Abstract:
Accurate measurement of the intense pulse electron beam is required by upgrade of linear induction accelerator. This is achieved by not only the technology of beam position monitor (BPM) design and assamble, but also the calibration of BPM. This paper describes the research of calibration technology based on the measuring principle of intense pulse electron beam position monitor in linear induction accelerator. Theoretic method is used to calculate calibrated effects in different signal calculation, polynomial fit and calibration. Characteristic plane calibration is provided according to the analytic results. In the system of BPM position calibration, the No.23 RRM (resistive ring monitor) of multi-pulse electron linear induction accelarator is calibrated by different method. The experimental results validate the theoretic results. The calibration method of intense pulse electron beam position monitor is decided according to the results of research.
