Screen based instruments are commonly used in particle accelerators for beam steering, observation and size measurements. After a short introduction to this type of instrumentation deployed all along the accelerator chain at CERN, the presentation will focus on the experimental beam tests recently done on new type of screens made of nanotube material: CNT and BNNT. This was performed on the...

Because of the increased radioactivity in LSS2 (SPS slow extraction towards north area), new low-Z materials were studied for use in electrostatic septa. Carbon Nano Tubes wire (CNT) was the first candidate to be studied. A test facility was built to assess the behaviour of the CNT wires in high field conditions.

6. Use of CNT fibers for the beam instrumentation with wire-scanners

Wire-scanners are instruments frequently used in particle accelerators for the measurement of the transverse profile. The challenge of increasing brightness necessitates innovative solutions. Carbon fibers currently used will not respond to the new boundaries of future projects. Carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers could offer new materials with these materials in wire-scanner construction enhances...
