Va. Lebedev, DIFFRACTION-LIMITED RESOLUTION OF THE OPTICAL-TRANSITION RADIATION MONITOR, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 372(3), 1996, pp. 344-348
The space resolution of the optical transition radiation (OTR) monitor
is discussed. It was found that for an ultrarelativistic electron bea
m the space resolution does not depend on beam energy but long tails a
re created in the image which make a measurement of the beam halo diff
icult.
