THYFI — Beam Instrumentation and Feedback<br />

Ionization Profile Monitoring at the Tevatron<br />

Ionization Profile monitors have been used<br />

in almost all machines at Fermilab. How- A. Jansson (Fermilab)<br />

ever, the Tevatron presents some particular<br />

challenges with its two counter-rotating, small beams, and stringent vacuum requirements. In order to obtain adequate<br />

beam size accuracy with the small signals available, custom made electronics from particle physics experiments<br />

was employed. This provides a fast (single bunch) and dead-timeless charge integration with a sensitivity in the<br />

femto-Coulomb range, bringing the system close to the single ionization electron detection threshold. The detector<br />

itself is based on a previous Main Injector prototype, albeit with many modifications and improvements. The first<br />

detector was installed at the end of 2005, with a second detector to follow during the spring shutdown. The ultimate<br />

is to continuously monitor beam size oscillations at injection, as well as the beam size evolution during ramp and<br />

squeeze.<br />
