Abstract

We present a theoretical model that describes the resolution and linearity of a novel transparent X-ray beam imaging and position measurement method. Using a pinhole or coded aperture camera with pixelated area sensors to image a small fraction of radiation scattered by a thin foil placed at oblique angles with respect to the beam, a very precise measurement of the beam position is made. We show that the resolution of the method is determined by incident beam intensity, beam size, camera parameters, sensor pixel size and noise. The model is verified experimentally showing a sub-micrometer resolution over a large linear range.

Beam view and side view of the beam position monitor (not to scale) showing key parameters of the setup used in our model. A pinhole camera collects the X-ray radiation scattered from the highlighted area of the foil (footprint of the beam) and forms a magnified image at the sensor. A measurement of (uc, vc) is representative of the beam position (x0, z0).

Resolution factor (solid line) and resolution of image position measurements σv (dashed line) as a function of camera magnification for the CMOS indirect detection X-ray area sensor used in our experiments. Their combined effect determines the resolution of beam displacement measurements (solid line in the inset). Model parameters: α = 29°, Iint = 107 arbitrary digital units (adu), D = 5 mm, d = 125 μm, 200 × 200 μm2 beam size (as defined by slits), pinhole diameter 500 μm. The dashed line in the inset shows the effect of a “noiseless” detector (see the discussion section).

Difference between measured and actual beam displacements, εx and εz, at various beam positions in X- (a) and Z- (b) directions respectively. Beam displacement is derived from image displacement using Eq. (2). The error bars in (a) are comparable or less than the size of the markers. The insets show the near-zero region for both directions. Kapton foil thickness d = 125 µm, tilt angle α = 21°, cross aperture with slit width 100 μm, other XBPM parameters are as defined in the text.
