Evaluation of Beam Diagnostic Techniques.

Abstract

Two new diagnostic techniques were considered for use with intense electron beams. They were Compton scattering and Cereknov radiation. Only the latter was evaluated on the Gamble I facility; at a fluence level of about 100 cal/cm squared it was found that a 0.004 inch thick fused silica radiator gave an optical signal which was directly proportional to the beam current. It also appears that a thinner radiator could be used to time resolve the beam energy, current, and average angle of incidence.
