Multi-pulse extraction from Los Alamos Proton Storage Ring for radiographic applications

Abstract

In Proton Radiography, one of the goals is a motion picture of a rapidly moving object. The Los Alamos Proton Storage Ring (PSR) in its normal operating mode, delivers a single pulse approximately 120 ns wide (fwhm). In development runs at the PSR, we successfully demonstrated operation of a technique to deliver two pulses, each 40 nsec wide, with adjustable spacing.
