Description
Fourth generation synchrotron light sources require significant advancements in beam stabiltiy, typically on the sub-micron scale. Consequently the performance specification of beam position monitors must similarly advance. This has lead to compensation schemes, used to mitigate position disturbances and drift from the environment, being implemented near the beginning of the rf chain i.e. downstream of the button pick-ups. Given that electronics are likely to be located in the tunnel in close proximity to the girders it is important to understand the environmental variations in these locations. For this purpose a new storage ring air temperature monitoring system has been installed at Diamond Light Source. Here a description of the system is presented with recent results.
