Description

Several types of profile monitors used to measure the spatial and temporal profiles of pulsed antiproton beams at the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) facility of CERN is described. These include a highly sensitive, secondary electron emission chamber, a parallel plate ionization chamber, and a Lucite Cherenkov counter. These monitors were recently used in laser spectroscopy experiments of antiprotonic helium atoms.
