The TEV I Beam Position Monitor System

The TeV I Beam Position Monitor System is described. This system is designed to provide accurate orbit information during both the commissioning and operational phases of the Fermilab Antiproton Source. The system is required to provide position information with submillimeter resolution for both single turn orbit measurements with beam intensities in the range 1×109 to 1×1011, and multiple turn (closed orbit) measurements with beam intensities in the range 1×107 to 5×1011. The system has already been used during commissioning of the Debuncher to measure the first turn through the ring, the horizontal and vertical betatron tunes, the closed orbit, the dispersion, aperture, and chromaticity. During normal antiproton operation the system will be used to monitor beam position throughout the accumulation process.
