Design and performance of a capacitor‐based burn‐through monitor for high‐power X‐ray beams at XFEL facilities

open access: yesJournal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
We present the results of testing 92 prototypes of a capacitor‐based burn‐through monitor at the LCLS XCS and XPP endstations. We quantify the beam energy density thresholds required to induce a detectable high‐voltage electrical short prior to complete burn‐through and demonstrate the reliability of this scalable, low‐cost solution for machine and ...
