Abstract :
The first three quarters of the first CEBAF arc have been instrumented with beam position monitors. Thirty-seven monitors (of 450) have been installed and their noise measured. Resolution of 100 μm was obtained at the lowest operating current of 1 μA. The update time of the system is 1 sec, limited by computer interfacing, with a potential bandwidth of greater than 10 kHz
