Sub-10μm transverse beam profile resolution is attainable due to fiber optic core concentricity. Adequate SNR is achieved using a standard CCD sensor. A fiber optic taper input maximizes light collection efficiency by coupling each output channel to approximately single-pixel pitch. A v-groove holder and assembly process was developed to hold many fiber layers in the desired configuration. In this paper, we present results from a fully functional FMD prototype evaluated at the BNL ATF facility that demonstrates the efficacy of this diagnostic.

The fiber-mesh diagnostic (FMD) is a transverse beam profile diagnostic based on the emission and detection of Cherenkov radiation produced as a relativistic electron beam traverses through an ordered bundle of fiber optics (SiO2), arranged in a hexagonal close-pack configuration. Sub-10μm transverse beam profile resolution is attainable due to fiber optic core concentricity. Adequate SNR is achieved using a standard CCD sensor. A fiber optic taper input maximizes light collection efficiency by coupling each output channel to approximately single-pixel pitch. A v-groove holder and assembly process was developed to hold many fiber layers in the desired configuration. In this paper, we present results from a fully functional FMD prototype evaluated at the BNL ATF facility that demonstrates the efficacy of this diagnostic.
