PositronDetectorCal_4_40MeV

Run configuration

1. calibrate the NaI detector by sending 5->10 MeV electrons from the 44 machine directly into the NaI detector while the electron current is just above dark current. Use the magnet to deflect the electrons away from the crystal to measure the photon background.
