Cyclotron-based proton beams are widely used in research and medical applications due to their capability to deliver bunched beams across a broad range of bunch charges. One of the most critical components in beam diagnostics is the beam position monitor (BPM), which must accurately measure the beam’s position while minimizing disturbance to the beam. At Kutaisi International University (KIU), a superconducting synchro-cyclotron (S2C2) provided by Ion Beam Applications (IBA) will be dedicated exclusively to research, supporting diverse experiments that benefit from proton bunched beams of different intensities. To accommodate these experiments, construction of compact beamline is planned. In this work, we present the electromagnetic design study of an electrostatic BPM that can operate effectively address to the physical and operational constraints of the new beamline.
