نویسنده
چکیده
Beam monitors using cameras have evolved from qualitative beam observation to precision measurements. After a description of the two main TV standards, the various sensors: TV tubes (Vidicon), solid state sensors (Interline and Frame Transfer CCDs, CMOS and CID X-Y matrices), and Fast Shutter/Intensifiers of the MCP type are reviewed. Comparative resolution measurements for the various sensors described are given. The two types of sensor acquisition hardware: “frame grabbers” and “digital cameras”, are described. Finally the special requirements and the image processing for beam instrumentation are reviewed, including radiation hardness, spectral sensitivity, fast acquisitions and enlarged dynamic range.

The CNGS project was approved by CERN Council in December 1999. This report gives a short description of the νμ beam to be built at CERN in the direction of the INFN Gran Sasso underground laboratory (LNGS). The first goal of this new facility is the production of sufficient νμ in an energy region optimised for the detection of an adequate number of ντ produced by oscillation at LNGS. The layou...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and CERN Neutrino to Gran Sasso (CNGS) projects require the construction of a new fast-extraction system in the long straight section LSS4 of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN. A conventional DC septum magnet will be used, in conjunction with the installation of horizontal and vertical extraction bumpers, main quadrupoles with enlarged apertures, extract...

A new measurement has been made of the rate of pair{production in a 3.2 mm thick tungsten crystal, exposed to photons with energies in the range 10 to 150 GeV, for angles of incidence up to 10 mrad from the crystal axis. A strong enhancement of the pair{production rate is observed when the beam is aligned along the <100> crystal axis, as compared to a random orientation. This e ect can be explo...

In this paper we discuss longitudinal beam coupling impedance measurements performed with the coaxial wire method on a modified prototype of the SPS MKE kicker. The frequency dependent real and imaginary part of the distributed coupling impedance are obtained from the measured S-parameters by standard and improved log-formulae. A comparison with theoretical models and previous measurements is d...
