Abstract
| Efficient operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) relies on accurate longitudinal beam measurements to diagnose beam instabilities and verify the correctness of bunch-shaping techniques. To achieve this goal, a diagnostic system was developed to perform high-resolution measurements of longitudinal bunch profiles. High-performance oscilloscopes, synchronized to precise accelerator events, are employed to carry out the measurements, acquiring data from wideband wall-current monitors installed in the machine. This paper provides details on the implementation of the system, highlighting its current and future applications that will play a key role in increasing beam intensity in the LHC. |
