Description
Within the PETRA IV project at DESY, a new high-resolution Beam Position Monitor
(BPM) system based on MTCA.4 technology is being developed to meet the stringent
requirements of the low-emittance lattice. Building on the successful prototype phase, the
system has now been introduced under the commercial name Libera Brilliance X, a new
member of Instrumentation Technologies’ Libera family. The name emphasizes continuity
with the widely adopted Libera Brilliance+, while extending the concept into the modular
MTCA.4 platform.
The Libera Brilliance X system is built around two key application modules developed for
the PETRA IV project: the DAMC-UNIZUP AMC card, designed at DESY and licensed by
Instrumentation Technologies, and the Libera 2BPMRTM digitizer, developed at
Instrumentation Technologies. Leveraging the modularity of MTCA.4, these boards can be
integrated into various chassis, including compact form factors suitable for laboratory and
test-bench applications.
In this contribution, we present the current development status and the first laboratory test
results obtained with the Libera Brilliance X setup. The performance, modularity, and
application potential of the system will be discussed
