Electro optical monitor final report

In the CLIC two beam acceleration scheme the Main Beam must be precisely synchronized with respect to the RF power produced by the Drive Beam. Timing errors would have an impact on the collider performances. The Drive Beam phase errors should be controlled, by means of a feed forward system, within 0.1 ° (23 fs @ 12GHz) to avoid a luminosity reduction larger than 2%. A beam phase arrival monitor is an essential component of the system. As an alternative to a classical design using analogue electronic done in task 9.5.1., we pursue an approach using electro optical modulators. The advantage of this is its very high band width, it is measuring the arrival time of individual bunches with a potential resolution below 10 fs. The system was designed, manufactured and tested. As specified in the work package, the performance with beam was validated at the PSI injector.
