For beam position monitoring purposes, particle-in-cell simulations were applied to investigate pickup button and electron beam spectrum characteristics. Results on this simulative approach are presented. Particularly, a comparison is made between simulation results from the PIC solver of CST’s PARTICLE STUDIO and experimental data gathered with a 6 MeV electron beam from a linear accelerator for medical purposes. The measurements were conducted under non-vacuum conditions. Good agreement between simulation and experimental data was achieved although non-negligible electron spread during air passage of the electron beam can be assumed. |
