Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 4, 122801 (2001) [7 pages]Luminosity monitor using the coherent beam-beam interaction
D. Sagan Received 25 April 2001; published 14 December 2001 At the Cornell Electron/Positron Storage Ring, a fast luminosity monitor has been implemented. The monitor works by measuring the amplitude of oscillation of selected bunches while the corresponding opposing bunches are shaken. Signal-to-noise ratios of better than 100:1 have been obtained with 1 sec averaging times. A software normalization program ameliorates the unwanted dependence of the signal upon certain vertical lattice parameters such as the vertical tune. ©2001 The American Physical Society
