Detector Equipment

• Stack A: 14 clear sheets of scintillator around 2.86 mm thick, with mylar foil for optical isolation, in C-section stack holder and coupled to single Rev. B DDC232 board.
• Stack B: 11 clear sheets and 3 white painted sheets of scintillator with mylar foil for optical isolation (clear sheets), in C-section stack holder and coupled to single Rev. B DDC232 board.
• DAQ using USB104 A7 FPGA and Raspberry Pi (running web GUI).

Experiment Plan

• 60 MeV pristine Bragg peak measurements (and with some absorber for different ranges?):
  • Stack A front and back.
  • Stack B front and back(?)
• SOBP measurements (one type only?):
  • Stack A front and back.
  • Stack B front and back(?)

Experiment Notes

Stack A + NUC PC.

Beam current nominally 1nA.
