Beam spot diagnostics of highly focused electron beams in therapeutic X-Ray generators via Optical Transition Radiation — •Thomas Beiser¹ and Kurt Aulenbacher² — ¹Helmholtz-Institute Mainz, (Germany), GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, Darmstadt (Germany) — ²Helmholtz-Institute Mainz, (Germany), GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung, Darmstadt (Germany), Johannes Gutenberg-University, Mainz (Germany)

Optical Transition Radiation (OTR), which is commonly used for beam diagnostics in accelerators at high energies (e.g. MeV to GeV electrons), allows for beam spot diagnostics of intense and highly focused electron beams in therapeutic X-Ray generators with energies as low as 100 keV, using off-the-shelf camera equipment.
