A Non-invasive beam size diagnostic for ARIA
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
Presentation slides Diagnostics for ARIA should include noninvasive measurements of beam size for tuning to optimum radiographic performance; The beam size can be measured non- invasively using a diamagnetic loop; Diamagnetic loop theory is well developed, and experiments have been successful; The single major problem encountered in making these measurements on LIAs has been location; A dedicated station for these measurements on ARIA can be easily inserted into either of the DARHT accelerator beam lines for testing; Diagnostic sensitivity depends on dimensions and bias field strength; The ARIA design would provide high-amplitude signals for accurate beam size measurements; The details of loop construction is important to achieve balanced signal output immune to commonmode backgrounds; and Techniques for testing and calibrating diamagnetic loops were developed more than 15 years ago for DARHT diagnostics.
