile and high sensitivity based on the principle of pick up coils (Rogowski segmented coils)

Main outputs/results: Build and develop new Rogowski BPMs and calibrate them in the laboratory, some of these devises were successfully installed and tested in COSY storage ring. A new type of these BPMs with higher frequency bandwidth has recently been developed and installed in COSY in order to be operated with multi-bunch beam mode

Main Impact: With good care in assembling and calibrating the Rogowski BPMs, a very good resolution down to several tens of nano meters for a positional map with 441 as total number of scanned grids can be achieved. The installation of this devise in accelerator environment as well as validating its position readouts using the technique of local orbit bumps has proven a working calibration model. The low profile of less than 10cm for these types of BPMs is one big advantage especially for tight spaces in accelerators
