BEVATRON INDUCTION ELECTRODES
Redesign and relocation of the primary-standard induction electrode for monitoring the beam intensity of the Bevatron was undertaken as a part of the Bevatron major improvements program. A radius-indicating electrode structure was also built. Electronics was devised so that the induced signals on the electrodes could be brought through the vacuum wall of the Bevatron with minimum loss of information. The electrode assemblies were calibrated in terms of volts induced per circulating proton. The radial sensitivity of the radius electrode structure was calculated from the geometry of the electrode and measured with a thin search wire. The average induced voltage on the standard electrode is 109 mv per 10/sup 11/ protons. The radiusindicating structure has a sensitivity of 7.4% of full signal change per inch of radius change.
