Strip-line monitors

The coupling impedances of the beam position monitors, consisting of two strip lines with length cm, each subtending an azimuthal angle rad and having a characteristic impedance , are

where is the total number of monitors and we have assumed that each strip-line plate has a radial distance mm from the beam axis. Monitors are provided close to each quadrupole to measure the horizontal or vertical beam position and the factor appearing in the transverse impedance accounts for the fact that only half of the monitors contribute in a given plane; the betatron function to be used in Eq. (2) for the transverse tune shifts is however m, i.e. the maximum beta in the regular arc. If the monitors were equipped with four strip lines, to measure the horizontal and vertical beam position at the same time, the longitudinal impedance would be multiplied by a factor two but the transverse tune shifts would remain almost the same, since half of the monitors would be at the minimum beta m.

  
Table 4: Coherent tune shifts at injection due to strip-line monitors.

The tune shifts at injection for a nominal bunch population are shown in Tab. 4: as can be seen, the only significant contribution is that to the transverse dipole tune shift . The effective impedances, defined here as the overlap integrals with the bunch power spectrum , are
