Precision Beam Position Monitor for EUROTeV

In the framework of EUROTeV, a Precision Beam Position Monitor (PBPM) has been designed, manufactured and tested. The new PBPM, based on the inductive BPM presently used in the CERN CLIC Test Facility (CTF3), aims to achieve a resolution of 100 nm and an accuracy of 10 μm in a 6 mm aperture. A dedicated test bench has been designed and constructed to fully characterize and optimize the PBPM. This paper describes the final design, presents the test bench results and reports on the beam tests carried out in the CERN CTF3 Linac

Status of the design of a Wide Band beam Current Monitor (WBCM) for EUROTeV

In the framework of EUROTeV, the conceptual design of a new wide band wall current monitor is being carried out. The design is based on the wall current monitors presently installed in CTF3. The new design aims to increase the bandwidth up to 20 GHz. The present device has been tested in a dedicated test bench to understand its limitations in terms of bandwidth. The tests with the present device and the results of the conceptual design for the new one are summarized and discussed in this report

Overview of the control system for the ISCOOL project

In the new ISCOOL (ISolde COOLer and buncher) project the control system must be totally integrated in ISOLDE control system. In addition, controls for a new vacuum section (valves, turbopumps, forepumps), two new quadrupoles (injection and extraction from RFQCB) and the RFQCB itself must be incorporated. Since it would be part of the normal operation at ISOLDE, besides of fully compatible with the existing control system, ISCOOL must have a friendly and robust control, allowing a continuous and stable operation of the HRS separator. In this report a summary of the equipment required, the scheme and the requirements of the control system for the commissioning are presented

ISOLDE PROGRAMME

The experiments aim at a broad exploration of the properties of atomic nuclei far away from the region of beta stability. Furthermore, the unique radioactive beams of over 60~elements produced at the on-line isotope separators ISOLDE-2 and ISOLDE-3 are used in a wide programme of atomic, solid state and surface physics. Around 300 scientists are involved in the project, coming from about 70 laboratories. \\ \\ The electromagnetic isotope separators are connected on-line with their production targets in the extracted 600 MeV proton or 910~MeV Helium-3 beam of the Synchro-Cyclotron. Secondary beams of radioactive isotopes are available at the facility in intensities of 10$^
