A beam halo region of an electron beam at a linear accelerator might hit the undulator magnets and degrade undulator permanent magnets. An interlock sensor is indispensable to protect the magnets against radiation damage. We have been developing an electron beam halo monitor using diamond detectors for an interlock sensor at the X-ray free electron laser facility at SPring-8 (XFEL/SPring-8). The diamond detectors are operated in photoconductive mode. Pulse-by-pulse measurements are adopted to suppress the background noise efficiently. The feasibility tests of this monitor have been performed at the SPring-8 compact SASE source (SCSS) test accelerator for XFEL/SPring-8, and the results will be summarized. |
