The magnetic rigidity ("Brho") of the **segments 6 and 7** ([[Introduction#Analysis Line|analysis beam line]]) of the S800 Barney page displayed below will be set during the secondary-beam tuning (SDT) in cooperation with the [[https://groups.nscl.msu.edu/a1900|A1900 group]].

| The Brho of segment 8 (spectrograph) of the S800 Barney page (see figure below) has to be chosen by the experimenter according to the objectives of the experiment. The segment 8 Brho can roughly be estimated by assuming the segment 7 Brho (analysis beam line) and correcting for the energy loss of the desired fragment/particle in the reaction target. The "physical calculator" of the program [[http://lise.nscl.msu.edu/lise.html|LISE++]] is well suited for this purpose. The final Brho of segment 8 will later be fine-tuned to achieve the desired setting in the S800 focal plane (fragment of interest centered, for example). Please coordinate all required Brho changes of the spectrograph beam line (segment 8) with the [[https://groups.nscl.msu.edu/a1900|A1900 group]] as early as possible. |

{{:wiki:barney_magnets.jpg?700|Barney display for the S800.}} | We strongly recommend Barney printouts after every change of the spectrograph. This not only provides a paper copy of all magnet settings from segment 0 to segment 8 but also saves this information in ascii format on disk (accessible via the A1900 web site under [[https://groups.nscl.msu.edu/a1900/archive/barney/|Beam Line Savesets]]). If an [[Determination of Angles and Momentum#Calculation of the inverse map|inverse map]] is desired for the tracking of the particles in the spectrograph, segment 8 Brho and the magnet currents of the dipoles and quadrupoles are needed to determine important input parameters for the calculation. |
