Synchrotron Radiation FCC would produce lots of visible synchrotron light at all energies, even with protons At top energy, plenty of x-rays too Synchrotron Radiation spectra for protons in FCC dipoles 7

Synchrotron Radiation Reduce diffraction by moving to shorter wavelengths Many techniques from synchrotron light sources available Pinhole CameraFresnel Zone Plate Compound Refractive Lens 8

Synchrotron Radiation Need to separate SR from particle beam Large bending radius means long distance (>100m) dipole beam SR fan SR monitor 9

Gas Ionisation & Fluorescence Background due to ionisation / excitation by synchrotron radiation Space charge effects distort profile measurement Need strong magnet to constrain ions Fast measurement if additional gas injected Space charge not a problem if neutral excited line chosen ‘Simple’ installation Smaller cross-section Higher pressure or long integration Thanks to P. Forck, GSI Ionisation Profile MonitorBeam Fluorescence Monitor 11

Gas Curtain Injection of a curtain-like gas jet through the beam pipe allows beam cross-section to be imaged Pressure is locally much higher -> stronger, faster signal Jet can be collected on opposite side of beam pipe – relatively little leakage to vacuum system. Gas jet should be collimated, homogeneous and as thin as possible. Details in next talk! 12

Beam Gas Vertexing New technique based on inelastic scattering between beam and rest gas Several tracks are reconstructed for each event & vertex is located Vertices are collected over many turns to image beam Thanks to P. Hopchev, CERN Scintillating-fiber detectors Reduced aperture Thin end wall Gas volume 13

Laser-wire Scanner L. Nevay, RHUL Scan laser beam and detect high-energy photons from inverse Compton scattering Proven method for measurement of very small electron beams Proton cross-section is 6 orders of magnitude smaller Need to separate photons from beam and distinguish from SR Could detect decelerated electrons instead 15

W. Blokland, ORNL Electron-Beam Scanner The ‘probe’ beam of electrons is deflected by the E-field of the main beam. The deflection depends on where the probe beam passes through the main beam. Using a diagonal curtain of electrons allows the profile to be measured in a single shot. Has been demonstrated for (quasi-)DC beams – analysis more complicated with short bunches. 16 Accelerator beam Probe beam

Gas Jet Scanner ‘Atomic Sieve’ to focus neutral gas jet based on de Broglie wavelength Now being tested at Cockcroft Institute Generate a thin pencil jet and scan it through the beam Like a wire scanner but non-interceptive Readout by ion counting, fluorescence, bremsstrahlung, or beam losses Not affected by space charge as position given by gas jet Need a way to generate a thin jet… 17

Profile measurements at future energy- frontier machines will be challenging due to high intensity & small beam size. Exotic animals like electron lenses need unique solutions. Existing non-invasive techniques will be useful but cannot answer all the challenges – Synchrotron radiation difficult with v. large radius – Beam-gas ionisation limited by space charge Novel techniques such as beam gas vertexing and the gas jet scanner are promising, and will be tested soon at CERN and the Cockcroft Institute respectively.
