Abstract
A detector is disclosed for sensing an intensity of an electron beam generated along a path. An exemplary detector includes an exposed conductor attached to a support which is configured to locate the exposed conductor within a path of an electron beam; a grounded conductor isolated from the exposed conductor, the grounded conductor partly surrounding the exposed conductor to form a plasma shield having a window positioned at least in a direction of the electron beam path.
