Abstract
The Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) is a third-generation, 3-GeV storage ring with a design current of 500 mA. To monitor the photon beam stability, blade-type X-ray beam position monitors (XBPMs) are installed to record and monitor the photon beam position. The beam position coordinates involve both the X- and Y-axes, and we must consider coupling effects in the XBPM, which have to be reduced for reliability and optimum precision. This study focuses on the front-end (FE) XBPM calibration via four-blade normalization and suppression matrix compensation. The calibration results show that in the optimal measurement range of ±200μm, the coupling effect between the X and Y position is suppressed to less than a 1-μm drift, which satisfies the high-accuracy beam position requirements for user operation. The reliability and precision of the XBPM system improved after applying the serial calibration process developed in this study, and the detailed derivation of each calibration step will be discussed in this paper.
