A Geant simulation of 20 MeV electrons impinging on a lattice of PbF2 shows that the majority of energy is deposited in the first centimeter of the sample.  Since it was expected that most of the radiation damage would lie in this region, spectra rendered at 1 cm along the length of the sample were chosen for analysis before spectra rendered at further lengths.

Four measurements of each sample were made throughout this experiment.  Crystals were irradiated with the 25 MeV LINAC at the Idaho Accelerator Center over intervals of 1, 2, and 4 hours.  Each sample was exposed and cured with blue UV light twice. Measurements of the intensity were taken after exposure, and after blue light curing just before the next exposure. Each measurement was made twice: once with the sample resting in its original position at the time of irradiation and again with the sample tilted 90 degrees.  These two measurements were averaged together.

Radiation Exposure Tests in December for Hall A.

We will have three days of beamtime (Dec 3-5). We will use the the 25-MeV linac to direct an electron beam upon the [math]\mbox{PbF}_2[/math] crystals. The Lead Flouride crystals will be placed on a translator table so that each crystal can be moved individually into the beam. The crystals are 30x30x185 [math]\mbox{mm}^3[/math] and are 1290g each.


We need to keep the Power below 1 Watt onto the [math]\mbox{PbF}_2[/math] crystal or 0.78 Gy/s for a [math]\mbox{PbF}_2[/math] block of 1.3 kg. We can achieve this by setting the beam parameters of the 25-MeV LINAC appropriately (cf. http://www.iac.isu.edu/facilities/25MeV_hall.html).

Here we have: P = E [math]\times[/math] I

Here, [P] Watts, [E] MeV, and [I] [math]\mu[/math]A

Accelerator Settings
beam energy 20 MeV
Rep Rate: 10 Hz
I_peak: 50 mA/pulse
pulse width: 0.1 [math]\mu[/math]s (100 ns)

Time on for one second is 1 us. and Time off is 0.999999 s The average current 0.999999 * 0 + 0.000001*50mA = 0.05 [math]\mu[/math]A.

P = (20 MeV) [math]\times[/math] (0.05 [math]\mu[/math]A) = 1 Watt.

[math]\left ( \frac{20MeV}{e^-} \right)*0.05\mu A = \left ( \frac{20eV}{e^-} \right)*0.05A = 1 eV*A/ee^-[/math]

[math]= 1.6*10^{-19}J*A/e^- = 1.6*10^{-19}J*\frac{C}{s}/e^-[/math]

[math]1.6*10^{-19}\frac{J\ C}{s \cdot e^-} * \frac{1 \ e-}{1.6*10^{-19}C} = 1 Watt[/math]



With the proviso we keep the I_peak (Instantaneous Current in the pulse) well above 5 mA (noise level) so the it can be tracked by the pick-up coil. 50 mA/pulse will do the job.
