Abstract
I developed a beam current transformer (CT) for monitoring the beam of a slow-cycling accelerator. The beam monitor is a new type of CT that measures the average current of a circulating beam using a negative impedance circuit (NIC). Adding an NIC can extend the low-frequency cutoff of a CT down to 0Â Hz (Ninomiya et al., 2006 [1]). This report presents the detail of our proposed beam-monitoring system. The measurable band width of the CT is 30Â kHz. The stability of the droop time constant of the square pulse response is ~2%/s. This beam monitor was developed for the synchrotron at the Wakasa-Wan Energy Research Center (WERC) and is currently installed there.
