| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Optical transition radiation (OTR) has often been used for beam profile monitoring for electron linacs. Recently, however, it has been found that OTR becomes coherent and thus cannot be used as a profile monitor when the beam bunch is short, for linacs dedicated to X-ray free electron laser operation. To avoid this coherence, shorter wavelength photons are required, and thus we propose to exploit parametric X-ray radiation (PXR).
In this study, the following results were accomplished: (i) We developed a beam profile monitor employing a Fresnel zone plate (FZP) to focus PXR onto an X-ray detector. (ii) We evaluated the contributions of diffracted transition radiation (DTR) and diffracted bremsstrahlung (DB). (iii) PXR angular distributions generated by a diamond crystal were measured using the 255-MeV electron beam at the SAGA-LS linac, which are in good agreement with theory. (iv) We proposed a new beam diagnostic method using DTR for the International Linear Collider.
