Abstract

In recent years, a number of laser based H- beam diagnostics systems have been developed in the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). This talk reviews three types of laser-based diagnostics at SNS: the laser wire profile monitors at superconducting linac (SCL), the laser based transverse emittance measurement system at high energy beam transport (HEBT), and the laser bunch shape monitor at medium energy beam transport (MEBT). Measurement performance will be reported and major technical challenges in the design, implementation, and operation of the laser based diagnostics at accelerator facilities will be addressed.
