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