Project Description
The Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) is currently designing a third-generation 3 GeV low emmitance synchrotron light source in Campinas, Brazil, called Sirius, with first beam due to the second quarter of 2016. The Sirius main parameters are the following:
Parameter | Value | Unit |
Beam energy | 3.0 | GeV |
Injection energy (top up) | 3.0 | GeV |
Beam current | 500 | mA |
RF frequency | 500 | MHz |
Harmonic number | 800 | - |
Natural bunch length | 13.2 | ps |
Beam size on insertion devices @ 0.5% coupling (horizontal X vertical) | 139.6-195.9 X 2.6-5.6 | um 2 |
Circumference (storage ring) | 479.664 | m |
In the context of the Sirius project, the Beam Diagnostics Group (DIG) of LNLS has been called to develop a beam position monitoring system (BPM) which must provide electron beam position real-time monitoring, buffered data readouts, fast orbit feedback capabilities and advanced beam diagnostics tools for the new accelerator’s injector and storage ring.
This project is primarily intended to deliver a BPM system for the Sirius machine. Nevertheless, it is made open for the particle accelerators community and grand public for design reuse and collaborative development.
