The SRC Tritium Experiment (E12-14-011) is an (e,e'p) experiment in Hall A, comparing the momentum distribution of protons in tritium and helium-3. These nuclei have a large proton-neutron asymmetry, but are also isospin-mirror nuclei, meaning that the proton distribution in tritium can tell us about the neutron distribution in helium-3.

During the experiment

The information that was more relevant for activities during the data-taking period will be moved from this page to the following new page:

Beam Energy Calibration

Done by D. Higinbotham (This is a 'pass-dependent' statement)

Use the Tiefenbach energy multiplied by 1.0025(5)

(That is, replace the value Ebeam in db_run.dat by 1.0025xEbeam)

check this too

Other information

These are the nominal values we got by optimizing in simc (these are not the actual values from the experiment)

Kinematics LHRS momentum [GeV] LHRS angle [deg] RHRS momentum [GeV] RHRS angle [deg]
Fast 3.543 20.88 1.4805 48.80
Slow 3.543 20.88 1.246 58.50
Parallel (Hydrogen) 3.543 17.80 1.4805 48.80
  • BCM calibration
    • run number: 100172
    • target: carbon foil
    • currents and attenuator values:
      • 3uA ---> 140
      • 7uA ---> 163
      • 12uA ---> 184
      • 18uA ---> 204
      • 22.2uA ---> 214
    • These are nominal values for the beam current. Gotta get the actual values from epics info.
    • See example in the halog, entry number: 3505501
  • Unser calibration
    • run number: 100451
    • target: dummy
    • current values: 0,2,0,3,0,5,0,10,0,25,0,40,0,60,0,80,0,90,0,100,0,2,0,3,0,5,0,10,0 uA
    • Ideally we would have completed two full cycles from 0 to 100 uA, but the beam came back and we decided to go back to production.
    • See example in the halog, entry number: 3499263
