Description
The DESY's Bunch Arrival Time Monitors (BAM) are state-of-the-art sensors based on an electro-optical detection principle, that delivers information on the bunch timing with femtosecond-level precision. Recent developments concerning the device construction and automation resulted in the BAM system stability, that enables year-long participation on standard accelerator operation. Such level of stability is unprecedented, and gives access to observation of longer-term phenomena that influence the machine synchronization. Additional advances in the performance of the BAMs attacking sub-fs resolution enabled synchronization of the electron beam with a world-leading precision of less than 3fs at European XFEL.
