Title: Cherenkov Light-based Beam Profiling for Ultrarelativistic Electron Beams

Abstract

We describe a beam profile monitor design based on Cherenkov light emitted from a charged particle beam in an air gap. The main components of the profile monitor are silicon wafers used to reflect Cherenkov light onto a camera lens system. The design allows for measuring large beam sizes, with large photon yield per beam charge and excellent signal linearity with beam charge. Furthermore, the profile monitor signal is independent of the particle energy for ultrarelativistic particles. Different design and parameter considerations are discussed. A Cherenkov light-based profile monitor has been installed at the FACET User Facility at SLAC. Finally, we report on the measured performance of this profile monitor.

Optical cone beam tomography of Cherenkov-mediated signals for fast 3D dosimetry of x-ray photon beams in water

Journal Article Glaser, Adam K., E-mail: Adam.K.Glaser@dartmouth.edu, E-mail: Brian.W.Pogue@dartmouth.edu ; Andreozzi, Jacqueline M. ; Zhang, Rongxiao ; ... - Medical Physics

Purpose: To test the use of a three-dimensional (3D) optical cone beam computed tomography reconstruction algorithm, for estimation of the imparted 3D dose distribution from megavoltage photon beams in a water tank for quality assurance, by imaging the induced Cherenkov-excited fluorescence (CEF). Methods: An intensified charge-coupled device coupled to a standard nontelecentric camera lens was used to tomographically acquire two-dimensional (2D) projection images of CEF from a complex multileaf collimator (MLC) shaped 6 MV linear accelerator x-ray photon beam operating at a dose rate of 600 MU/min. The resulting projections were used to reconstruct the 3D CEF light distribution, amore »« less

SU-E-CAMPUS-T-04: Measurement of Proton Pencil Beam Spot Profile Using Cherenkov Radiation in Two Dimensional Optical Fiber Arrays

Journal Article Kim, M ; SHIN, D ; Park, J ; ... - Medical Physics

Purpose: Proton therapy aims to deliver a high dose in a well-defined target volume while sparing the healthy surrounding tissues thanks to their inherent depth dose characteristic (Bragg peak). In proton therapy, several techniques can be used to deliver the dose into the target volume. The one that allows the best conformity with the tumor, is called PBS (Pencil Beam Scanning). The measurement of the proton pencil beam spot profile (spot size) and position is very important for the accurate delivery of dose to the target volume with a good conformity. Methods: We have developed a fine segmented detector arraymore »« less

Robust Wire Scanner for High Intensity Beam Profile Diagnostics

Technical Report Andonian, Gerard

High energy accelerator facilities require the precise and accurate characterization of beam profiles for daily operations. Wire scanners are robust devices used for transverse beam measurements in high power beams. In a traditional wire scanner, a thin, conductive wire is rapidly passed across the beam path, with a downstream detector monitoring the change in beam transmission, or loss, allowing for a direct mapping of the beam transverse charge density profile. While very effective, wire scanners prolonged usage with intense particle beams leads to wire damage, requiring replacement and often costly beam diagnostic downtime.
