Optical fiber beam loss monitor for the PHIL and ThomX facilities

Abstract

ISBN 978-3-95450-132-8International audienceFiber beam loss monitor (FBLM) is an attractive solution to measure beam losses intensity and position in real time. It is a very useful tool, especially, for the commissioning and the beam alignment. In this article we report on the development of the FBLM at PHIL (PHotoinIector at LAL, Orsay, France) as a prototype of the beam loss monitor for the ThomX machine, the compact Compton based X-ray source being in the construction phase in Orsay
