R12290u Series, R1328u Series ULTRA-FAST PHOTODETECTOR BIPLANAR PHOTOTUBES R12290U SERIES, R1328U SERIES Biplanar phototubes are high-speed photodetectors capable of measuring waveforms of ultrashort optical pulses. Hamamatsu provides various types of biplanar photocathodes with different photocathodes to cover a wide range of applications spanning the vacuum UV to the infrared region. ■R12290U series The R12290U series have a large sensitive area and fast time response, such as 270 ps rise time and 100 ps fall time. ■R12290U-55 (For excimer laser measurements) The R12290U-55 was developed to directly measure high energy light such as from excimer lasers. Compared to conventional thermal conversion type detectors and semiconductor sensors the R12290U-55 offers fast time response and stable operation even when measuring high energy light. ■R1328U series ▲Left: R12290U The R1328U series have very fast time response, such as 60 ps rise time Right: R1328U and 90 ps fall time and excellent impedance matching. These characteristics make it possible to reproduce precise waveform of light pulses with extremely less ringing.

Factors which determine the maximum rating of the peak photocathode current are: 1) space charge, 2) photocathode surface saturation, 3) residual gas pressure and 4) photocathode surface fatigue, among others. in consideration of these factors, the Hamamatsu R12290U-51 to -54, R12290U-55 and R1328U series are designed to operate up to 1 A, 2 A and 0.3 A respectively when light pulses of 50 ns width are used.

Terrall Since the last progress report, primary emphasis has been on con- struction of additional lengths of accelerating cavity and the associated equipment necessary for operation. Primary design work has been finished on all components necessary for operation of the accelerator and most com- ponents are in the process of being assembled. The following items include recent developments and design details which have not been mentioned earlier. Delivery on the 2-Mev Van de Graaff machine is expected at an early date. A pulsing circuit to modulate the electron beam from the Van de Graaff machine has been designed and built. Since this circuit is to be placed in the dome of the machine at high pres- sure, all component parts have been subjected to 400 lb/in2 pressure to ensure that they have the necessary strength. Machining work on the one-foot accelerator sections is essentially completed. Assembly and brazing of the parts are now in progress. The final design for the 20-foot accelerator tube has been slightly modified in that it has been divided into three sections which are isolated from each other rf-wise by short drift tubes which act as waveguides beyond cut-off. The primary purpose of this procedure is to allow for tuning each section to optimum frequency independently.

  • Controlled Dynamics of Laser-Cooled Ions in a Penning Trap
    Controlled Dynamics of Laser-Cooled Ions in a Penning Trap Eoin Seymour Gwyn Phillips December 2004 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London and for the Diploma of Imperial College Abstract I report on a scheme for improved control over the motion of small numbers of laser-cooled ions in a Penning trap. This work is part of a larger project to assess the suitability of the Penning trap for quantum information processing (QIP). Laser cooling of ions in this type of trap is complicated by large Zeeman shifts of the cooling- and repumping-transition wavelengths from those in zero mag- netic field. Lasers can not, therefore, be tuned to the unshifted atomic spectral lines using an external reference such as a hollow-cathode lamp. In order to address this difficulty I built a wavemeter with a precision of one part in 107 for direct tuning of the lasers to the transition wavelengths. It was also necessary to improve the laser-frequency stabilities by building reference cavities to which they could be locked. In evaluating the suitability of the Penning trap for QIP, one must address the poor localisation of the ions due to the difficulty in cool- ing one of the radial motions: the magnetron motion. I have implemented a technique called axialisation that reduces this motion's amplitude by coupling it to the other radial motion: the modified cyclotron motion, which is efficiently laser-cooled. This was done with small clouds of magnesium ions and later with small clouds of calcium ions.

  • RF Phototube, Optical Clock and Precise Measurements in Nuclear
    Radio Frequency Phototube, Optical Clock and Precise Measurements in Nuclear Physics Amur Margaryan Yerevan Physics Institute after A.I. Alikhanian Yerevan, Armenia Abstract Recently a new experimental program of novel systematic studies of light hypernuclei using pionic decay was established at JLab (Study of Light Hypernuclei by Pionic Decay at JLab, JLab Experiment PR-08-012). The highlights of the proposed program include high precision measurements of binding energies of hypernuclei by using a high resolution pion spectrometer, HπS. The average values of binding energies will be determined within an accuracy of ~10 keV or better. Therefore, the crucial point of this program is an absolute calibration of the HπS with accuracy 10-4 or better. The merging of continuous wave laser-based precision optical-frequency metrology with mode-locked ultrafast lasers has led to precision control of the visible frequency spectrum produced by mode-locked lasers. Such a phase-controlled mode-locked laser forms the foundation of an optical clock or “femtosecond optical frequency comb (OFC) generator,” with a regular comb of sharp lines with well defined frequencies. Combination of this technique with a recently developed radio frequency (RF) phototube results in a new tool for precision time measurement. We are proposing a new time-of-flight (TOF) system based on an RF phototube and OFC technique. The proposed TOF system achieves 10 fs instability level and opens new possibilities for precise measurements in nuclear physics such as an absolute calibration of magnetic spectrometers within accuracy 10-4 - 10-5. 1. Introduction The binding energies of the Λ particle in the nuclear ground state give one of the basic pieces of information on the Λ-nucleus interaction.
