The fluorescent screen probe system is a core beam diagnostics instrument for high-energy particle accelerators and intense laser experiments. Leveraging the fluorescence excited when special materials are bombarded by high-energy particle beams, combined with high-sensitivity transient optical imaging, it delivers real-time, high-precision 2D monitoring of beam profile, spatial position, and intensity distribution.

Working Principle
Bombarded by high-energy particle beams (electrons, protons, heavy ions), the fluorescent screen emits optical signals that are transmitted through the vacuum window to a high-sensitivity camera for real-time 2D beam profile imaging. The control software processes the images and outputs key parameters such as spot size, position, and intensity distribution.
Control Software Interface
The mature, complete control software system provides probe motion control, real-time image acquisition and computational analysis, displaying spot size, position, and other beam information in real time.
