Title: Beam Profile Measurement at 30 GeV Using Optical Transition Radiation

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10510· OSTI ID:10510

We present results of measurements of spot size and angular divergence of a 30 GeV electron beam through use of optical transition radiation (OTR). The OTR near field pattern and far field distribution are measured as a function of beam spot size and divergence at wavelengths of 441, 532, and 800 nm, for both the single and double foil configurations. Electron beam spot sizes of 50 {micro}m rms have been resolved, demonstrating the utility of OTR for measurement of small beam spot sizes of high energy (30 GeV) electron beams. Two-foil interference was clearly observed and utilized electron beam angular divergences of {approximately} 100 {micro}rad.
