| TUPB10 | Beam Profile Monitoring at COSY via Light Emitted by Residual Gas | 185 |
|
||
Scintillation is one of the outcomes of beam interaction with residual gas. This process is utilized for non-destructive beam profile monitoring. Test bench measurements at various gas compositions and pressures as well as ones with the circulating proton beam at COSY-Juelich were performed. This was done using a single large photocathode PMT to estimate the photon yield. A multichannel photomultiplier was used along with a lens system to monitor the ion beam profile. Experimental results are presented and the challenges of the approach are discussed. |

| TUPB12 | Beam Test of the FAIR IPM Prototype in COSY | 191 |

The advanced ionization beam profile monitor is being developed at GSI for the future FAIR facility in collaboration with ITEP and FZ-Jülich. In January 2009 the IPM prototype was installed in COSY-Jülich. After successful hardware test the beam tests followed. The prototype was operated without magnetic field, thus only residual gas ions were detected. An arrangement consisting of an MCP stack, a phosphor screen, and a CCD camera was used to detect ions. We report the first profile measurements of the proton beam up to 2.8 GeV at COSY. |
