Design And Development Of Deflector Cavity For The Non-Interceptive Bunch Length Measurement System

A non-interceptive bunch length detector system for the measurement of bunch width of accelerated beam has been designed and developed. This detector system is based on emitted secondary electrons produced by a primary ion beam hitting a thin tungsten wire placed in the beam path. The measurement of the longitudinal beam shape for wide range of beam energy, intensity as well as ion species is possible with this detector. One of the main components of the detector system is a RF deflector cavity used to deflect electrons in correlation with rf phase of the accelerator. The detailed design, development with measurement results of the deflector cavity resonator have been reported in this paper.
