Abstract A high-resolution, low-latency, stripline beam position monitor (BPM) system has been developed for use at particle accelerators and beamlines that operate with trains of particle bunches with bunch separations as low as several tens of nanoseconds, such as future linear electron-positron colliders and free-electron lasers. The system consists of fast analogue stripline BPM signal processors input to a custom FPGA-based digital feedback board which drives a pair of kickers local to the BPMs and nominally orthogonal in phase in closed-loop feedback mode, thus achieving both beam position and angle stabilisation. The feedback system was tested with the electron beam in the extraction line of the Accelerator Test Facility at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Japan. Recent upgrades to the BPMs have increased the single-shot, real-time position resolution of the system to ~150 nm for a beam charge of 1.3 nC. We report the latest results which demonstrate the feedback system operating at this resolution limit and a beam stabilisation performance of 200 nm.
