Laser-wire (LW) beam profile monitors will be very important beam diagnostic instruments for future very high energy/intensity particle accelerators to replace the use of traditional profiling techniques such as wire scanners or screens. LWs can be employed in synchrotron light sources, linear electron-positron colliders, and most recently H− ion accelerators.
The PETRA-III LW, a Compton...

We started to explore the possibility of using surface waves traveling along a single wire, a so called Goubau line, for improved bench testing of beam instrumentation. Since the electromagnetic fields resemble closely the fields of a particle beam, bench testing would become a lot more realistic using such a setup. Our calculations are promising and soon we will build a first prototype.

The Longitudinal Density Monitor (LDM) is primarily intended for the measurement of the particle population in nominally empty RF buckets. These so-called satellite or ghost bunches can cause problems for machine protection as well as influencing the luminosity calibration of the LHC. The high dynamic range of the system allows measurement of ghost bunches with as little as 0.01% of the main...

A new beam loss monitor, based on scintillating fibers and Silicon PhotoMultipliers, was recently developed by Microsensor Srl in collaboration with INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Sud. Such a device, named micro-BLM, is capable of detecting ionizing radiation by means of scintillation light produced into a thin plastic scintillating fiber, which is then detected by a couple of SiPM placed at...

The advance in laser plasma acceleration techniques pushes the regime of the resulting accelerated particles to higher energies and intensities. In particular the upcoming experiments with the FLAME laser at LNF will enter the GeV regime with more than 100pC of electrons.

Low energy beams are very important for many existing and future accelerator projects, but require development of new diagnostic methods as most of the standard high-energy techniques no longer work. The future facility for low-energy antiproton and ion research (FLAIR) is an example of an accelerator complex providing such diagnostically challenging beams. Its central machine, the ultra-low...

Hadron therapy has proven to be a very sophisticated and precise technique in cancer treatment. A particular advantage of hadron therapy is the precise dose distribution, which can be limited exactly to the tumour volume, thus decreasing the dose in the organs at risk.

A beam profile monitoring system based on the imaging of low energy electrons created when the ion beam impinges on a metal plate was built to cover the wide range of beam intensities and energies for the DESIREE (Double ElectroStatic Ion Ring ExpEriment) beam line diagnostics [1].

A sophisticated beam loss monitoring system will be of crucial importance for any future high energy lepton accelerator, such as the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). Depending on the position in the machine, different detector technologies should be applied to fulfil the requirements in terms of the spatial and time resolution, dynamic range and radiation hardness of the device.

Slow extraction of particles out of a synchrotron is important for many applications in accelerator facilities, e.g. for ion therapy. It is desirable to keep the intensity at the beam-target as good as possible on a predefined level.
In the synchrotron of the Heidelberg Ion Therapy-Centre (HIT) transverse RF-knockout extraction is used to support the raster-scanning method for high-precision...

We have developed a new method to image a charged particle beam with a high dynamic range. This method employs any optical radiation which is linearly proportional to the beam charge density, e.g. OTR, OSR, phosphor light, etc. and a spatial filter created with a digital micro-mirror device. We have used this method to image the halo of the 10 KeV electron beam at the University of Maryland...

There exists considerable interest in studying new types of non-invasive bunch length diagnostics for sub-picosecond bunches. In this context coherent Smith-Purcell radiation (CSPR) is a good candidate because the use of grating causes wavelength dispersive radiation emission, i.e. a CSPR based monitor does not require any additional spectrometer.
In contrast to existing CSPR monitors a new...
