Most of the charged particle beam shapes do not possess symmetry. In such cases, diagnostic measurement obtained in one direction is not enough to reconstruct the spatial distribution of the beam. The use of intense beams which demands for non-interceptive diagnostic devices posed another challenge in measuring the beam’s spatial distribution. At CEA Saclay and within the DITANET framework, the use of tomography combined with optical diagnostics to develop a non-interceptive transverse profile monitor is under development. This profile monitor is presently tested on the BETSI test bench. In this contribution, a tomography algorithm suited for beam profile measurements is presented. This algorithm is based on the formulation of iterative Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART) problem and the Maximum-Likelihood Expectation Maximization (MLEM) for the iteration step. The algorithm is optimized within the limit of using 6 projections only. Several beam shapes are generated and then reconstructed computationally. Actual measurements in the BETSI test bench are also done to verify the tomographic reconstruction process.
