A new Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) facility which was recently installed in the Department of Physics of the Eduardo Mondlane University of Maputo, Mozambique, is described. The set up is based on a low energy (500 keV) Van de Graaff proton accelerator and is intended to be used in particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE), Rutherford Backscattering (RBS) and nuclear reaction analysis (NRA). Preliminary experiments on beam diagnostics were performed successfully and the followed procedure is described.

At the 12 GeV storage ring PETRA, the first synchrotron radiation beamline uses a 4 m-long undulator. The beamline, with a length of 130 m between source and sample, delivers hard X-ray photons usable up to 300 keV. The photon beam has a total power of 7 kW. Combined with the high brilliance, the powerful beam is very critical for all beamline components. Copper, located at a distance of 26 m, hit by the full undulator beam, melts within 20 ms. Different monitors are described for stable, safe and reliable operation of beam and experiments.

Laser-Compton scattering (LCS) experiments were carried out at the Idaho Accelerator Center (ICA) using the 5 ns (FWHM) and 22 MeV electron beam. The electron beam was brought to an approximate head-on collision with a 7 ns (FWHM), 10 Hz, 29 MW peak power Nd:YAG laser. We observed clear and narrow X-ray peaks resulting from the interaction of relativistic electrons with the 532 nm Nd:YAG laser second harmonic line on top of a very low bremsstrahlung background. We have developed a method of using LCS as a non-intercepting electron beam monitor. Unlike the method used by Leemans et al. (1996), our method focused on the variation of the shape of the LCS spectrum rather than the LCS intensity as a function of the observation angle in order to extract the electron beam parameters at the interaction region. The electron beam parameters were determined by making simultaneous fits to spectra taken across the LCS X-ray cone. We also used the variation of LCS X-ray peak energy and spectral width as a function of the detector angles to determine the electron beam angular spread, and direction and compared the results to the previous method. Experimental data show that in addition to being viewed as potential bright, tunable and monochromatic X-ray source, LCS can provide important information on electron beam pulse length, direction, energy, angular, and energy spread. Since the quality of LCS X-ray peaks, such as degree of monochromaticity, peak energy and flux, depends strongly on the electron beam parameters, LCS can therefore be viewed as an important non-destructive means for electron beam diagnostics.

A novel high-energy multi-lens interferometer consisting of 30 arrays of planar compound refractive lenses is reported. Under coherent illumination each lens array creates a diffraction-limited secondary source. Overlapping such coherent beams produces an interference pattern demonstrating strong longitudinal functional dependence. The proposed multi-lens interferometer was tested experimentally at the 100 m-long ID11 ESRF beamline in the X-ray energy range from 30 to 65 keV. The interference pattern generated by the interferometer was recorded at fundamental and fractional Talbot distances. An effective source size (FWHM) of the order of 15 µm was determined from the first Talbot image, proving the concept that the multi-lens interferometer can be used as a high-resolution tool for beam diagnostics.
