An improved method of bunch-by-bunch beam position calculation in a heavy-ion synchrotron

The beam position monitor (BPM) system is a key element of the orbit correction system of a heavy-ion synchrotron. The bunch-by-bunch beam position calculation algorithm is one of the important parts of the BPM system, which determines the processing speed, accuracy and resolution of the beam position measurement. In this paper, a total least squares (TLS) algorithm based on an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) filter called EWMA TLS...
