Abstract
Measurements of longitudinal beam profile in non-relativistic hadron accelerators are usually performed with Bunch Shape Monitors that utilize secondary electron emission to reproduce the shape of a primary ion beam. The existing devices, however, have poor electron collection efficiency from the wire and are limited to one dimensional measurements of the phase coordinate. In this paper we present the performance improvements for a bunch shape monitor for proton beams used in the Spallation Neutron Source accelerator. These improvements were achieved by adding focusing optics between the wire and the entrance slit, which will also allow measurements over a much higher dynamic range. Here we present the design, simulation and experimental test results of the developed new electron beam guidance system for the existing SNS bunch shape monitor that allowed significant improvement in the collection efficiency.
