VXI-based, integrated system of beam position monitoring and rf measuremednt for the Advanced Photon Source (APS) linear accelerator

摘要

A combined system of beam position monitoring and rf measurement has been implemented at the APS S-band linear accelerator (linac). The linac is subdivided into five sectors and each sector is comprised of a klystron and associated accelerating structures. The instrumentation for each sector is located, together with its processor, in two VM mainframes. This system has operated successfully for more than a year.
