Abstract

As the high-brightness electron beams become denser and reach sub-100 μm sizes, a resolution of the transverse profile diagnostics become an important issue. The applicability of the traditional scintillators as the diagnostics for most generic transverse properties of small dense beams is questionable. Recently, a YAG:Ce single crystal was used successfully, but studies indicated the presence of saturation effects. At BNL-ATF (Accelerator Test Facility) we have generated ultra-small beams, and continued an experimental work to further illuminate the nature of YAG:Ce saturation. We have also evaluated alternative diagnostics, such as LuAG:Ce. Imaging properties of various diagnostics were studied, including measurements of emission spectra.
