Abstract
At GANIL we have developed a beam profile monitor based on ionization of the residual gas of the beam transport lines under the impact of hi gh energy heavy ion beams. The charged ions of the residual gas drift by means of an electrostatic field onto a microchannel plate (MCP), wh ich yields signals collected on a multistrip anode, providing the spat ial distribution of the beam. Calculations and results are presented a s well as discussions about the different parameters of the device.
