Abstract

In the framework of the future linear collider collaboration (CLIC, ILC), non-intercepting beam monitoring instruments are under development for very low emittance and high charge density beams. Optical diffraction radiation (ODR) was studied and developed during the last years focussing on beam size measurements. We propose in the paper to consider the use of diffraction radiation for ultra relativistic beams as position monitors with applications for the centering of scrapers, collimators and targets with high resolution. We present the experimental results obtained using small aperture slits on the ATF2 extraction beam line at KEK and on the Cornell Electron Storage Ring with 1.2GeV and 2.1GeV electrons respectively.
