Beam Scans

Zero Degree Port.

Beam spot at the Zero Degree Port as a function of grid voltage knob setting -- not calibrated to voltage but reproducible. (Settings: 0.1, 0.15, 0.18, 0.2)

The 0.15 grid setting is nice. It does not saturate. Here we take slices in x and y and then fit gaussians to the intensity curves. We observe that 35 mm is 244 pix by comparing with the 3.5 cm distance between diagonal bolt studs.

[math]\sigma = \frac{w}{2} \frac{35}{244} [/math] renders the standard deviation into mm. The FWHM is [math] 2.35\sigma [/math]. For the slices at the 0.15 setting, the FWHM are: [math] 2.35\sigma_x = 2.5 [/math]mm and [math] 2.35\sigma_y = 2.7 [/math]mm. This is fully consistent with our digital photographs taken on May 27, 2008.

90 Degree Port.

Beam spot at the 90 Degree Port as a function of grid voltage knob setting -- not calibrated to voltage but reproducible. (Settings: 0.61, 0.80, 1.23, 1.50) 90Port 10MeV Gun2keV Grid 0.61.JPG 90Port 10MeV Gun2keV Grid 0.80.JPG 90Port 10MeV Gun2keV Grid 1.23.JPG 90Port 10MeV Gun2keV Grid 1.50.JPG

MPA Runs

The runs below had about 40 mA peak before the first 45 degree bend.

Na-22 beta decays giving off a 215 keV KE beta and a 1.275 MeV photon.

Co-60: decays to Ni giving 2 dominant gamma lines at 1.173237( 4) and 1.332501( 5) MeV. The Average Beta energy is 95 keV.


Using runs 7 and 9 I see the following
