  1. Stripline Beam Position Monitors for the High Luminosity LHC D. Draskovic, T Lefevre CERN, BE-BI-QP

  2. Optimizing the strip-line directivity to provide the best possible accuracy for counter propagating beams • Studying the effects of Tungsten-Inermet180 absorbers installed to reduce the amount of collision debris Design of Stripline BPMs for theHigh Luminosity LHC • Directivity: Ratio of signal power at the upstream and downstream ports in response to a beam current. • Directional couplers used for detection of LHC beams can typically achieve 20 dB of directivity. • Work in progress: • - Redesign of electrode shapes • - Redesign of transitions between the electrode and coax connector to minimize return loss • - New design with absorbers and new beam screen shape

  3. Diameter 148mm • 16mm absorbers • Broadband directivity 24dB Design with circular cross-section and tubular electrodes

  4. Design with new octagonal cross-section, 6 mm thick absorbers and flat electrode • Diameter 138mm • 6mm absorbers • Broadband directivity 27dB

  5. Optimization of stripline-to-coaxial transition (CST Microwave Studio Time-Domain Reflectometry Analysis of different transition curvatures) Best impedance match (50 Ohms) achieved with smooth transition. Document reference

  6. Decrease in voltage signal level due to Tungsten absorbers presence pipe diam.148mm Vp1=51.9V Vp2=39.9V Vp1/Vp2=1.3 • Pipe diam.148mm -30%, Pipe diam. 100mm -35% • However, voltage levels are too high for existing pick-up electronics, so it is not going to be an issue • As both Vu and Vd levels are decreasing, change in directivity is small Document reference

  7. Conclusions First iteration of the optimization of the IR strip-line design has been done for two geometries Latest version of the beam screens Second iteration based on realistic mechanical design to be launched in a second phase Mechanical work just starting with EN/MME Study the feasibility of the current BPM design New stripline design with an improved directivity (manufacturing of a very special shape of stripline) Insertion of Inermet absorber : complexity, cost, robustness, continuity of absorbers, question whether we should keep them ? Design of the BPM connection to the PIMS and capillary I/O Document reference

  8. Latest version of the two beam screens

  9. The peak values of voltages at the upstream and downstream ports are 54.47V and 2.42V Broadband directivity achieved is 27.04 dB
