Abstract :
One of the simplest applications of optical transition radiation (OTR) to accelerator beam diagnostics is beam profiling. We compare the limits of resolution of beam profiles made using OTR and profiles made using synchrotron radiation. We will discuss the physical basis for the limiting resolution in each case and show that the case of OTR yields essentially the same result as standard diffraction theory
