The article describes a method to measure the electron beam cross section. This method is based on the registration of Cherenkov radiation intensity generated in a dielectric fiber during the interaction with fast electrons. A section of fiber optic cable serves as a detecting unit. The fiber is placed parallel to the direction, in which the electron beam propagates. The spatial distribution of the beam intensity is measured by means of the line-by-line fiber scanning of the beam in the plane being measured. Light photons are generated in the fiber and propagate along it, reaching the photomultiplier, which is used to record the photon intensity. The quantity of the electrons caught in the fiber is in direct proportion to the Cherenkov radiation intensity. This makes it possible to measure the beam cross section by the dependence of the photomultiplier output signal on the fiber location. Finally, the article describes a proof-of-principle experiment for this method carried out for a 5.7 MeV microtron electron beam and the obtained results.

Abstract.The article presents the device destined for flux density distribution of electrons in the beam cross section without consumables, with a resolution of about 1 mm and slightly dependent on the electron energy. The possibility of the cross section reconstruction of the electron flux density distribution by the inverse Radon transformation is shown. The results of mathematical reconstruction are illustrated and upon which the projections optimum quantity are specified. In the paper the experimental set up developed based on proposed method is introduced. The results of the experimental tests of the scanning device functionability are presented.

In this research the electron beam traverse profiles beam before and after the application of the developed filter element was calculated and experimentally obtained. The article presents the calculated parameters of the unit form and geometrical dimension, forming the determined electron beam profile, and the physical configuration of the filter produced by 3D print method. The electron beam field distributions before and after filtration obtained with the help of GAFCHROMIC EBT2 radiographic films are illustrated. The calculation method of the filter actual density determination is presented. In the paper the comparison results of the electron beam experimental and calculated profiles are shown
