Abstract
At the visible light diagnostic (VLD) port at the Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA), it is possible to study the energy spread of electron bunches by measuring the horizontal bunch profile of the incoherent synchrotron radiation. KALYPSO, an MHz-rate line-array detector, has been employed to measure the bunch profile. Recently, the KALYPSO system has been upgraded to a version of a microstrip sensor based on TI-LGAD. The measurements have shown that the system’s overall sensitivity was significant - at least by a factor of 20 improved, enabling the study of bunch profiles at low bunch charges. This contribution will present an overview of the upgraded setup and preliminary results.
