Technology and First Beam Tests of the New CERN-SPS Beam Position System
/ Wendt, Manfred (CERN) ; Barros Marin, Manoel (CERN) ; Boccardi, Andrea (CERN) ; Bogey, Thierry (CERN) ; Degl'Innocenti, Irene (CERN) ; Topaloudis, Athanasios (CERN)
The CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) uses 215 beam position monitors (BPMs) to observe the beam orbit when accelerating protons or ions on a fast ramp cycle to beam energies of up to 450 GeV/c. In the frame of the CERN LHC Injector Upgrade (LIU) initiative the aged, and difficult to maintain homodyne-receiver based BPM read-out system is currently being upgraded with A Logarithmic Position System - ALPS.

Upgrade of the CERN SPS Beam Position Measurement System
/ Wendt, Manfred (CERN) ; Barros Marin, Manoel (CERN) ; Boccardi, Andrea (CERN) ; Bogey, Thierry (CERN) ; Degl'Innocenti, Irene (CERN) ; Kain, Verena (CERN) ; Moran Guizan, Carla (CERN) ; Topaloudis, Athanasios (CERN)
The CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) is a fast cycling hadron accelerator delivering protons with momenta of up to 450 GeV/c for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), fixed target experiments and other users such as the AWAKE plasma acceleration experiment, and also used to accelerate heavy ions. This paper presents the upgrade initiative for the SPS beam position measurement system in the frame of the CERN LHC Injector Upgrade (LIU) project. [...]

Commissioning of ALPS, the New Beam Position Monitor System of CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron
/ Boccardi, Andrea (CERN) ; Albertone, Joel (CERN) ; Barros Marin, Manoel (CERN) ; Bogey, Thierry (CERN) ; Kain, Verena (CERN) ; Li, Kevin S B (CERN) ; Malinowska, Patrycja A (CERN ; AGH-UST, Cracow) ; Topaloudis, Athanasios (CERN) ; Wendt, Manfred (CERN)
The Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) is both, the final machine in the pre-accelerator chain of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, and a machine providing several experiments with proton and ion beams. In the framework of CERN’s LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project, aimed at improving the performances of the pre-accelerators in view of the high-luminosity upgrade of the LHC, the Beam Position Monitor (BPM) system of the SPS was redesigned during Run 2 of the LHC and deployed during the subsequent Long Shutdown 2 (LS2).

The Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment (AWAKE), based at CERN, explores the use of a proton driven plasma wake-field to accelerate electrons at high energies over short distances. This paper introduces the Beam Position Measurement (BPM) system of the proton beamline and its performance. [...]

Beam Instrumentation Developments for the Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment at CERN
/ Mazzoni, Stefano (CERN) ; Barros Marin, Manoel (CERN) ; Biskup, Bartolomej (CERN ; Prague, Tech. U.) ; Boccardi, Andrea (CERN) ; Bogey, Thierry (CERN) ; Burger, Stephane (CERN) ; Domingues Sousa, Fernando (CERN) ; Effinger, Ewald (CERN) ; Emery, Jonathan (CERN) ; Goldblatt, Aurélie (CERN) et al.
The Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment (AWAKE) at CERN aims to develop a proof-of-principle electron accelerator based on proton driven plasma wake-field acceleration. The core of AWAKE is a 10 metre long plasma cell filled with Rubidium vapour in which single, 400 GeV, proton bunches extracted from the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) generate a strong plasma wakefield.

Signal Processing Architecture for the HL-LHC Interaction Region BPMs
/ Bett, Douglas R (Oxford U.) ; Boccardi, Andrea (CERN) ; Degl'Innocenti, Irene (CERN) ; Krupa, Michal (CERN)
In the HL-LHC era, the Interaction Regions around the ATLAS and CMS experiments will be equipped with 24 new Beam Position Monitors (BPM) measuring both counter-propagating beams in a common vacuum chamber. Numerical simulations proved that, despite using new high-directivity stripline BPMs, the required measurement accuracy cannot be guaranteed without bunch-by-bunch disentanglement of the signals induced by both beams. [...]

A Modular Approach to Acquisition Systems for Future CERN Beam Instrumentation Developments
/ Boccardi, Andrea (CERN) ; Barros Marin, Manoel (CERN) ; Levens, Thomas (CERN) ; Szuk, Balint (CERN) ; Viganò, William (CERN) ; Zamantzas, Christos (CERN)
This paper will present the new modular architecture adopted as a baseline by the CERN Beam Instrumentation Group for its future acquisition system developments. The main blocks of this architecture are: radiation tolerant digital front-ends; a latency deterministic multi gigabit optical link; a high pin count FMC carrier used as a VME-based back-end for data concentration and processing.
