Measurement of Beam Current in the Bevatron by Induced Voltages
Description:
The Bevatron uses a system of electrodes through which the internal proton beam passes in order to continuously measure the magnitude and radial position of the beam. The bunched circulating beam induces a periodic voltage on the electrodes. This signal is amplified and displayed on an oscilloscope and also converted to direct current for operation of a recorder. Two types of electrode systems are used. The first is a large hollow box to provide beam magnitude signals for specialized monitoring…
