Beam halo imaging with a digital optical mask

Beam halo is an important factor in any high intensity accelerator. It can cause difficulties in the control of the beam, emittance growth, particle loss, and even damage to the accelerator. It is therefore essential to understand the mechanisms of halo formation and its dynamics. Experimental measu...
