A bunch extension monitor for the SPIRAL2 LINAC
Résumé
Measurements of the bunch longitudinal shape of beam
particles are crucial for optimization and control of
LINAC beam parameters and maximization of its
integrated luminosity. The non-interceptive bunch
extension monitor for the LINAC of SPIRAL2 facility is
being developed at GANIL. Five bunch extension
monitors will be installed at the beginning of the LINAC
between superconducting cavities. The principle of
operation is based on the registration of x-rays induced by
ions of accelerator beam interacting with a thin tungsten
wire positioned on the beam path. The monitor consists of
two parts: a system for wire insertion and positioning, and
an x-ray detector based on microchannel plates (MCP). A
detector prototype has been developed for three years and
was tested using protons and heavy ions beams. The
influence of the cryomodule operation on the diagnostic
measurement was also studied.
