Title: Transverse Beam Profile Measurement Using Scrape Scans

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/984568· OSTI ID:984568

A scraper scan - sending a scraper through a particle beam while measuring the intensity as a function of scraper position - is a common method of determining the profile of the beam. At first glance, this seems to be a rather simple procedure. Nevertheless, some care is required in the acquisition of the data and in the analysis if one is going to achieve an accurate result.
