A novel method for measuring energy loss in electron rings

Abstract

We present a novel method for measuring the energy loss per turn in an electron storage ring. The method involves the accurate measurement of the change in the rotation period of an uncaptured electron bunch using a dual-sweep streak camera. In our opinion, this method is more direct and accurate than other techniques. We present examples of measurements performed at the Advanced Light Source.
