Optical design and performance of the SASP spectrometer at TRIUMF
Abstract
A new Q-Q-Clamshell magnetic spectrometer called SASP has been commissioned in the proton hall at TRIUMF. The principal optical characteristics are: a solid angle acceptance of 13.5 msr, a momentum bite of 25%, a momentum resolution of Δ p/ p=2×10 -4, and a maximum central momentum of 720 MeV/ c. We describe the optical design, the magnetostatic design, the magnetic field mapping procedure, and the performance of this instrument.
