MC01: Beam Charge and Current Monitors

Contributed Oral Presentation

An AC current transformer (ACCT) is among the most robust non‑interceptive diagnostic tools for real‑time beam monitoring during beam delivery. At TRIUMF, ACCTs are installed in major beamlines, enabling continuous measurements of beam intensity without disrupting beam transport. This work evaluates the performance and operational characteristics of ACCTs used on the facility’s primary...

MC01: Beam Charge and Current Monitors

Contributed Oral Presentation

We report on a new radiation-hard beam current monitor system based on work originally done to develop timing planes for future collider detectors. In contrast to sensors based on wall currents or toroid inductance, we make use of electric field induced by the electromagnetic vector potential of the beam current as it passes near or through a transmission line (TL), arranged with its dominant...
