Abstract
After a successful demonstration of a non-intercepting beam profile monitor for the H- beams at the 750 KeV and the 200 MeV LINAC at Brookhaven National Laboratory, the SNS project approved using a Nd:YAG laser rather than the traditional carbon wire for transverse profile monitors in the SNS super-conducting LINAC. Experiments have also been performed on SNS 2.5 MeV medium energy beam transport line at LBNL. The design and the implementation of a multi-station profile monitoring system using a single laser will be presented. The laser beam is scanned across the H- beam to photoneutralize narrow slices. The liberated electrons are collected to provide a measurement of the transverse beam profile. The prototype system has been tested; the measurement and performance results will be presented.
