Abstract
The work is devoted to the study of scanning the transverse profile of a beam using a vibrating wire. A new algorithm has been developed that allows the use of a resonant vibrating target method for high scanning speeds. The method is based on the idea of measuring secondary/reflected particles/radiation generated from the interaction of the beam particles with the wire material, synchronously with the frequency of the wire oscillation. The proposed algorithm for using a differential signal with sign inversion on consecutive measurements from half-periods of wire oscillations is generalized for the case when the scanning speed is much higher than the average speed of the wire oscillation.
