A Magnetic Analyzer for Charged‐Particles from Nuclear Reactions
Abstract
A double‐focusing magnetic spectrometer for detecting and analyzing charged particles from nuclear reactions is described. The magnetic field, varying as r^(−½) near an average radius of 10.5 in., extends over a semicircle yielding object and anastigmatic image positions some distance outside of the region of strong field. The acceptance solid angle is Ω=0.0061 sterad. and the momentum resolution with an 8‐mm slit at the detector is R=128. The ultimate resolution determined by spherical aberration and some residual astigmatism is about 1000. Applications to the study of the energy and yield of nuclear reaction products are discussed.
