Beam Line Configuration
A 1/4 inch diameter collimater is placed in the experimental cell just after a Helium bag inserted in the wall. A 2 cm thick scintillator is place over the beam downstream side of the collimator aligned using a laser. A 1 kG magnet placed after the drift chambers deflects charged particles onto a large scintillator paddle. A coincidence is required between the two scintillators.
Increased beam energy from 10 MeV to 12 MeV due to expected energy loss in front scintillator.
Runs
Decided to increase beam current until up to 10% of events in front scintilaltor hit back scintillator. Ran in OR mode so a software coincidence can be formed based on measurement in ADC15 (ADC14 in C convention).
