	The long range plan for Fermilab calls for large proton beam intensities in excess of 2 MW for use in the neutrino program. Measuring the transverse profiles of these high intensity beams is challenging and generally relies on non-invasive techniques. One such technique involves measuring the deflection of a beam of electrons with a trajectory perpendicular to the proton beam. A device such as this is already in use at the Spallation Neutron Source at ORNL and a similar device will be installed shortly in the Fermilab Main Injector. The Main Injector device is discussed in detail and some test results and simulations are shown.

	Funding: ORNL/SNS is managed by UT-Battelle, LLC, for the U.S. Department of Energy under contract DE-AC05-00OR22725 The Target Imaging System (TIS) shows the size and position of the proton beam by using a luminescent Cr:Al2O3 coating on the SNS target. The proton beam hitting the coating creates light which is transferred through mirrors and optical fibers to a digital camera outside the high radiation area. The TIS is used during operations to verify that the beam is in the right location and does not exceed the maximum proton beam peak density. This paper describes our operational experience with the TIS and the results of studies on the linearity, uniformity, and luminescence decay of the coating. In the future, tubes with material samples might be placed in front of the target for irradiation studies. The simulations of placing tubes in the front of target coating and its effect on the beam width and position measurements are also discussed.

The long range plan for Fermilab calls for large proton beam intensities in excess of 2 MW for use in the neutrino program. Measuring the transverse profiles of these high intensity beams is challenging and generally relies on non-invasive techniques. One such technique involves measuring the deflection of a beam of electrons with a trajectory perpendicular to the proton beam. A device such as this is already in use at the Spallation Neutron Source at ORNL and a similar device will be installed shortly in the Fermilab Main Injector. The Main Injector device is discussed in detail and some test results and simulations are shown.

The Target Imaging System (TIS) shows the size and position of the proton beam by using a luminescent Cr:Al2O3 coating on the SNS target. The proton beam hitting the coating creates light which is transferred through mirrors and optical fibers to a digital camera outside the high radiation area. The TIS is used during operations to verify that the beam is in the right location and does not exceed the maximum proton beam peak density. This paper describes our operational experience with the TIS and the results of studies on the linearity, uniformity, and luminescence decay of the coating. In the future, tubes with material samples might be placed in front of the target for irradiation studies. The simulations of placing tubes in the front of target coating and its effect on the beam width and position measurements are also discussed.
