FR5REP119 | REX-ISOLDE Facility and the Importance of Beam Time Structure to Data Acquisition and Processing - the Experimentalist's View | 5059 |
|
||
The REX-ISOLDE radioactive ion beam facility at CERN makes great demands also on the experimentalists due to its specific duty cycle and the time structure with short beam pulses and large intensities. This paper describes the experimentalist's point of view, how to obtain sufficient and correct statistics under the special circumstances arising from the beam time structure. In particular, the case of Coulomb excitation experiments, where a large total cross section is ultimately desired, is studied in greater detail. |
