Abstract

The Synchrotron Light Research Institute (SLRI) operates the SPS-I facility located in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, which provides synchrotron light for various scientific and industrial applications. The linac injector, serving as the primary injector, is responsible for electron beam bunching and acceleration to 40 MeV, after which the beam is transported to the booster ring via the Low-Energy Beam Transport line (LBT). To ensure optimal beam quality and efficient transport, various beam instrumentation devices are installed along the linac injector and LBT for diagnostics and monitoring. This contribution presents an overview of the beam instrumentation used to measure beam current, transverse profiles, and energy profiles, serving as a fundamental reference for future beam optimization and performance improvements of the SPS-I linac injector system.
