| Historically the use of the quadrupole moment measurement has been impeded by the requirement for large dynamic range, as well as the sensitivity of the measurement to beam position. In this paper we investigate the use of the transfer function technique in combination with the sensitivity and 160dB revolution line rejection of the direct diode detection analog front end to open the possibility of a sensitive emittance diagnostic that may be implemented economically and without operational complication, quasi-parasitic to the operation of existing phase-locked loop tune measurement systems. Such a diagnostic would be particularly useful as an emittance monitor during acceleration ramp development in machines like RHIC and the LHC. |
