Electronic Instrumentation for a Non - Intercepting Gamma - Beam Monitor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes the electronic instrumentation for a nonintercepting gamma-beam monitor in use at the 82” bubble chamber at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The position and the intensity of the beam are monitored by four shower-counters placed behind a 2-mm collimator. The bubble chamber flash-illumination and cameraadvance are inhibited when the beam is not centered within 0.5 mm.

Investigation of Beam Alignment Monitor Technologies for the LCLS FEL Undulator?
To maintain gain in the proposed 100 m long linac-driven Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) Free Electron Laser (FEL) undulator, the electron and photon beams must propagate colinearly to within -5 urn rms over distances comparable to the 11.7 m FEL gain length in the 6 mm diameter undulator vacuum chamber. We have considered a variety of intercepting and non-intercepting position monitor techn...
متن کاملImaging-Spectroscopy for BIF-Monitors in Rare Gases and Nitrogen
For transverse profile determination a non-intercepting Beam Induced Fluorescence (BIF)-monitor was developed. The BIF-monitor detects fluorescence light emitted by residual gas molecules after atomic collisions with beam ions [1]. Using an imaging spectrograph the spectral response was mapped and associated with the corresponding gas transitions in helium, argon, krypton, xenon and nitrogen. S...
متن کاملDesign and First Operation of a Silicon-based Non–invasive Beam Monitor
Non–invasive, highly accurate and reliable beam monitors are a desired aim of any beam diagnostics design. Knowledge of beam parameters is essential in fundamental research, industrial or medical applications with varying demands. It’s also extremely critical in the optimization of ion beams used for cancer treatment. Ocular tumour treatment at the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre (CCC) uses a 60 Me...
متن کاملBeam Induced Fluorescence Monitor - Spectroscopy in Nitrogen, Helium, Argon, Krypton and Xenon Gas
As conventional intercepting diagnostics will not withstand high intensity ion beams, Beam Induced Fluorescence (BIF) profile monitors constitute a preeminent alternative for non-intercepting profile measurements [1]. This diagnostic technique makes use of the optical fluorescence emission of beam-excited gases. Recently BIF became an important diagnostic tool for transversal beam profile measu...
متن کاملNon-intercepting electron beam diagnostics using diffraction ra- diation
The Linear Collider presents new challenges for beam instrumentation. Some of the beam dimensions are of the order of a few nm (at the i.p.), and to be able to reach these small sizes, the beams have to be tightly controlled and understood from their very inception onward. A number of different techniques are available in the arsenal of beam size and beam emittance measurements (e.g. transition...
