Monte Carlo Simulations for a Quadrupole Band Pass Filter for LANSCE Protons

POSTER

Abstract

As we know that protons have a positive charge, which means that if they hit any material, they will ionize it. This issue is a big problem for circuit researchers and indeed it is a problem for NASA and particle accelerator users. Thus, in this research, we have built a conceptual design consisting of two quadrupole magnets to select a ``band pass'' energy spectrum from the continuous proton spectrum at the LANSCE facility. We have found that we will be able to control and collect the desired protons with adequate rate and energy resolution. Thus, we will be able to create a new facility to measure the effect of 50 -- 700 MeV protons on electronic circuits.
