Abstract :
A diagnostic system utilizing commercially available fast analog digitizers has been developed at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) for capturing and analyzing transient beam behaviour preceding rapid beamloss. The diagnostic system is based on a turn-by-turn data acquisition system which records beam position information from individual bunches in CESR, as well as RF system diagnostic signals. An accompanying display and analysis package has been developed to aid in diagnosing the causes of beamloss events. Examples of beamloss mechanisms are described
