Tuning of the First Section of the Biomedical Channel at LAMPF

Abstract

Results are presented from the tuning of the first section of the Biomedical Channel at LAMPF; the work centers about the use of the third bending magnet as a magnetic spectrometer. The momentum resolution at the intermediate focus is given in detail. The performance of a wedge degrader that compresses the wide momentum acceptance of the first section is discussed. The output π- rate is also given.
