TUPC098 | Beam Profile Measurement using Flying Wire Monitors at the J-PARC Main Ring* | 1239 |

Transverse beam profiles have been measured using flying wire monitors at the main ring of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). The flying wire is a beam profile monitor using a thin carbon fiber as a target. The beam is scanned with the wire target at the maximum speed of 5 m/s. The secondary particles from the beam-wire scattering are detected using a scintillation counter as a function of the wire position. The measurement has revealed a characteristic temporal change of the beam profile during the injection period of 120 ms. A multiparticle tracking simulation program, SCTR, taking account of space charge effects has successfully reproduced the beam profiles. | ||
