A precise measurement of absolute beam intensity is essential for many areas of science. It is a key parameter to monitor any losses in a beam and to calibrate the absolute number of particles delivered to the experiments. However, this type of measurement is very challenging with traditional beam current diagnostics when it comes to low energy, low intensity beams due to the very low signal levels, say experts.
