Description

Flying wire systems have been installed in the Fermilab Main Ring, Tevatron, Booster, and Accumulator to measure the transverse beam profiles. During the recent shut down many improvements were incorporated to increase the reliability of the hardware, software, and data obtained from their operation. These improvements include adding a double fork to the Tevatron systems, developing a new scintillator/photomultiplier tube combination, and a broken wire monitor. In addition an analysis of the motion control was performed to understand the frequent operational problems encountered
