A4 DIAMOND XBPM® MONITOR
Monitoring X-ray Beams with Highest Precision
The A4 Diamond XBPM® Monitor provides high-precision X-ray beam diagnostics. It is used at experimental beam lines of Synchrotron Light Sources for beam position and beam intensity monitoring. The high transparency and exceptional spatial resolution makes it perfectly suited as monitor for soft as well as hard X-ray beams.
The A4 Diamond XBPM® Monitor consists of a UHV compatible B9 Diamond XBPM® Detector and a XANDY AX108 real-time readout system with included amplifiers (1 pA - 1 mA), bias supply for the XBPM® Detector, GUI and PID controller. An API is provided for the integration in the control system. Cables and connectors of 1 m length are included.

ADDITIONAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
The A4 Diamond XBPM® Monitor can be adapted to the specific needs of the experimental beam line. The standard Diamond XBPM® Monitor covers the X-ray intensity range from 106 to 1016 photons/s and can be adapted for higher intensities.
The response of a 20 μm XBPM® detector as function of beam intensity and energy is shown in the Figure together with the switch amplifier stages. The Amplifiers are configured to optimally protect the μ-gap® of the XBPM® during operation.

XANDY is the data acquisition system, power controller and monitoring unit for the Diamond XBPM® detector. XANDY is operated via the web-based GUI or via an API, which enables the integration in the local control system.
The embedded PID controller, accessible via the API, allows beam position control using the two analogue feedbacks DAC 1 & DAC 2. The measured beam intensity is provided as analogue feedback via DAC 3 with 10 MHz.
