Wide Dynamic Range Beam Profile Monitor

Beam Intensity Profile Monitor

This paper describes an intercepting beam intenSity profile and position monitor which was developed at SLAC. It has excellent spatial resolution as well as signal efficiency. The instrument utilizes the electromagnetic cascade shower emission effect. Net charge leakage signals comparable in magnitude to the intercepted beam current are easily obtainable. The latest model of the instrument is d...

Scanning Electron Beam Profile Monitor

A scanning beam profile monitor is described that was developed for use along the Stanford two-mile linear accelerator. The maximum beam loss due to scattering caused by this monitor can be made to be a small fraction of that which would be caused by a Cerenkov radiator or scintillating screen.

Wide-dynamic-range sensors

Orly Yadid-Pecht, MEMBER SPIE Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Electrical and Computer Engineering Department P.O. Box 653 Beer-Sheva 84105 Israel E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The work done to provide image sensors (CCDs and CMOS) with a wide dynamic range is reviewed. The different classes of solutions, which consist of logarithmic sensors, ‘‘clipped’’ sensors, multimode sensors, frequ...

Wide dynamic range imaging

Interest in technologies that can help improve image sensors—in terms of cost, noise and dynamic range—is growing as quickly as the market for them. Dynamic range (DR) quantifies the ability of a sensor to image highlights and shadows. If we define the dynamic range of the sensor as 20 log(S/N), where S is the maximal signal value and N is the sensor noise, the typical image sensors will have a...
