Particle accelerators with high intensity beams require non-interceptive diagnostics because any interceptive tools can be damaged or can perturb the beam during measurements. At CEA Saclay, tomography is incorporated with non-destructive and non-interceptive beam-induced fluorescence profiler, to produce a 2D reconstruction of the transverse spatial distribution of the beam from the Source d’Ions Légers de Haute Intensité (SILHI). Six cameras, positioned at six different directions around the beam, were aligned with respect to the beam axis and were installed to obtain the image of the emitted light due to the beam-residual gas interaction. At present, due to software limitations, profile measurements from each camera cannot be done simultaneously. Instead, there is a one-second interval on measurements from one camera to another. This makes a total of about ten seconds to obtain the profiles and to reconstruct the 2D spatial beam distribution.
