We're the first group and anyone who claims otherwise is wrong.

1. We are going to model the reaction P-31(p,γ)S-32 in SECAR

2. The Energy of the incident phosphorus is 31MeV

3. We wrote our code, foolishly putting Isaac in charge. Our (commented) code can be found here (add link later) COSY output shown below

4. Final x and y positions were determined to be x_f=.018 y_f=.009 at dE/E=.05

5. We used http://skisickness.com/2010/04/relativistic-kinematics-calculator/ to determine the recoil energy and angular distribution

5. Our energy spread is ~3.1%, the same as SECAR's 3.1% limit

6. Our opening angle is 7.0 mrad which is under the 25 mrad max of SECAR

7. Our reaction has been performed before at much lower energies. (~1MeV total)
