Residual gas ionization profile monitors (RGIPMs) working in 1 Pa pressure have been developed for high-intensity proton beam (maximum: 50GeV-15uA) at J-PARC slow-extraction beam line. The transverse beam profiles are measured by collecting electrons produced by ionization of 1 Pa residual gas. The electrons are guided to the segmented electrode with a uniform electrostatic field applied in the gap. A uniform magnetic field is applied parallel to the electric field to reduce diffusion of electrons travelling to the electrodes. Typical spatial resolution of the RGIPMs with a 10 cm gap, a 10 V/cm electrostatic field, and a 400 gauss magnetic field at center is 0.5 mm. The collected charge is integrated during every extraction period (typically 2 second in 6 second accelerator cycle). Subtracting background distributions measured during off-beam period, profile distributions are measured clearly. The 14 RGIPMs installed in the slow-extraction beam line are working stably for the 30 GeV-0.46 uA proton beam at current maximum. In this contribution, detailed specifications and performance of the present RGIPMs will be reported. | ||
