DRAGON Beam Normalization Study

Abstract:

Following the work of Hutcheon (2002), a study to determine the relationship of the beam current incident on the DRAGON gas target to the beta monitor counts and the elastic monitor counts was undertaken. Data for fourteen runs utilizing a $^{21}$Na beam were collected, and three different ratios were calculated for each run: elastic monitor counts to FC4 reading (R1), elastic monitor counts to beta monitor counts (R2), and beta monitor counts to FC4 reading (R3). Results indicate that R2 is the most constant ratio, with both R1 and R3 displaying larger standard deviations.
