Multiangle scanning for measuring radiation beam profiles with a typical size of 10 millimetres — Proof-of-principle experiments

Abstract

In this research, a method for acquiring radiation beam profiles was developed. Multiple linear beam scanning using a detection strip was performed in a beam cross section at different angles. The obtained data were then mathematically processed and transformed into the radiation beam profile. The profiles of X-ray and electron beams were obtained experimentally using the proposed method, and are reported herein.

Measurement of the electron beam profile by the multiangle scanning method

“…The multiangle beam scanning method experimental setup is shown in figure 1. To facilitate translational and rotational motion in the beams' transverse plane, we decided to use the Standa Motorized Translation Stages linear translator [12] (No. 5 in figure 1) and the Standa Motorized Rotation Stage motorized rotary platform [13] (No.…”

“…The proposed method was experimentally successfully applied to the carbon ion beam transversal profile determining [11]. The study [12] presents the X-Ray and electron beam profile determining process. These researches describe the experimental results obtained by developed device based on multiangle scanning method using the scintillation strip, which was made manually from a piece of a…”
