Abstract :
To accelerate both protons and heavy ions, the AGS (Alternating Gradient Synchrotron) booster requires a broadband (multi-octave) beam position monitoring system with a dynamic range spanning several orders of magnitude (2*10/sup 10/ to 1.5*10/sup 13/ particles per pulse). System requirements include the ability to acquire single-turn trajectory and average orbit information with +or-0.1-mm resolution. The design goal of +or-0.5-mm corrected accuracy requires that the detectors have repeatable linear performance after periodic bakeout at 300 degrees C. The system design and capabilities of the booster beam position monitor are described, and initial results are presented.<>
