Optimization of a phase-space beam position and size monitor for low-emittance light sources

The recently developed vertical phase-space beam position and size monitor (ps-BPM) system has proven to be able to measure the electron-source position, angle, size and divergence simultaneously in the vertical plane at a single location of a beamline. The optimization of the ps-BPM system is performed by ray-tracing simulation to maximize the instrument sensitivity and resolution. The contribution of each element is studied, including the monochromator, the K-edge filter, the detector and the source-to-detector distance. An optimized system is proposed for diffraction-limited storage rings, such as the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade project. The simulation results show that the ps-BPM system can precisely monitor the source position and angle at high speed. Precise measurements of the source size and divergence will require adequate resolution with relatively longer integration time.
