SOlarPanel A Irradiation on Jack

Irradiated on Jack by placing samples just above the Radiator as shown in the picture.

Beam parameters: Irradiation Date : 5/23/18

Start Time: 09:07:30

Stop Time: 11:07:30

[math]T_{Irradiation} = 120 min [/math]

Rep Rate=300 Hz

I = 98 mA

Pulse Width = 10 usec

E = 38 MeV

The solar panel current output dropped 1 mA per hour during irradiation. The cove was too dark to produce a signal from ambient light. The observed signal was completely due to the electron beam.

Measurements started at 14:45:38, 2:38:08 (158 min, 9488 sec) after irradiation ended,

Add 9488 seconds to time below to get time since irradiation
