Meeting with CNAO

Europe/Zurich

Technical Specs

Gas Injection

  • Marco says that gas injection/pressure bump should be fine
  • Vacuum should be 10e-6 (ideally 10e-07) after the pressure bump
  • Nitrogen may be ideal because they already use it in their accelerator

Number of Ionised Electrons

  • Marco didn’t have strong convictions about what he wants/needs to see with the BGI (e.g. tail distributions, just mean position etc.)
  • Said to aim for ~1200 counts (this is what was given as standard)

Mechanical Parameters

  • MBGI should be ideally 0.5 m in length - should be no more than 1 m long
  • More small/compact is better

Plan Going Forward

Prototype

  • Design prototype as if it is going into the new experimental beamline
  • Organize another meeting once conceptual design(s) are done, to discuss with CNAO
  • Test prototype in the experimental room at CNAO

Other Considerations

  • What is the initial energy and angular velocity spread of ionisation electrons? Does IPM account for this?
