1 1 Nondestructive Measurement of Charged Particles Kensuke Homma / Kazuhiro Hosokawa Hiroshima University 1. A novel principle of charged particle sensing 2. Verification of the detection principle in a static condition 3. Future prospects

2 2 Principle of charged particle detection  Conventional principle developed so far utilizes local inelastic processes such as ionizations and excitations with the typical energy loss above 1eV.  Can we use a quasi elastic process such as macroscopic polarizations with an extremely small energy loss? It opens up a novel charged particle sensing without changing velocities of charged particles.  Is the macroscopic polarization detectable by visible rays? Crystals with the Electro-Optical property combined with the laser readout are suitable for the purpose.

Narrowing the wire width makes diffraction pattern extend more outside. Diffraction pattern keeps vector information on the projection. Gaussian profile

11 11 Summary The novel remote sensing technique with laser diffraction readout was qualitatively verified at a static condition. In ideal case, even remote sensing of non-relativistic single electron is possible with cooled DKDP crystal and the test experiment is on going. If single charged particle is detectable, it would open up many applications like; end-point determination in beta decays with the nondestructive ToF measurement, mass spectroscopy of ionized protein beam and so on.

In such a case, energy loss would be expressed as E loss ~0.8x10 -7 eV for  1, K~10 3 and R~1  m.
