研究実績の概要 |
During JFY2016, fabrication and testing of a first prototype optical system for a non-destructive Beam Induced Florescence proton beam profile monitor was successfully carried out. This system uses an MCP gated image intensifier coupled to a CID camera as a radiation-hard, high-resolution light detection system.
The light transport efficiency, resolution, and gain of the prototype optical system were measured and were found to approximately match expectations. Radiation-hardness testing of various components of the system has also begun - with shielding, so far no significant radiation-induced signal has been found coming from any component of the prototype optical system. Early design work for a camera readout system suitable for integration into the data-acquisition system currently in use for other monitors was also started.
