title = "Novel wire scanner for high-intensity pulsed beams",
abstract = "A novel wire scanner has been developed with applications at linear accelerators where small beam spots or high intensities would otherwise destroy wires. A pattern of wires is supported on a thin membrane and remains in place even when punctured by the beam. Many scans can be made before the material needs to be replaced. Tests of the principle have been carried out at the Final Focus Test Beam at SLAC.",

note = "Funding Information: We thank Prof. David Burke and Dr. Peter Tenenbaum for help with the set-up of the electron beam. Karl Bouldin and Yung-Yung Sung gave valuable assistance with the assembly and the control hardware. We also thank Marnel King at CIS Stanford for preparation of the Si 3 N 4 samples, and Kim Lee of IBM Yorktown Heights for preparation of the Si membranes. One of us (C.H.B.) acknowledges the Swiss National Fund for financial support. Funding Information: Work supported by US Department of Energy, Contract DE-AC03-76SF00515. ",
