“…Due to simplicity of construction, high-enough resolution and relatively low cost wire scanners are still used to measure transverse position, direction, profile, emittance, and energy spread of the particle beams. The wire scanners are used for beam monitoring at low [13][14][15], medium [16][17][18] and high energies [19,20], as well as in sources of photons [21]. During the measurement, the wire is scanned across the particle beam, while the electrical current induced by the beam [22] or the intensity of the secondary particles [23] are registered.…”

A multi-wirescanner for diagnostics of ionizing particle beams (e.g. both non-relativistic and ultra-relativistic charged particles; X-ray and gamma photons) is proposed and discussed in the paper. The scanner is based on measurement of yield of characteristic X-rays generated during the particle interaction with the wires made of different materials. The proposed scanner is developed and tested on the beam of electrons with energy of 40 keV. The quasimonochromatic characteristic X-rays and continuous background are clearly identified. The results of measurements of the transverse size, emittance, position and direction of beam propagation are presented and discussed.
