Abstract
A system is described for detecting optical radiation in order to measure the transverse dimensions of beams and their particle density distribution. The system is based on hodoscope photomultipliers, scintillators, fiber-optic transmission lines, and electronic units. The system was designed for monitoring beams of elementary particles in the K4-K10 c-τ-factory accelerator-storage systems, the synchrophasotron, and the nuclotron, with energies of 20 MeV to 10 GeV and intensities of 103–108 particles/cm2. A brief description is given of the optical part, the design of the detector, and the hardware and software.
