for more recent values.
Note added Nov 9, 2004: Check recent newsletters for actual
yields on target. Some beams such as Sn, are stronger than
by factors as high as 10 or more.
Note added Feb. 16, 2001: This uranium carbide target has been
proven to withstand 10 uA of proton beam from ORIC.
Beam on target prediction includes charge state fraction and a
factor to account for transmission losses and inaccuracies in
the magnitude of the charge state fraction.
Actual charge state selection for an individual experiment
depends on many factors. The estimates calculated here are
for planning purposes.
The range of acceptable tandem voltages is 1-25 MV. Running
above 23 MV requires significant conditioning of the tandem and
may not always be available. Operation above 24 MV may be
possible but at a significant cost in time and stability of the
beam is usually not optimum.
