Description
The FRIB carbon disc target receives the primary beam at high power and produces rare isotope fragments. To avoid damaging the carbon disc target, it is rotated at 500 RPM and cooled. If these thermal management mechanisms fail, local temperatures on the target can increase to the point of material sublimation and structural failure. A thermal imaging camera was temperature calibrated and installed for the purpose of monitoring the target temperature map in real time. Various image processing strategies were deployed to improve the accuracy and usefulness of the resulting image. Processing stages include conversion from intensity to temperature, median filtering to remove dead pixels, and flat field correction to compensate for vignetting and edge effects.
