A high resolution cavity BPM for the CLIC Test Facility

Abstract

In frame of the development of a high resolution BPM system for the CLIC Main Linac we present the design of a cavity BPM prototype. It consists of a waveguide loaded dipole mode resonator and a monopole mode reference cavity, both operating at 15 GHz, to be compatible with the bunch frequencies at the CLIC Test Facility. Requirements, design concept, numerical analysis, and practical considerations are discussed.Comment: 5 pp. 14th Beam Instrumentation Workshop (BIW10) 2-6 May 2010. Santa Fe, New Mexic
