Minimum accelerator energy to run experiment

The minimum energy of accelerator (MeV) is limited by fitting the collimator ([math]r_2[/math]) into the hole ([math]R = 8.73\ cm[/math])

[math]x_2 + r_2 = R[/math]

1) Assuming the collimator diameter is [math]\Theta_C[/math]:

[math]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\ (286+183)\ \tan\left(\frac{0.511}{E_{min}}\right) +
       \frac{1}{2}\ (286+183)\ \tan\left(\frac{0.511}{E_{min}}\right) = 8.73 \Rightarrow E_{min} = 33.1\ MeV  [/math]

2) Assuming the collimator diameter is [math]\Theta_C/2[/math]:

[math]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\ (286+183)\ \tan\left(\frac{0.511}{E_{min}}\right) +
       \frac{1}{2}\ (286+183)\ \tan\left(\frac{1}{2}\ \frac{0.511}{E_{min}}\right) = 8.73 \Rightarrow E_{min} = 26.3\ MeV  [/math]

3) Assuming the collimator diameter is [math]\Theta_C/4[/math]:

[math]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\ (286+183)\ \tan\left(\frac{0.511}{E_{min}}\right) +
       \frac{1}{2}\ (286+183)\ \tan\left(\frac{1}{4}\ \frac{0.511}{E_{min}}\right) = 8.73 \Rightarrow E_{min} = 22.8\ MeV  [/math]

4) In general:

critical angle

[math]\Theta_C = \frac{m_ec^2}{E_{beam}} = \frac{0.511\ MeV}{25\ MeV} = 1.17\ ^o[/math]

kicker angle

  [math]\Delta_1 = 286\ cm\ *\ \tan(1.17^o) = 5.84\ cm[/math] 

  [math]x^2+x^2 = 5.84^2\ cm \ \ \Rightarrow\ \  x = 4.13\ cm
   \Rightarrow\ \ \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{4.13}{286}\right) = 0.827\ ^o[/math]
