Abstract

A Beam Energy Monitor (BEM) is a novel compact beam diagnostic device for measuring the kinetic energy of charged particle beams of cyclic accelerators. The presented results are based on a BEM developed and tested at the MGC-20 cyclotron of the HUN-REN Institute for Nuclear Research (ATOMKI) in Debrecen, Hungary. In this work the results of the performance tests are reported. After testing the accuracy of the signal processing hardware and software, well-known neutron emission threshold reactions were used to investigate the achievable accuracy of the energy measurement with the new device in real, practical operation.

期刊介绍： Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section. Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
