Grid and Aperture Monitor Electronics
Project description
The European Spallation Source (ESS) is generating neutrons by hitting a tungsten target with proton beam pulses. The energy of the pulses needs to be spread out in order not to destroy the target. This is done by a rastering system. Crucial components are the measurement devices used to make sure that the beam is spread out sufficiently and that it is still in the right place. The task of Lund University is to design the electronic part of these measurement systems, including the algorithms that analyze the position of the beam and reports the results to the ESS control and protection systems. This places high demand on accuracy and reliability on the system developed.
