In APS-U charges of up to 17 nC per micropulse are specified with a beam geometrical horizontal emittance of 60 nm rad. Vertical beam sizes at the imaging station of ~80 µm (σ) are expected so system resolutions of <30 µm are warranted. A phased approach to enhance the imaging station performance has been initiated. Recently, the 20-year-old Chromox screen oriented at 45 degrees to the beam was replaced by a 100-micron thick YAG:Ce screen which gave an improved screen resolution of <10 micron(σ. However, the optical magnification of the system still needs to be increased. In addition, the high areal charge densities are expected to exceed the scintillator mechanism’s saturation threshold so an optical transition radiation (OTR) screen will be added to the station for high-charge studies. A final phase would be the use of optical diffraction radiation (ODR) as a non-intercepting, beam-size monitor during top-up injections.}, }
