Laser-plasma accelerators have been the subject of extensive research in recent years. The electron beams they generate exhibit a broad energy spread. To conveniently characterize beams from laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA), electron spectrometers employing scintillating screens coupled with CCD cameras are typically used. In this work, we calibrate a series of DRZ phosphor screens and measure the spectra of the light they emit. The calibration was performed using the radio-frequency linear electron accelerator at Tsinghua University, which provided monoenergetic electron beams with peak energy of approximately 30 MeV.
