Precision energy measurement technique
Abstract
A technique that was successfully tested made it possible to open the slits to delta p/p = +-0.5% and measure the energy centroid of each beam pulse with a precision of +-0.01%. With +-0.5% slits, nearly 100% of the beam is transmitted from the linear accelerator to the target. The technique depends on the fact that the path length through bending magnets in the beam switchyard depends on energy. An estimate of resolution is given, and long term stability, phase measurement electronics, and experimental tests are discussed.
