Abstract
We introduce a diagnostic for measuring the transverse phase space (TPS) and transverse second moments of a particle beam in a single shot. The diagnostic consists of a slit followed by a simple projection beam line to project the TPS onto an imaging screen. The beam line is composed of a skew quadrupole magnet followed by a normal quadrupole magnet with an imaging screen at the end. The skew quadrupole generates a coupling between the initial and the final , while the normal quadrupole removes the correlation between the initial and the initial . Thus, the initial is mapped onto the final . The slit is needed before the projection beam line to remove the initial contribution from the final image on the screen. We present simulation studies and a demonstration of the diagnostic with an experiment performed at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator facility. We also discuss the method’s limitations.
