title = "SNS ring and RTBT beam current monitor",
abstract = "The SNS Diagnostics Group has implemented Beam Current Monitors (BCM) for the Ring and RTBT (Ring to Target Beam Transferline). In the Ring, the BCM must handle a thousand-fold increase of intensity during the accumulation, and in the RTBT, the BCM must communicate the integrated charge of the beam pulse in real-time for every shot to the target division for correlation with the produced neutrons. This paper describes the development of a four channel solution for the Ring BCM and the use of FPGA for the RTBT BCM to deliver the total charge to the target over a fiber optic network. Both system versions are based on the same commercial digitizer board.",
