BEST

BEST is a beam stabilisation system from ELS Instruments (formerly CAEN ELS) that keeps photon beam position steady on synchrotron and accelerator beamlines. It combines TetrAMM picoammeters, a PreDAC actuator unit and a central control unit in a fast feedback loop. ProDigitek supplies and supports BEST in Australia.
