Monitoring the filling pattern of the ANKA storage Ring — •Benjamin Kehrer, Nicole Hiller, André Hofmann, Erhard Huttel, Vitali Judin, Marit Klein, Sebastian Marsching, Anke-Susanne Müller, and Nigel Smale — Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany

The user's demand of customized radiation pulse patterns for time-resolved experiments requires precise measurements of the filling pattern.

In order to achieve this, a filling pattern monitor based on Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting was installed and tested at the ANKA storage ring.

The technique of Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting is well suited for measuring periodic signals as it is superior to analog recording with regard to bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio. It is based on measuring the arrival times of single photons by dedicated detectors relative to a periodical trigger signal. At the ANKA storage ring we use a Single Photon Avalanche Diode as detector. This talk will discuss the method and present first results.
