 +Question 4:
 +
 +  * Used website to calculate θ<sub>max</sub> and ΔE/E
 +    ** Opening angle = 0.59 deg = 10 mrad which is less than the θ<sub>max</sub>=25 mrad so we're good. \\ 
 +    ** ΔE/E = (12.083-11.593)/(12.083+11.593) ~2% which is less than the 3.1% threshold so this also works.\\

 +Question 5:
 +
 +  * <sup>15</sup>O + α reaction plays a role in the ignition of type I x-ray bursts on accreting neutron stars \\ 
 +
 +
 +Question 6:
 +
 +  * Using 'WRITE 6 VMAX(RAY(1))' x<sub>max</sub> was calculated to be 0.2909704181068736E-002 m
 +  * Plotting COSY beam size (x) and the quadrupole field strength(divided by aperture radius) and arrived at the graph below. Data doesn't appear to fit the quadratic form too closely.
 +  * Calculated emittance is about 0.3 mm mrad, which is 50% larger than the 'real' emittance.

 +
 +Question 7:
 +
 +  * Effective field length of Q2 was increased by 3% and the drift lengths either side were adjusted accordingly, so as not to change the the centre position of the quadrupole. 
 +  * The mass resolution was then optimised by minimising the function OBJ := 1/ABS(MRESOL_P1) by varying the strength of Q2, Q3 and Q4.
 +  * This would increase the mass resolution to values of up to 85,000, however the emittance was very large. 
 +
 +{{Group5_screen_shot_2018-09-13_at_16.02.21.png }}
 +
 +  * We realised that we should alter our objective function, in order to re focus our beam. This was achieved with the function OBJ := 1/ABS(MRESOL_P1) + ABS(ME(1,2)), where we added on the (a|x) matrix element to also minimise. 
 +
 +{{Group5_screen_shot_2018-09-13_at_15.48.23.png }}
 +
 +  * This optimisation improved the mass resolution from 640.86349 to 724.66207, while still focusing. 
 +
 +
 +Question 8:
 +
 +  * Tolerance for the beam size was found to be 0.00075 +/- 0.00004 m
 +  * Tolerance for the beam position was found to be +/- 0.007 m
