Image sensor technology for beam instrumentation
- CERN, CH1211 Geneva 23 (Switzerland)
Beam monitoring using cameras has evolved from qualitative beam observation to precision measurement. After a description of the two main TV standards, various sensors including 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 are given. The two types of sensor acquisition hardware, 'frame grabbers' and 'digital cameras', are described. Finally, special image processing requirements for beam instrumentation are reviewed, including radiation hardness, spectral sensitivity, fast acquisition, and enlarged dynamic range.
