摘要

This work recommends a new and simple-to-perform method for measuring the beam energy of an accelerator The proposed method requires the irradiation of two monitor foils interspaced by an energy degrader The primary advantage of the proposed method which makes this method unique from previous energy evaluation strategies that employ the use of monitor foils is that this method is independent of the detector efficiency calibration This method was evaluated by performing proton activation of (nat)Cu foils using both a cyclotron and a tandem Van de Graaff accelerator The monitor foil activ
