Description
Energy measurement of 50 MeV proton beam produced on the AVF MC-50 Cyclotron was conducted using a detector telescope with a NaI(Tl) scintillator as an E counter. Protons of various energies, elastically and inelastically scattered from the 12C target nucleus were measured at four different angles of 35 circle, 40 circle, 50 circle and 55 circle. We applied the chi-square method to determine the beam energy, which showed a well defined minimum chi-square corresponding to a beam energy of 49.6 ±2.3 MeV at the 68% confidence level. Also the light output response of NaI(Tl) to proton energies between 31 and 44 MeV is linear within 0.5 MeV and is in good accord with the recent result of Romero et al. [Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A 301 (1991) 241]. ((orig.))
