Luminescent screens are widely used for particle beam diagnostics, especially in transverse profile measurements at hadron machines and low energy electron machines where the intensity of optical transition radiation (OTR) is rather low. The experience from modern linac based light sources showed that OTR diagnostics might fail even for high energetic electron beams because of coherence effects in the OTR emission process. An alternative way to overcome this limitation is to use luminescent screens, especially inorganic scintillators. However, there is only little information about scintillator properties for applications with high energetic electrons. Therefore a test experiment has been performed at the 855 MeV beam of the Mainz Microtron MAMI (University of Mainz, Germany) in order to study the spatial resolution. The results of this experiment will be presented and discussed in view of scintillator material properties and observation geometry. |
