This work implements high granularity silicon beam monitors covering a wide range of particle intensities, indicating effective monitoring capabilities.
positron beams in the energy range tens of MeV-750 MeV in a wide range of intensity, from 1 up to 10^10 particles per pulse. The pulse rate is 50Hz. This paper describes the implementation of two types of high granularity silicon beam monitors: two pairs of silicon strip detectors readout by single particle ASICs for the low multiplicity range (1-100 particles) and a silicon strip detector with charge integrating electronics to cover the remaining range (100-10^10). Both the silicon detectors are characterized by large dimensions (up to 9.5x9.5 cm^2) and a granularity in the 100μm range. The paper describes the two systems and the results obtained during several dedicated runs.
