Low intensity configuration at NTF for microdosimetry and spectroscopy

Creators

Description

Additional circuitry has been developed to regulate beam delivery to Fermilab's Neutron Therapy Facility. This allows the number of protons on target to be reduced to a point that makes microdosimetry and spectroscopy possible. An introduction to the problem is presented. The modifications are described and results verifying their effectiveness are reported
