Scotch Tape -vs- Kapton tape
A 20 MeV electron was used to make a bremsstrahlung beam that impinged a sample of regular Scotch Tape and Kapton tape. Both tapes had similar areas of 2.5 x 3 cm. The Kapton had twice as much mass as the Scotch (0.1247 g -vs 0.0699 g).
The scotch taper became brittle after 4 hours of irradiation on the 25 N machine.
Below is an uncalibrated spectrum using Thorium rods. Lines should appear at 238.8,338.8, 511, 583.4, 911.2, and 2614.6 keV

HEU disks
A 20 MeV electron was used to make a bremsstrahlung beam that impinged HEU disks
Below is an uncalibrated spectrum using Thorium rods on Detector D. Lines should appear at 238.8,338.8, 511, 583.4, 911.2, and 2614.6 keV
The HEU samples were measured on two different HpGe detectors that has similar efficiencies. Get B was used for the Unirradiate sample and Detector D for the Irradiated HEU disk.

HEU comparison Before and After irradiation
Uniradiated HEU sample was measured for 2671.8 seconds
MPA->Draw("-3.12645+1.0003*evt.Chan>>NHEUback(2000,0,8000)","0.0003742795");
Iradiated HEU sample was measured overnight for 50554.469 seconds (14 hours)
