Description
Area scan sensors (CCD or CMOS cameras) are widely used for beam profile measurements in particle beam diagnostics. They provide the full two-dimensional information about the beam distribution, allowing in principle to investigate shot-to-shot profile fluctuations at moderate repetition rates. In order to study the performance and to characterize these cameras, photon transfer is a widely applied popular and valuable testing methodology (see e.g. the EMVA 1288 standard).
The idea of this project is to build a test set up and to study the performance of digital cameras based on signal-to-noise and photon transfer measurements which are in use for beam profile diagnostics at different DESY accelerators.
