Linac Run Plan April 2018, Dr. McNulty

Beam Line info

Machine: 25b Linac

0[math]°[/math] port

Beam Energy: 8 MeV

Rep Rate: Max (150Hz?)

Pulse Width: 100ns

Run Plan

To find operating point

- Will use 15 OSLs from reproducibility study to make sure that dose is within acceptable range

Table

Start at 7am

Shot #	Number of Pulses	Number of OSLs	Beam Current	Dose/pulse	Expected Dose/pulse
1	80	1	50 mA
2		1	mA
3		1	mA
4		1	mA
5		1	mA
6		1	mA
7		1	mA
8		1	mA
9		1	mA
10		1	mA
11		1	mA
12		1	mA
13		1	mA
14		1	mA
15		1	mA

Experiment

85 Nanodot OSLs for use (dose not include OSLs from reproducibility study)

- upper limit of OSLs is 15Gy, want to be around 7.5Gy with multiple pulses

Will talk to engineers about double pulsing and guaranteeing number of pulses and update.

Low Dose Line: Dose = (0.11 +/- 0.01)(PMT Counts) + (119.29 +/- 29.08)

High Dose Line: Dose = (1.54 +/- 0.06)(PMT Counts) + (1004.80 +/- 1006.24)
