Abstract
For beam position monitoring purposes, three different approaches have been applied to investigate and compare pickup button and electron beam spectrum characteristics. Results on this simulative approach are presented. Induced pickup currents have been calculated both with an analytical and a numerical method. An experimental validation of these simulation results has been conducted with the 6-MeV electron beam from a linear accelerator for medical purposes. The measurements were conducted under non-vacuum conditions. Good agreement between particle-in-cell simulation and experimental data was achieved concerning pickup power spectral distribution and dependence from beam current and beam displacements although non-negligible electron spread during air passage of the electron beam cannot be avoided.
