Direct wire read out electronics for the Hasylab-Zeuthen-Wirescanner

Wire scanners are used to measure the profile and the position of particle beams and are therefore ubiquitous in accelerator facilities. A wire passes through the electron beam, causing a charge on the wire and the deflection of beam particles itself. The particles bended by the wire are detected by a scintillation counter. The maximum of the photomultiplier signal corresponds with the center of the beam profile. Independent information is provided when detecting the charge deposited on the wire. Following, is a short introduction of the physical difficulty of detecting the signal influenced on the wire, a possible realization of the necessary electronics and showingpreliminary results of measurements carried out at the Tesla Test Facility TTF I inHamburg and the Photon Injector PITZ at Zeuthen
