Statistical analysis of RHIC beam position monitors performance

Statistical analysis of RHIC beam position monitors performance

A detailed statistical analysis of beam position monitors (BPM) performance at RHIC is a critical factor in improving regular operations and future runs. Robust identification of malfunctioning BPMs plays an important role in any orbit or turn-by-turn analysis. Singular value decomposition and Fouri...
