First measurement and online monitoring of the stripper foil thinning and pinhole formation to achieve a longer foil lifetime in high-intensity accelerators

We have established and also implemented a nondestructive online monitoring system for measuring the stripper foil degradation, such as foil thinning and pinhole outbreak, for the first time during beam operation in a high-intensity proton accelerator. We aimed to achieve a realistic and longer life...
