Funding: Operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the United States Department of Energy. We have designed a retarding field analyzer (RFA) and a rad-hard amplifier which improves the sensitivity over the present RFA installed in the Main Injector. From computer simulations and bench measurements, our RFA will have a 20% improvement in sensitivity compared to the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) design. And when we couple our RFA to the matched rad-hard amplifier, S/N is also improved. |
