Ceramic

phosphorscreens are made by sintering a luminescentpowder, usually aluminum oxide Al2O3,
doped with chromium (Chromax). This
material has a 20-30 times higher light yieldcompared to zinc sulfide (300-400 photons
per one high-energy particle) and has good
linearity up to densities of the order of 1014
particles/cm2.
Fig.2. Typical CCD image of the electron beam
The coordinate grid applied either to thesurface of the screen or to the screen holder
makes it possible to determine the position of
the center of mass of the beam and its shape.
Having measured for a specific sensor andcamera the experimental dependence of the
spot size displayed on the screen on the value ofthe beam current, it is possible to determine
the root-mean-square dimensions of the beamin the vertical and horizontal planes using thecoordinate grid with satisfactory accuracy. The
sensitivity of such a sensor is high, reaching
107 particles/cm2 even with the traditional
coating of the screen with a layer of zinc sulfide

spatial resolution, and radiation resistance.
The most common materials used for the
manufacture of a phosphor screens are thefollowing:

The main disadvantage of phosphor screensis their opacity for the beam. Intensive use ofphosphor screens for diagnostics of beams,
especially proton and ion beams, leads to arather rapid damage to the screens due topulsed thermal and electrical loads. Therefore,
the choice of material and design of a modern

the light spot. For diagnostics of such beams,
sensors based on transition radiation are being
developed [46,47], the spatial resolution ofwhich is limited only by the diffraction limit. In
addition, the angular distribution of transition
