Experiment Plan

25/10/22 – estimated first beam: 10.00.

  1. Set up mains cabling and networking in treatment and control rooms.
  2. Pristine Bragg peak measurements at 150 MeV, from 1 nA scaling up logarithmically until saturation.
  3. Step down energy in 10 MeV steps.

Experiment Notes

Range calorimeter measurements with photodiodes.
