Sergey Strokov (DESY)24/03/2026, 08:45Presentation
We present signal and thermal measurements from the first prototype of a stripline Beam Position Monitor (BPM) intended for the PETRA IV synchrotron ring. The monitor was installed at the PETRA III testbed for evaluation and compared against CST Studio Suite simulation results. Initial measurements revealed unexpected signal oscillations and significant heating (up to 135 °C), which were not...

As part of our current facility upgrade, we are developing Beam Position Monitors (BPMs) designed for integration into a copper vacuum chamber. Following the preliminary design phase, the manufacturer suggested utilizing Kovar as an alternative to stainless steel for the housing. This presentation aims to discuss the implications of this material shift with the community, supported by Opera...

Electromagnetic resonances localized near Beam Position Monitors (BPMs) can significantly distort the beam induced signal on the electrodes and compromise BPM readings. At the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), a detrimental resonance was identified in the vicinity of a BPM. It originates from a small break in the electrical continuity (~2-3µm) due to the nearby RF gasket that...
