  1. ABSTRACT Photon Beam Monitors (PBPMs), in a 3rd generation light source, are inevitable diagnostics instruments for both the machine and the beam lines. They are used to determine the photon beam position and are ultimately utilized in feedback loops for position stabilization. At the Swiss Light Source (SLS) in operation since mid-2001, PBPMs have been installed at the bending and insertion device beamlines. In the introduction the operating principle of the PBPM is explained. Then, a calibration method utilizing local bumps in the electron orbit is presented, and it is demonstrated how this method can be used to detect misalignments. Finally, the role of PBPMs in achieving sub-micron beam stability by means of feed-forwards and PBPM feedbacks at the SLS is highlighted. INTRODUCTION principle:4 blades of Tungsten read the tails of the photon beam. Beamposition deduced by asymmetries. Design of K. Holldack (BESSY), produced by FMB (Berlin).

BEAM STABILITY XBPM FEEDBACK FEED FORWARD IDFF determination procedure (for each gap) • Fast Orbit Feedback (FOFB) corrects electron beam movements. • Based on readings of DBPMs [2]. • Problem:reference of DBPMs is not static. Fluctuations (μm level) due to: • Air temperature variation at location of DBPM electronics • Temperature changes in SLS tunnel due to beam loss • Solution:XBPM feedback (slow: 0.5 Hz): • photon beam changes = angle variation of orbit at source point → changes the reference of DBPMs • Implemented on bending beamlines and in-vacuum undulator beamlines. Feed forward (IDFF) corrects a priori distortions due to ID gap changes.Acts on correctors upstream and downstream of the ID [3]. Problem: IDFF has a good efficiency to stabilise electron beam but internal ID steering effects cause displacement of photon beam. Solution:XBPMs are included in IDFF determination procedure as shown (note: XBPMs need to be calibrated for each gap): Implemented on in-vacuum undulator beamlines. Move gap Step 2 Step 1 Observe effect on photon beam position Observe effect on electron orbit Deduce correction kicks on electron orbit Apply correction Results: Results: XBPM DBPM DBPM before ID preliminary calibration x Without XBPM feedback (X09LA) 5 μm y 30 μm DBPM after ID • XBPM aligned at gap = 8.5 mm • Without Feed Forward: • Gap closed to 5 mm → 150 μm excursion • With Feed Forward: • → no excursion [1] x y DBPM before ID With XBPM feedback (X10SA) μm stability!
