Abstract
The Beam Position Monitor (BPM) system for the Final Focus Test Beam (FFTB) at SLAG is designed to meet challenging specifications in the areas of sin gle-pulse resolution, ab initio installation accuracy, and time-stability o f BPM electrical centroids. We review the tolerances on these quantities an d the technical choices made to achieve same, and detail the results of sev eral studies of the actual performance of the system. These results are the n related to the BPM system requirements for a future high-energy e(+)e(-) linear collider. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
