Notes on NAC (National Accelerator Centre, Stellenbosch, South Africa) Report NAC 83-05 Entitled: Beam Pulse Length Determination by Spectral Analysis

摘要

The NAC Report NAC/BD/83-05, Beam pulse length determination by spectral analysis, was to be distributed to several commercial manufacturers of spectrum analyzers and was not written for perusal by people working outside the field of cyclotrons. For this reason this report contains notes on some background and clarification of terminology, and are to be read in conjuction with the previous report. Some background information on particle beams and their rf systems are given as well as on the finite risetime of the pulse and beam currents. The measurement of the beam pulse length is also dealt with, as well as the spectral analysis of the pulse length. (Atomindex citation 17:032359)
