Expressing Properties of BPM Measurement System in Terms of Error   Emittance and Error Twiss Parameters
  We show that properties of the beam position monitor (BPM) system designed for the measurement of transverse and energy beam jitters can be described in terms of the usual accelerator physics concepts of emittance, energy spread, dispersions and betatron functions. Besides that, using the Courant-Snyder quadratic form as error estimator we introduce the scalar objective function which can be used as design criteria of a BPM measurement system with needed properties.
