Abstract

A wire scanner designed to measure the spatial characteristics of beams of relativistic and nonrelativistic charged particles, as well as beams of X-ray and gamma radiation, is proposed. The scanner contains several wires of different materials located along the beam axis and capable of moving across the beam. During scanning, characteristic X-ray radiation is generated in the wires under the action of the beam, the spectra of which are recorded by an energy-dispersive X-ray detector. Determination of the transverse profiles of the studied beam consists in measuring the radiation-intensity dependence on the impact parameter of the wires. Matching of the obtained profiles with specific wires is performed according to the energy of characteristic X-ray radiation. The data obtained during scanning allows determination of the transverse dimensions, shape, trajectory, divergence and emittance of the beam.
