2n BKG data

BKG effect with the paddle detector:

$I_{e^-} = 30 mA$, $Pw=20 ns$, $R=300Hz$, $E_{e^-}=10.5 MeV$

Upstream collimator diamater = 0.25"

Downstream collimator diamater = 2.0"

2 Al sheets as bremsstrahlung radiator;

Detector G: HV(G1) = -1700 V, HV(G2) = -1650 V.

There was 2" of lead in front of the Det G. Det G was placed on the floor.

Case A: Target out, radiator in - Counting rate (G1) = 1/168 (gammas/pulse)

Case B: Target out, radiator in, downstream collimator blocked - Counting rate (G1) = 1/485 (gammas/pulse)
