Study of UV Curing
Contents
Work in the Hall
- May 5th during the beam studies, placed 5 lead glass bars in Hall A on the beam left spectrometer. They are placed on a ledge on the small angle side near Q2.
Bleaching Lead Glass bars
Intro and lamps to be used
The lead glass bleaching process with UV light was used during the GEp(3) experiment and is extensively used in many other experiments. Due to the radiation conditions expected in GEp(5), a cleaning rate 5 times faster than GEp(3) is required.
The first step was change the kind of lamp used. In GEp(3) was used OSRAM DULUX/L 24W/67. The code 67 indicates the OSRAM 'color' code of the lamp. The emission spectra from this lamp shows that the maximum emission is around 460 nm, with a small tail in the UV region (see figure 1).
The cleaning process with UV light is based in the annihilation of Color Centers. For this, it is necessary make use of light with energy photon higher than the energy of the color center (should be explained better). Although the study has not been done yet, it is know that threshold of such Color Centers is in the UV region. Since the GEp(3) lamp has a total power output in the UV region of 50mW, the first step is looking for commercial with higher total power output in the UV region.
The most inexpensive and faster option is the OSRAM DULUX/L 18W/78. With this lamp it is not necessary huge inversion since the socket and ballast used is the same as the GEp(3) lamp. The emission spectra of this lamp shows a maximum close to 370 nm with a total power output of 3W in the UV region (see figure 1).
Preliminary measurements
February 18th and 19th, 4 bars from GEp3, one from Mark's prototye, and 2 bar irradiated in Idaho were measured their trasmission, longitudinal and transversally.
