Abstract :
The Main Injector will use Beam Position Monitors (BPM) located inside the downstream end of every quadruple magnet. These magnets are reused (or derivatives of) Main Ring quads with existing beam tube still in place. The limited space available, and the desire to maintain the beam pipe aperture, required an unusual shaped BPM with innovative design and production techniques. Information on the various stages of the design, assembly, testing, calibration, and installation of the BPMs is presented
