Current and position beam monitor with HTS SQUIDs and HTS magnetic shield for the RIKEN Ring Cyclotron

This year, a prototype of a highly sensitive beam current monitor with a High- Temperature Superconducting (HTS) SQUID and an HTS magnetic shield: HTS-SQUID monitor has been installed in the beam transport line of the RIKEN Ring Cyclotron (RRC). Unlike other existing facilities, the HTS-SQUID monitor allows us to measure the DC of highenergy heavy-ion beams nondestructively in such a way that the beams are diagnosed in real - time and the beam current extracted from the RRC can be recorded without interrupting the beam user's experiments.
