Abstract

We are reporting on the latest progress in the longitudinal beam profile and emittance diagnostics development at SNS. In order to characterize the longitudinal phase space of the beam in the SNS 1GeV proton linac the bunch profiles need to be measured with a few picoseconds accuracy. The original SNS set of diagnostics included only four interceptive Feschenko-style longitudinal profile monitors in the normal conducting part of the linac at 100MeV. Two recently added systems are: a non-interceptive laser scanner in the injector at 2.5MeV and a novel non-interceptive method for longitudinal Twiss parameters measurement using the beam position monitors in the Super Conducting Linac (SCL) at 300MeV. This paper presents details of these two diagnostics; discuss their performance, resolution limitations and future development plans.
