AN IMAGE INTENSIFIER-SCINTILLATOR DEVICE FOR DETERMINATION OF PROFILES AND IMAGES OF WEAK BEAMS OF IONIZING PARTICLES OR QUANTA

Abstract

An instrument for determining the shape and intensity distribution of particle and x-ray beams was developed using an image intensifier tube together with a bundle of filaments of scintillator. A description of the use of such a device in high energy, low intensity, secondary meson and proton beams is given. It is shown that the sensitivity of this instrument represents a significant improvement over alternative techniques. (Author)
