Accompanying the brilliance-upgrading project at the Photon Factory storage ring, the beam-position monitor (BPM) system has been renovated. The new system was designed to enable precise and fast measurements to correct the closed-orbit distortion (COD), as well as to feed back the orbit position during user runs. There are 42 BPMs newly installed, amounting to a total of 65 BPMs. All of the BPMs are calibrated on the test bench using a coaxially strung metallic wire. The measured electrical offsets are typically 200 micro m in both directions, which is 1/2-1/3 of those of the old-type BPMs. In the signal-processing system, PIN diode switches are employed in order to improve reliability. In the fastest mode, this system is capable of measuring COD within about 10 ms; this fast acquisition will allow fast suppression of the beam movement for frequencies up to 50 Hz using a global feedback system.

We developed a wideband RF cavity beam position monitor (CBPM) with a 217 MHz bandwidth centered at the 4.875 GHz dipole mode frequency as part of the preliminary research for a high-repetition-rate hard x-ray free electron laser project at the Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics. This paper presents new results demonstrating bunch-by-bunch position measurements on electron bunches spaced by 2.

Article Synopsis
- A new real-time feedback system has been designed to enhance beam position and energy at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility's hard X-ray nanoprobe beamline.
- The system separates the beam position signals into high-frequency and low-frequency components, which are corrected using two different types of optical components with varying inertial masses.
- Experimental results show a marked improvement in stability, reducing beam angular fluctuations significantly, from 2.21 to 0.92 µrad RMS horizontally and from 0.72 to 0.10 µrad RMS vertically.

The upgrade of the Swiss Light Source, called SLS 2.0, necessitates comprehensive updates to all 18 user front ends. This upgrade is driven by the increased power of the synchrotron beam, reduced floor space, changing source points, new safety regulations and enhanced beam properties, including a brightness increase by up to a factor of 40.

Article Synopsis
- - The integration of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with radiotherapy has improved X-ray treatments by enhancing soft-tissue contrast, allowing for more precise targeting and adaptive treatment planning.
- - Current research is focusing on combining MRI with proton beam therapy (PBS), which holds potential advantages due to proton therapy's sensitivity to changes in anatomy and organ movement.
- - A simulation study proposes a design where proton beams pass through a specific central opening in an MRI system, aiming to maintain treatment quality while addressing challenges that need to be overcome for future clinical application.

The Pohang Accelerator Laboratory X-ray Free-Electron Laser (PAL-XFEL) operates hard X-ray and soft X-ray beamlines for conducting scientific experiments providing intense ultrashort X-ray pulses based on the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) process. The X-ray free-electron laser is characterized by strong pulse-to-pulse fluctuations resulting from the SASE process. Therefore, online photon diagnostics are very important for rigorous measurements.
