Abstract

Beam monitors utilizing electromagnetic waves, especially visible light radiated by charged particles, have several excellent features for beam diagnostics in accelerators: they are essentially free from environmental electromagnetic noise and are characterized by a high-speed time response. A beam monitor based on transition radiation is one of the most promising monitors concerning positions, sizes, emittance, energy and time structures of bunches for high-intensity, short-pulse beams. We started to develop beam monitors utilizing transition radiation for the beam diagnostics of high-intensity electron beams. Bunch-length measurements were performed at the KEK 2.5-GeV linac with this monitor and a streak-camera system
