PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION OF THE DIAMOND EBPM ELECTRONICS

The Electron Beam Position Monitor electronics for Diamond are a newly developed product. As such, extensive testing was carried out as part of the acceptance tests. These tests included measurement of the resolution, beam current dependence, fill pattern dependence, temperature dependence and long term reproducibility in the lab. A setup of signal generators was chosen to simulate the signals from button pickups as realistically as possible. Additionally, tests have been carried out with “real beam” signals at the SRS in Daresbury. Solutions for problems identified during these tests have been developed and their suitability is demonstrated.
