Abstract

The effect of fast electron beam intensity fluctuations and of the dead time of the electron detectors on the shape of TDC spectra in tagged photon experiments is explained. Some consequences for the data analysis and for the use of multi-hit TDCs are also discussed.

    The time structure of the time spectrum is the result of the influence of the RF kicker magnet used for extraction, and the incomplete filling of the ring during injection. A similar structure was observed before the upgrade [30]. In this experiment the frequency of the RF kicker was 3.3 MHz resulting in a structure appearing every 305 ns with an additional structure appearing 108 ns from the structures referred to.
