Data Acquisition and Processing System for Carbon Profiling Using the Accelerator IBIS

摘要

One of the uses of the accelerator IBIS is to measure the distribution of carbon in various matrices counting protons emitted from the reaction exp 12 C(d,p) exp 13 C as a deuteron beam is scanned across the sample. A low-cost system based upon two microcomputers has now been developed to acquire and analyse the data in real time. The microcomputer method offers a number of advantages over off-line calculation and reduces demands on accelerator time and staff effort. (Atomindex citation 11:527152)
