Advances in beam position monitoring methods at GSI synchrotrons — •Rahul Singh, Andreas Reiter, Peter Forck, Piotr Kowina, Kevin Lang, and Piotr Miedzik — GSI, Darmstadt

At the GSI synchrotron facilities, capacitive beam pick-up signals for position evaluation are immediately digitized within the acquisition electronics due to availability of reliable, fast and high resolution ADCs. The signal processing aspects are therefore fully dealt with in the digital domain. Novel digital techniques for asynchronous and synchronous (bunch-by-bunch) beam position estimation have been developed at GSI SIS-18 and CRYRING as part of FAIR development program. This contribution will highlight the advancements and its impact on the operational ease and high availability of the BPM systems.
