The bunch current measurement using high-speed photodetector at HLS II
This contribution presents a novel bunch current measurement system based on an ultra-fast photodetector and a high-speed digitizer at Hefei Light Source II (HLS II). In order to achieve bunch-by-bunch resolution, the sampling rate of the system is nearly 225 GS/s via a dedicated equivalent sampling algorithm. According to preliminary tests of daily operation mode and single-bunch mode, the root-mean-square (rms) of current relative error distribution is 1.03%, which illustrates the new system satisfies requirements for high-precision bunch current measurement. In addition, experiment results of "HLS" Morse code fill pattern mode demonstrate this system also could be a convenient and robust tool for beam top-up mode in the future.
