We request 3 days of ATLAS beams for testing the ionization chamber component of the SPIDER detector, a spectrometer for mea suring the mass yields of neutron-induced fission fragments. The ion ization chamber will be a stand alone detector to be coupled to the end of the beam pipe at zero degrees. These tests are a mass and energy specific characterization of the ionization chamber operating conditions specific to SPIDER, including entrance window material options. Once tested, the results will be applied to the energy cal ibration process of SPIDER, a crucial step to achieving high mass resolution.
