Characterization of optical components for the ESS Target Imaging System

At the European Spallation Source (ESS), a Target Imaging System (TIS) has been proposed to monitor the integrity of the target wheel. The TIS signal will be provided by the gamma decay photons from the activated tungsten bricks of the target. To collect the photons, a linear array of 500 scintillators is mounted on a collimator and the imaging is achieved via a push-broom method. Scintillation light will be carried by optical fibers to an intensified sCMOS camera.
