上海软X射线自由电子激光腔式束流位置测量系统

上海软X射线自由电子激光装置（Shanghai Soft X-ray Free Electron Laser, SXFEL）需1个分辨率达到亚μm量级的束流位置测量系统，并采用基于束流准直的方法实现波荡器段电子束与光子束的紧密重合。为此设计研制了1个由C波段腔式探头、单路混频至低中频的射频前端以及自主研发的专用数字信号束流位置处理器（digital beam position monitor processor, DBPM）构成的腔式束流位置测量（cavity beam position monitor, CBPM）系统。本文对系统的设计、软硬件结构、系统搭建进行了介绍，并基于漂移段搭建的3个紧邻的CBPM阵列完成了在线系统性能评估。束流实验结果表明，在束团电荷量为500 pC、系统动态范围在±800 μm的条件下，位置分辨率可达880 nm，这也是国内首次研制成功可在线运行的具有亚μm位置分辨率的CBPM系统。此外，采用CBPM的相位腔进行相对束团电荷量、束团到达时间的测量，其性能评估结果也均优于SXFEL设计要求。

Cavity Beam Position Monitor System for Shanghai Soft X-ray Free Electron Laser

Shanghai Soft X-ray Free Electron Laser (SXFEL) requires a beam position monitor system with resolution of sub-micron, so the beam based alignment (BBA) method to achieve close coincidence of the electron beam and the photon beam in the undulator section can be used. A cavity beam position monitor (CBPM) system consisting of a C-band cavity probe, a RF front-end and a dedicated digital beam position monitor processor (DBPM) was developed. The system design, hardware and software structure, and system construction were introduced in this paper. Based on the three adjacent CBPM systems in the drift section, the online system performance evaluation was completed. And the experiment results show that the position resolution of 880 nm is obtained under the condition of the bunch charge of 500 pC and the dynamic range of the system of ±800 μm. This is also the first CBPM system with submicron position resolution that can be run online in China. In addition, the phase cavity of CBPM was used to measure the relative charge and the arrival time of the bunch. The evaluation results show that the performance is better than the design requirements of SXFEL.
