Calculation of Generalized Geometric Factor for Proton-Alpha Particle Telescope and Low-Energy Proton Spectrometer,

Abstract

The generalized geometric factor G(n, lambda) for the P-alpha particle telescope and LEPS instruments has been defined and formulated as an integral. Computer programs have been devised to evaluate this integral numerically assuming a sin(n) theta-type local pitch angle distribution. The results are presented graphically and in tabular form.
