IR Observations of the ETA (Experimental Test Accelerator) Beam Channel.
Abstract
Aerospace Corporation scientists observed infrared radiation from the ETA beam channel in the wavelength range 0.65 -14.4 micrometer on September 12-16, 1983. The data consisted of time profiles of radiation pulses from the beam channel, measured with a limiting time resolution of 100 nanoseconds. Isolation of spectral bands was achieved through the use of broadband filters and circular variable filters (CVF). The latter had resolution lambda/delta lambda = 50 - 100, where lambda is wavelength. A total of 1076 radiation pulses were recorded. The beam propagation tube was filled with either ambient laboratory air or synthetic (dry) air at pressures ranging from 0.05 Torr to 500 Torr. Keywords: Charged-particle beams; Radiative diagnostics; Infrared radiation; Molecular band emission; Atmospheric radiation.
