Abstract:
A method for profile measurements of small transverse size beams by means of a vibrating wire is proposed. The main idea is to use the vibrating wire motion during its oscillations as a scanning mechanism and synchronously measure the scattered/reflected particles/photons created through the interactions of the measured beam with the wire. The method is expected to be applicable for thin beams in particle accelerators. The proof-of-principle test results, obtained using a laser beam, are presented.

Beams
Based on geometry, beams can be straight, tapered, or curved. Straight beams are the most common type and have a constant cross-section throughout their length. Tapered beams, on the other hand, have a varying cross-section along...
