  1. Optical Transition Radiation Beam profile measurements with Klara Insulander Björk, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden

  2. Outline • Beam diagnostics? • Physical principle • Mathematical description • Beam profile measurement • The BIBLE • Summary

  3. Beam diagnostics? • You need to know stuff about your beam: - If it is there at all - Where it is - What size and shape it has - How it evolves in time - Its energy, etcetera… • Measurements using Optical Transition Radiation (OTR) involve letting the beam pass through a foil ► It is mostly used for profile measurements

  4. Physical principle • A charged particle moves through vacuum with its accompanying Coulomb field • It hits a foil of a medium having a different dielectric constant • The Coulomb field adapts to the new medium • The difference in fields is emitted as transition radiation

  5. The actual angular intensity distribution becomes: Mathematical description The angular intensity distribution is given by:

  6. OTR is fast – resolution better than picosecond • Use a streak camera to get the longitudinal beam profile (bunch length and spacing) • Converts time variation into space variation Beam profile measurement • Put the camera in the image plane of the optical system to get a geometrical image of the beam • Information on transverse beam profile (beam size and shape)

  7. The BIBLE • The acronym (of course) stands for Beam Instrumentation BookLEt, a pocket sized document for beam instrumentation users • My work – the chapter on OTR • The same information is also available as a webpage • Calculation of important parameters can be done with a Matlab program

  8. Summary • You need to know stuff about your beam • Let it pass through a foil and you get OTR • Look at the angular distribution to get info on energy and divergence • Look directly at the image of the beam to get information on beam size, shape and position • Use a streak camera to get information on bunch length and spacing • Read the BIBLE in case you forget what I just told you Questions?
