Measurement and interpretation of electron angle at mabe beam stop
This analysis shows that radiation measurements combined with a sophisticated simulation provides a simple but powerful tool for estimating beam temperature in intense pulsed annular electron-beam accelerators. Specifically, the mean angle of incidence of a 60 kA, 7 MeV annular electron-beam at the beam stop of the MABE accelerator and the transverse beam temperature are determined. The angle is extracted by comparing dose profiles measured downstream of the stop with that expected from a simulation of the electron/photon transport in the stop. By calculating and removing the effect on the trajectories due to the change in electric field near the stop, the beam temperature is determined. Such measurements help give insight to beam generation and propagation within the accelerator.
