Synchrotron radiation-based beam size measurements at KARA — •Carl Sax1, Benjamin Kehrer2, Marcel Schuh2, and Anke-Susanne Müller1,2 — 1LAS, KIT, Karlsruhe — 2IBPT, KIT, Karlsruhe
At synchrotron light sources it is crucial to know the size of the electron beam both for accelerator physics and applications of the synchrotron radiation. One way is to use the radiated synchrotron light to infer to the electron beam size. This contribution presents such a beam diagnostic system implemented at the Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA). A python interface for epics (pyDevSup) allows to analyze and calculate the image information inside an epics IOC and transfer it via epics PV to the KARA control system. Additionally it is possible to use a double slit to provide information about the vertical beam size. This setup has been included into the KARA control system and first measurements will be presented.
