Implementation of a Compact Magnetic Electron Energy Spectrometer for Intense Relativistic Electron Beams
Abstract
A diagnostic used for measuring the energy of 1 to 5 MEV pulsed electron beams by means independent of the beam generating device is investigated. The method employed is capable of collecting the required data optically in a single pulse. The beam energy is measured using a magnetic electron spectrometer coupled with a scintillating material. Using a polaroid camera to collect data, the energy of electron beams from two field emission diode accelerators is measured. The first is a nominal 1 MEV, 16 kA, 25 ns FWHM electron beam and the second is a nominal 5 MEV, 20 kA, 50 ns FWHM electron beam. A detailed study of measurement accuracy and possible sources of error was accomplished.
