Time-of-Flight energy measurements with BPMs
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The energy of a bunched non-relativistic ion beam can be deduced from measuring the beam phases in neighboring Beam Position Monitors (BPMs). This report presents estimations on implementation of such a procedure at PIP-II H- linac being constructed at Fermilab. In part, the case when the flight time between BPMs is larger than the period of BPM frequency is considered in detail. When the absolute BPM phase calibration is not available, the BPM phase information can be used to trace deviations of the beam energy from the desired value. Such “energy deviation” parameter is operationally implemented at the transfer line between 400 MeV Linac and the Booster, and its analog is expected to be used in the transfer line from PIP-II as well.
