The “A0 RadiaBeam” project objective is to evaluate transverse beam profile monitors proposed for the NML Low Energy Beamlines. A0 was simply chosen as a convenient test bed and RadiaBeam was chosen on the merits of their modular IBIS (Integrated Beam Imaging System) design proposal. Thin metallic foil screens for Optical Transition Radiation (OTR) and Ce:YAG single‐crystal scintillators are being investigated along with all supporting mechanical, electronic, and optical systems. The project goal is to move from prototype evaluation into production for NML.

Low Charge

We easily measured single

bunch beams less than 15 pC15 pC

with sigma widthsof ~50 µm.

Repeatability (with beam)

• 5 withOUT actuation: ~±2 pixels

• 5 WITH actuation: ~±2 pixels

2 sets of 5 measurements

need to make more

measurements just using the LED illumination

Conclusion

•What we DID measure:• 46 µm46 µm sigma beam

• 15 pC15 pC single bunch

•What we did NOT find:• the YAG saturationsaturation point

• the OTR meltingmelting point

Possible Improvements

• Replace Virtual Target with 4th position Calibration Target• Requires binary weighted actuators• Use annular LED to illuminate Calibration Target or fixed beam splitter with LED

• Zoom lens needs position read back for zoom, aperture, and focus.

• Eliminate bearing over-constraint (use gimbal bearings and relaxed clearance)

• needs to include solenoid & bracket mounted and wired with mounted connector.

• limit switches need to be calibrated and wired with mounted connector

• finger pinch shield needs to be broken up into 3 2π/3 pieces

• foils need to be delivered mounted and pre-baked.

• Vacuum cross and optical assembly need to be joined with a bolted flange.

• must include an integral ridged backbone

• each cross needs to be delivered as a completely assembled & functional package
