| Abstract |
We report on the design and performance of coded aperture optics elements in the CesrTA x-ray beam size monitor (xBSM). Resolution must be sufficient to allow single-turn measurements of vertical beam sizes of order 10um by imaging synchrotron radiation photons onto a one-dimensional photodiode array. Measurements with beam energies above 2.1GeV and current above 0.1mA can be performed with a single-slit (pinhole) optic. At lower energy or current, small beam size measurements are limited by the diffractive width of a pinhole image and counting statistics. A coded aperture is a multi-slit mask that can improve on the resolution of a pinhole in two ways: higher average transparency improves counting statistics; and the slit pattern and masking transparency can be designed to obtain a diffractive image with narrower features. We have previously implemented coded apertures that are uniform redundant arrays (URA). A new coded aperture design is optimized for imaging with 1.8 GeV beam energy (1.9keV average x-ray energy) and with beam sizes below 20um. Resolution measurements were made in December 2013. Performance of the new coded aperture is compared to the pinhole and the URA.
