Proton Calorimetry/Experimental Runs

Information is available for the following experimental runs:

2018

Measurements of 2 and 3 mm scintillator sheets: Thickness measurements of 2 mm and 3 mm thick scintillator sheets from Nuvia.

Plan of Action for January–March 2018: Plan of action for range calorimeter assembly and experimental tests from January to March 2018.

7th September 2017: Tests of Nuvia scintillator stacks with PRaVDA CMOS pixel sensors (PRIAPUS) at the Birmingham Cyclotron with a 28 MeV beam.
10th August 2017: Tests of Nuvia scintillator stacks with PRaVDA CMOS pixel sensors (PRIAPUS).
1st-3rd March 2017: Measurements at MedAustron with longer scintillator and 252MeV beam.; Give short explanation of the purpose and results.

24th-25th November 2016: Give short explanation of the purpose and results.
2nd-3rd August 2016: Energy-to-range calibration measurements with a calibration wheel used by physicists at Clatterbridge with detector module comprising a 2" PMT and new PS-based scintillator.; Data cross-checking measurements taken with the wheel to that taken with PMMA blocks of equivalent thickness at the same location, and further upstream at the modulator box.; Measured total dose delivered to the new PS-based scintillator for radiation damage and hardness considerations.; Recorded waveform data with new LeCroy HDO6104 oscilloscope.; Made neutron measurements with the large 8" PMT hexagonal block module.
