Abstract

A method for determining the spatial structure of a high-power relativistic electron beam is described. Using an absolutely calibrated CCD collector, the thermal-radiation brightness distribution of the beam-collector surface is registered in the visible and near-IR spectral regions and then converted into a spatial distribution of the beam energy deposition in a target. This method is applied at a high specific beam-energy flux (∼1 kJ/cm2), one which causes noticeable erosion of the beam collector.
