Instrumentation Technologies in North America Introducing Libera Brilliance+ Libera Sync Assures Clock Signal Distribution with Femtosecond Jitter Injection Efficiency Measurements at ESRF   Register at the 6th Libera Workshop held in Solkan, Slovenia, from 13-15 October 2010!     Are you interested in a Libera on-site demonstration? If you want to quickly evaluate the functionality of Libera instruments, the best way is to test them on-site. You may either request a tryout unit, or we can arrange an on-site demonstration with a Libera engineer assisting you during the evaluation. Special training sessions and workshops for different laboratories are also being organized. Please let us know if you are interested in either of these options by contacting us at:  support@i-tech.si.

Instrumentation Technologies in North America Instrumentation Technologies has opened a company in the United States and will begin operations in North America this year. This is in order to provide better service to labs there and to have a better understanding of that area’s specific needs. We will keep all our North American customers informed of our plans and how they are proceeding and look forward to a closer working relationship! Introducing Libera Brilliance+ Instrumentation Technologies presents a new approach to beam-position processing at the 2010 Beam Instrumentation Workshop in Santa Fe. Libera Brilliance+ integrates and expands on the proven and widely used Libera Brilliance. It is built on the latest technology, including VirtexTM 6 and standard COM with Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo processors. True turn-by-turn (TbT) measurement without smearing between adjacent turns enables precise and efficient machine physics studies. Additionally, the huge memory buffer offers storage of 0.1 second of raw ADC data and typically 10 seconds of TbT data. Libera Brilliance+ is available in two different form factors housing either one or up to four processors in a single chassis. With flexible configurations and modular design, it meets the needs of laboratories of any size. To reserve Libera Brilliance+, ask for the pre-order bonus at sales@i-tech.si.

A series of tests were recently completed at Sincrotrone Trieste (FERMI@Elettra), which demonstrated long-term measurements and best results achieved at less than 20 fs RMS over 24 hours. The tests were conducted with optical fiber laid in the tunnel under real operating conditions. Tests also showed that embedded diagnostic features in the system allow the user to monitor the environmental conditions of the fibers. Libera Sync is essential for clock distribution on Free Electron Lasers. It can also improve beamline experiments at advanced synchrotron light sources and other machines requiring highly synchronized geographically distributed systems. The instrument is the result of co-operation between Sincrotrone Trieste, the University of Ljubljana, and Instrumentation Technologies.   For more information contact sales@i-tech.si and visit the instrument‘s web page. Injection Efficiency Measurements at ESRF Libera Brilliance Single Pass has been shown to be an effective tool for monitoring the beam-charge losses during injection at ESRF. Mr. Kees Scheidt and his team, together with Instrumentation Technologies, installed Libera beam position processors on the Transfer-Line-1, Booster and Transfer-Line-2. The goal was to study the injection process in order to optimize the injection charge-transfer and its stability. The instruments provided an excellent performance in terms of accuracy, resolution and reproducibility. A significant result of the studies is that Libera Brilliance Single Pass is capable of measuring at very low beam current (below 0.05 mA which is a factor 100 below nominal currents). More about the experiment will be presented in the article Injection Efficiency Measurements at IPAC conference in Japan. To know more before that, contact support@i-tech.si.
