3 Contents Transmissive XBPMs based on fluorescent foils and Position Sensitive Devices Introduction Fluorescent foil XBPM Sedimentation deposition of phosphors Electrophoretic deposition Position Sensitive Detector XBPM

4 Requirements on a transmissive beam monitor Opaque monitors: Commissioning, debugging Automatic correction of slow drifts << 1 Hz Transmissive monitors: Automatic alignment / optimization of beamline Stabilization of fast drifts / vibrations Requirements: Measurement of beam position, intensity and profile High time resolution (from slow drifts up to 100 Hz) For > 1 monitor in beamline: Absorption < 10 % over a: Broad photon energy range Radiation hard to fluxes of typically photons/s (up to photons/s)

5 Transmissive X-ray beam position monitors Imaging monitors Pixel based photocurrent detector monitors Fluorescent foil monitors: Phosphor powder coated screens Scintillators fluorescing CVD Diamond beam intensity, position, profile limited time resolution Blade monitors beam position (limited) high time resolution high flux capacity

6 Center of mass position monitors Back-fluorescence quadrant diode array beam intensity, position Quadrupole ionization chamber high time resolution Quadrant electrode photocurrent monitors Thinned Position Sensitive Detector

7 Fluorescent screen XBPM fluorescing foil observed via lens coupled CCD time-resolved imaging monitor: - beam intensity - center of mass position - 2-dimensional beam shape XBPM design in use at BESSY and PSF beamlines [K. Holldack et al., 2000, BESSY Annual Report] Current monitor control GUI (VC++) alternative LabVIEW GUI in use at BESSY

8 Transmissive fluorescent screen XBPM Extension to existing beam-occluding beam monitor A C Phosphor screen (A) and deflection mirror (B) holder with 3-point arrest (C), modified for transmission operation B A original occluding SPOT setup new transmittant setup normal incidence imaging of beam spot: thinnest possible screen thickness compact pneumatically retractable design microscope with zoom objective large numerical aperture possible due to 90 degree deflection

9 Phosphor materials Requirements on phosphor materials: absorption < 10 % over photon energy range 6-20 kev phosphor grain size < 3 µm radiation hard for prolonged exposure times fast excitation decay, negligible afterglow must work in high vacuum conditions Calculated X-ray transmission curves for various phosphor bulk materials for a foil thickness 1µm

11 ElectroPhoretic Deposition (EPD) Phosphor-deposition on Al-coated substrate: Phosphor powder supension in salt solution. Accelerate charged phosphor particles towards cathode (Al-coated Mylar) to deposit. Control of layer thickness via: applied voltage (amplitude, duration) thickness of Al-coating Possibility to optimize for small particle size by letting the suspension settle. Phosphor tested: Y 2 O 2 S:Eu / Mylar [J. D. McGee et al., Adv. Electr. Electr. Physics, 1966] [in Collaboration with G. Reichardt, BESSY]
