Abstract
This paper describes an instrument for displaying intensity profiles of charged-particle beams that emerge from high-energy accelerators. The intensity vs position on a strip of 21 scintillation counters each 1 by 1 cm appears as a histogram on an oscilloscope. The display is accomplished by employing transistor circuits to amplify and integrate the outputs of the multiplier phototubes. The accumulated charge associated with each counter element is then read out in sequence by means of a blocking-oscillator commutator. The output signal is further amplified logarithmically for oscilloscope deflection.
