Why quad inside K600? * 7) HO in K600 Spectrometer. * 8) How to use reconstruct the scattering angle at target from focal plane measurement? Setup of multi-slit for angle calibration, drift between target and multi-slit. * 9) Discuss only one spectrometer (e.g. K600, Grand Raiden, Big Karl). * 10) Explain magnetization of ferro-magnetic material. * 11) p. 14 Why not 0 deg with beam (for dispersion matching)? * 12) Will permanent magnet saturate material. Similar to coil generated fields? * 13) Why is dispersion matching needed? * 14) Can EFL be measured? {{ :questions_answers_lecture2.pdf |Answers}} ==== Some questions from Lecture 4 (Berg):==== * 1) How does COSY calculated the fringe field? * 2) How important are accurate fringe field measurements for SECAR and St. GEORGE? * 3) What is the meaning of the rectangles in COSY graphics output? * 4) In an achromatic fragment separator, do you need a slit and/or a wedge in the dispersive intermediate plane. * 5) In a gas filled separator are all charge states collected in one location? * 6) How does a wedge restore the achromaticity in a fragment separator? * 7) What is the purpose of the DSR (Spin dipole) in front of GRAND RAIDEN focal plan? {{ :questions_answers_lecture3.pdf |Answers}} ==== Some questions from Lecture 5 (Berg):==== * 1) Why are there 189 Characteristic Rays (see Procedure CHARAY)? * 2) How realistic is Gaussian distribution for the incoming beam? * 3) Difference between dispersive focus and achromatic focus. * 4) On ST. GEORGE the reactions that push the energy acceptance (+/-8%) also pushes the angular acceptance (+/-40 mrad). This doesn’t seem to be true in SECAR: 15O(p,g)19Ne pushes the energy acceptance (+/-3.1%) but not in the angular acceptance (only +/-15.6 mradvs. SECAR’s +/-25 mrad acceptance). Is there a reason SECAR was designed with angular acceptance so much larger than the energy acceptance? * 5) Purpose of SECAR Section 3? * 6) On slide 6, what is the meaning of the arrows the Effective Field Length and Good Field Regions? * 7) Extended target for SECAR? * 8) Engefunction (not from this Lecture)? * 9) Is Q1 (Quad + Hex) used or only a design feature? * 10) x_HO= (x’|x)*2_0 + HO, how are the higher order terms (HO) added * 11) Clarify D in the definition of the Nominal Beam definition * 12) Why is the alignment adjusted before and after the ion optical element? * 13) Can the recirculatory-ring for projectile beam increase the nuclear reaction rate? I.E. can we return the projectile beam (passed through the target) to the beam again. * 14) Alignment example not clear. * 15) Does higher order effects give us details about the initial beam characteristic? Or do HO effects tell us that the beam line is different than what we think? ( e.g. field imperfections in the magnets etc.) {{ :questions_answers_lecture4.pdf |Answers}}
