Scintillator pulse count

Scintillator is located at the end of the 90 degree beamlien (after the thin window). Rates measured with W1 in and out.

Bend the beam by 45 degree

When we bend the beam by 45 degree, there were too much current on the scintilator. Gun grid voltage is lowered to lower the current.

Play with quads

same tune as above, except change in some of the quads.

Change quads: q4, q5, q6, q7, see the change in the rate.
