  Injection efficiency, beam optic matching and emittance preservation are very important parameters in achieving a high luminosity in large proton accelerators. We improved the analysing system of the phosphor screen readout of the proton transport lines in the accelerator chain of HERA with respect to the parameters above. The screens are read out by simple CCD video cameras. The signals are stored in local frame grabbers. An analogue output of the stored image is multiplexed and read-out by a fast PCI frame grabber card in a PC. The beam orbit and the beam emittance can be measured from each screen. A Visual Basic program is used to displays the trajectory and the envelope of the beam from a single transfer. The same program helps to drive bumps to achieve a proper steering through the line. The beam width can be measured from selected screens to calculate the emittance and other beam parameters including their errors. The read out and analysing system will be described and measurements will be shown.

  Transition radiation (TR) is nowadays intensively exploited by a number of techniques to characterize different beam parameters. These methods are based, sometimes implicitly, on standard formulae, and used often without paying due attention to their applicability. In particular, standard expressions are only first-order asymptotic, i.e., strictly speaking, valid at infinity. In this paper TR is examined in a spatial domain where conventional results are no more exact and variations in radiation properties are observed. Under certain conditions, for example, at long wavelengths or very high energies the effect is so considerable that should be taken into account in accurate beam measurements.
