Abstract

In future high intensity, high energy accelerators, beam losses have to be minimized to maximize performance and reduce activation of accelerator components. It is imperative to have a clear understanding of the mechanisms that can lead to halo formation and to have the possibility to test available theoretical models with an adequate experimental setup. Measurements based on optical transition radiation (OTR) provide an interesting opportunity for high resolution measurements of the transverse beam profile. An imaging system based on a beam core-suppression technique, in which the core of the beam is deflected by means of a micro mirror array, to allow for direct observation of the halo has been developed. In this contribution, a possible layout of a novel diagnostic system based on adaptive optics is presented and the results of first tests carried out in our optical lab are summarized.
