Chopper

How to use it

Where is it?

Go here, then the Chopper controls are in the top left

How does it work?

The Chopper is a power electromagnet that can deflect beam into a beam dump

We can control it to block beam for some number of microseconds (Pulse Width), and to repeat this multiple times per second (Repetition Rate)

The percent of total beam not blocked, is called the Duty Factor

Even when sending as much beam as possible, it will still block beam for 50 out of every 10000us
