III.6 — Beam coupling impedance measurements with beam and on a bench / Biancacci, Nicolò (CERN)
The beam coupling impedance is one of the key quantities describing the interaction between aparticle beam travelling in a particle accelerator and its surroundings. Under specific circumstances,the impedance can lead to severe beam instabilities which limit the overall performance of a runningaccelerator or pose challenges for the achievement of a project.In this contribution, we present the main techniques in use to characterize the impedance either withbeam-based procedures, or with RF measurements on a test bench.

Development of radiation-tolerant beam imaging via multimode fiber and synthetic data-driven machine learning / Xu, Q (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech. ; CERN ; U. Liverpool (main)) ; Zhang, H D (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech. ; U. Liverpool (main)) ; Trad, G (CERN) ; Hill, A (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech. ; U. Liverpool (main)) ; Roncarolo, F (CERN) ; Welsch, C P (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech. ; U. Liverpool (main))
Transverse beam profile monitoring in high-radiation areas is challenging due to camera degradation. A proposed solution employs a multimode fiber (MMF) to relay optical signals from the radiation zone to a shielded area, where a standard CMOS camera can operate safely. [...]

An optical beam loss monitor (oBLM) has recently been installed at the slow extraction region of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN. The oBLM offers a new method for detecting beam losses at the SPS by utilizing the Cherenkov radiation emitted during beam loss interactions with an optical fibre. [...]
