RE: UCN kicker signal



Title: Message

Robert,

            Thanks for this important warning.  We will probably want to do something similar regarding a pause in the data taking.  A signal of some sorts is important.  We will need to talk it over here to see what suits us best.

Subject: UCN kicker signal

 

Hi,

 

what I have learned now is that UCN will run with 1% duty cycle using the full beam kicked ecery 6-8 min. for about 7 seconds.

This will seriously disturb our ALC experiments.

I will ask for the delivery of an 'kicker announcement signal' 10 seconds before kicking in order to stop our DAQ and start a WAIT gate.

 

Are there any (similar or additional) requirements from MuCAP or MuLAN?

 

regards

robert
