Characteristics of a negative pion beam in a therapeutic application
Description
Lithium-drifted silicon detectors were used to investigate the components of the pion beam at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility. The components of the incoming beam are about 5 percent electrons, 10 percent muons, and 85 percent pions. Pulse spectra of the incoming beam and of the ''stars'' produced by the pions were obtained in a phantom. The analysis of the spectra into different LET components showing where pions are most effective is presented. (U.S
