| Popis: |
The energy of the H- /D- beam injected from the cyclotron into the COSY ring is measured by means of two capacitive phase probes utilizing the time of flight method. The probes are installed in the long straight section of the injection beam line. In addition to the energy, other beam parameters such as bunch length, shape parameter and frequency can be obtained from the signals. Also the uncalibrated beam intensity can be extracted from the signals by integration. The signals from these probes are recorded and analyzed by means of an oscilloscope. The signal processing and analysis software running on the oscilloscope is written in Java. Since the software calculates the beam parameters automatically, it can be used for continuous monitoring and logging. |
