ANL has developed a high-resolution optical transition radiation (OTR) imaging monitor system for the LCLS injection linac at SLAC. The imaging station, OTR-S1, will be located at the S1 spectrometer with a beam energy of 135 MeV. The system will be used to acquire 2-D transverse beam distributions of the accelerated photocathode-gun-generated electron beam. We anticipate an average beam current of 0.2-1 nC and nominal beam spot size of σ-x 130 microns, σ-y 100 microns. The imaging system was designed for a field of view h/v: 10x7.5 mm. The spatial resolution of ~12 microns was verified over the central 5x4 mm region in the visible. A 12-bit digital camera acquires the image and a Mac-based digital frame capturing system was employed for the initial lab-based performance testing of the device. We are reporting on system development, image capture system, testing methodology, and test data analysis. Commissioning results will be reported as they become available. |

Funding: Work supported by U. S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. A real-time image analysis system was developed for beam imaging diagnostics. An Apple Power Mac G5 with an Active Silicon LFG frame grabber were used to capture video images that were processed and analyzed. Software routines were created to utilize vector processing hardware to reduce the time to process images as compared to conventional methods. These improvements allow for more advanced image processing diagnostics to be performed in real time. |
