Title Of Article :
Geant4 Simulation of Silicon Screen in OTR Systems
Abstract :
Optical Transition Radiation (OTR) is used for beam profile measurements in accelerator facilities. In OTR systems generally aluminum and gold are used as view screens. In this work, the simulation studies were carried out on usability of Silicon (Si) material as view screens in OTR systems. The simulations studies were carried out with two different electron beam energies of 18.5 MeV and 38.5 MeV on aluminum, lead, titanium, copper, silver, gold and silicon based view screen materials. It can be seen from the simulation results that silicon based view screens will be a good candidate as view screen in OTR systems.
