An electrostatic analyzer has been built for use with the high pressure electrostatic generator at the University of Wisconsin. The proton beam from the generator is deflected through a 90° arc of 40″ radius by means of a radial electric field between curved metal plates spaced 516′′ apart. Suitably disposed slits select a beam which has a very small energy spread. The apparatus has been operated with energy resolutions up to 5000, and preliminary tests have been made, using the 985- and 1020-kv γ-ray resonances in the reaction Al27+H1→Si28+hν.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
