Article Synopsis
  • A new beam-position and profile monitor for synchrotron X-ray beamlines uses scattered radiation from a thin polyimide foil.
  • This paper introduces a ray-trace model that helps calculate how changes in the device's geometry affect its performance for a specific beam size.
  • The model's predictions on beam position sensitivity, profile shape, and intensity are validated against experimental data from the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility.

A compact, inexpensive and easy-to-construct two-dimensional in situ beam-position and profile monitor for synchrotron X-ray beamlines is presented. The device is based on the collection of spatially resolved scattered radiation from a polyimide foil. The X-ray beam passes through a foil placed in the path of the beam, which absorbs no more than 3% of the beam at 12 keV.
