- | * Calculating reaction setting | ||
- | * Center unreacted beam at S800 FP | ||
- | * Adjust spectrograph Brho to center beam at S800 FP | ||
- | * Requirements for a beam to be “Centered” | ||
- | * Spectrograph dipoles matched | ||
- | * Beam position within about 1 cm of center as judges by 0 point on crdc1x spectrum or on track.xfp spectrum | ||
- | * Record run to disk to document centered unreacted beam setting | ||
- | * Calculate reaction setting using “effective” beam energy and the nominal target thickness | ||
- | * Ideally, experimenters should be the ones making this calculation | ||
- | * This approach assumes that the target thickness is known | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | * Reaction setting to FP | ||
- | * Start with Attenuator setting of unreacted beam and step up in intensity | ||
- | * Set up beam blocker, if necessary | ||
- | * Expect to see unreacted beam if reaction setting is within +/- 3% of unreacted beam setting | ||
- | * Should have to move only one of the two blockers unless charge states are present | ||
- | * A graphic tool is available to help (not yet calibrated) | ||
- | * Try to cut only as much as necessary; depends on | ||
- | * What rate limits allow | ||
- | * What experimenters want (e.g., if they want singles, the cut has to be more restrictive to limit acquisition deadtime) | ||
- | * Move blocker, decrease attenuator, repeat | ||
