14 MeV photons

We are sending 14 MeV phtoton through a 4" thick brick wall collimator. A 4" Al brick in front of the HRRL exit port is used as a FC.


FC: 223B2 NaI: 223B5 Acc Gate: 223B8 GEMtrig: 223B3

Vdrift= 3700 Volt

VGem=3400 IGem=815 microA

The scope trace below shows output when electron beam current is 18 mA.
