A High Resolution Wire Scanner for Micron-size Profile Measurements at the Slc’
نویسندگان
چکیده
_-.. . -. Fine conductive fibers have been used to measure transverse beam dimensions of a few microns at the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC). The beam profile is obtained by scanning a fiber across the beam in steps as small as 1 micron, and recording the secondary emission signal at each step, using a charge sensitive amplifier. We first outline the mechanical construction and the analogue electronics of the wire scanner. We then describe its performance in test beams and in actual operation. The paper closes with a brief discussion of performance limitations of such a beam profile monitor.

Laser-based Profile Monitor for Electron Beams*
High performance TeV energy electron / positron colliders (LC) are the first machines to require online, non-invasive beam size monitors for micron and submicron for beam phase space optimization. Typical beam densities in the LC are well beyond the threshold density for single pulse melting and vaporization of any material, making conventional wire scanners ineffective. Using a finely focused,...
متن کاملMeasuring Micron Size Beams in the SLC Final Focus
A pair of high resolution wire scanners have been built and installed in the SLC final focus. The final focus optics uses a set of de-magnifying telescopes, and an ideal location for a beam size monitor is at one of the magnified image points of the interaction point. The image point chosen for these scanners is in the middle of a large bend magnet. The design beam spots here are about 2 micron...
متن کاملThe effect of focal spot size on the spatial resolution of variable resolution X-ray CT scanner
Background: A variable resolution X-ray (VRX) CT scanner provides a great increase in the spatial resolution. In VRX CT scanners, the spatial resolution of the system and its field of view (FOV) can be changed according to the object size. One of the main factors that limit the spatial resolution of VRX CT scanner is the effect of the X-ray focal spot. Materials and Methods: A theoreti...
متن کاملMeasured Emittance versus Store Time in the SLC Damping Ring
Emittance studies at the SLC North Damping Ring led to precise measurements of the damping time using three independent methods. These measurements were done at three different locations: (1) in the ring using a fast gated video camera which allows the acquisition of the image of the synchrotron light from a single turn, (2) using the extracted beam and a single wire scanner in the ringto-linac...
متن کاملImpact of region of interest size and location in Gafchromic film dosimetry
Introduction: Accurate film dosimetry requires careful consideration of sources of uncertainty. Some of the sources of uncertainty are dependent on the size and location of region of interest (ROI), especially in small fields. Avoiding the penumbra is often a reason for using a small ROI. In contrast, choosing very small ROIs may increase uncertainty due to the reduction of th...
