Design and operation of the AGS Booster Ionization Profile Monitor
The AGS Booster Ionization Profile Monitor (IPM) must operate in a vacuum of about 3 {times} 10{sup {minus}11} Torr. The ultra-high vacuum imposes certain requirements on detector gain and restrictions on construction techniques. Each detector is a two-stage micro-channel plate with an integral substrate containing sixty-four printed anodes. Formed electrodes provide uniform collection fields without the use of resistors, which would be unacceptable in these vacuum conditions. An ultra-violet light calibrates the detector in its permanent mounting. An extra set of electrodes performs a first order correction to the perturbations imposed by the horizontal and vertical collection electrodes. This paper will present details of the design of the profile monitor and recent operational results. 4 refs., 6 figs.
